In this creative and original work, Eric invites the reader on an adventure through the astrological system -- following the trajectory of the Sagittarian arrow as it ascends to the transpersonal before gliding back to view life anew. This is a philosophical discussion about our inherent connection to nature -- how astrology not only allows us to understand our evolutionary process but to partner with Spirit to expand and create our destiny.

One major theme is the integration of perspectives. True to the spirit of Uranus currently residing in Pisces, various fields are beginning to dissolve barriers and come together. Included are ways that astrology may join more with our wisdom traditions as well as science. The result is to move away from the confines of only viewing astrology in a 2-dimensional fashion, as we are accustomed to do with the analysis of charts. This is a multi-leveled and multidimensional vision of the system.

Most compellingly is the collaboration with paradigm changing research from physics, which irrefutably positions the psyche in complete consort with planetary energy in a most intimate way. Eric explains that with a mult-leveled approach, we can understand the symbolic nature of astrology while also preserving our fundamental connection to Nature that hosts us.

The spirit of the book is to question, to seek and to expand. Eric invites the reader to adapt an inquisitive approach as we strive to develop a holistic view of this fascinating existence. Instead of delivering the ideas dogmatically, the book asks the reader to check in with the self, to find one's own unique truth. Together we approach the awe of the universe -- and what is often marginalized is how emotional the quest can be. This book is written from the heart, a synthesis of both analytical and imaginative styles. Ideas are grounded through creative writing vignettes, examples from culture, prominent people and everyday life

The intended audience is open-minded spiritual seekers drawn to astrology who are willing and able to stretch their minds into new possibilities. The book is appropriate for astrology students and professionals interested in philosophical questions and dimensions of the field. It is for those who similarly believe that astrology is the philosopher's stone -- the agent or catalyst that brings clarity to our most ancient philosophical riddles.
