Exploring consciousness in astrological terms emerged as the most requested theme. The project was put in the hands of veteran astrologian Noel Tyl. The result is a col- ‘lection of ten astrologer’s ideas and techniques for understanding consciousness. Ty! establishes a conceptual framework for Exploring Consciousness In The Horoscope with his introductory essay. What is consciousness? Is it a thing ora process? He suggests that con- sciousness is something to achieve: its the act of getting it all together. Self-realization and wholeness are the ultimate goals, and the process according to Ty], often leads to leadership and celebrity status. The path toward consciousness and the study of astrology share the ultimate goul of understanding the meaning of life and the “individuals” part within the external reality. Beyond these parameters, Ty] formulates the critical question: Can the key to consciousness be discov- ered in particular horoscopic mea- surements? Pope John Paul It has one of those charts that might be considered spiritual and religious. But then so does mass-murderer Henri Desire! For every person who lives a totally conscious existence. many others born at the same time share an identical birth chart. but have not achieved this heightened state. Ty] notes that the goal of consciousness is the fulfillment of potentials. Astrology can describe those potentials, but not necessari- ly the process of getting there. Nine more astrologers portray the interface of consciousness and astrology. To my old friend Ed Steinbrecher, the concept of Oneness is the ultimate spiritual realization. He has found astrology lo be the only system that describes experienced reality as a whole and allows the “individual” to correct for erroncous progrum- ming. : He refers to the horoscope as a holographic map. As such, the per- ceived reality and everyone therein is a refiection of the horoscape. He advises his clients, “If you don’t like the message the outer world carries for you, only by changing yourself will you get the outer world to change.” A snan after my own heart!
