Explore the Greek and Roman myths that form the foundation of astrology and discover how to tap into their archetypal energies for personal growth. The planets and major asteroids each have a corresponding deity from Greek and Roman mythology. By viewing those deities and their stories as aspects of yourself, you will discover which archetypal energies you express fluently, and which need attention so you can thrive in all areas of life. This book takes you through the myths behind each of these deities, such as Ares (Mars), Kronos (Saturn), and Demeter (Ceres), and what it means when their celestial bodies appear in your birth chart. Discover their personalities and their influence on universal traits like physical expression, self-discipline, and motherly love. By understanding how they affect each area of our lives from love to communication, you can work constructively with these energies and gain a greater understanding of yourself and others.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Understanding the Planetary Myths is another stellar contribution you won't want to miss if you love history, stories, and astrology. Lisa has taken ancient culture mythology and aligned the planets and asteroids with the mythological heroes and heroines, giving new meaning to our natal charts and readings...Connecting mythology with planets affords us a better understanding of who we are and why we are the way we are. I found her insights to be fascinating and her associations mind-shifting. This is a brand-new landscape of understating natal charts and explaining our unique traits, strengths, and weaknesses through mythological personalities. Treat yourself to this book and learn how you fit into the realm of myths and planetary significance...I promise you will come away with valuable insights, a deeper understanding of yourself, and a boatload of entertaining stories from the pantheon."

Stories in the Stars is a fresh and enlightening approach to interpreting horoscopes, and understanding the role myth and the archetypes of classical deities plays in our natal charts. This is a book you will refer to again and again."
