Description
Astrosophy, or star (astro) wisdom (sophia), is the spiritual scientific understanding of our relationship to the world of the stars. It was inaugurated by Rudolf Steiner and developed by Willi Sucher from the 1920s until his death in 1985.
Beginning with the basics, Hilton takes the reader through an introductory course to astrosophy -- from understanding and working with the zodiac and planetary spheres to actual chart construction and to the deeper meaning behind practical astrosophy and its potential for one's own inner development. He also draws important distinctions between today's popular astrology and the esoteric basis for an approach to star wisdom as viewed and developed through spiritual science.
This is an essential guide for anyone who wants to begin a study of this fascinating discipline and spiritual path through the stars.
