    Dane Rudhyar's legacy of metaphysical, insightful astrological work lives on! This offering is practical, irreplacable and timeless, even as its uses involve the understanding of time itself through the Sun/Moon relationship. All temporal existence holds its story via a birth time, an arising "self" which for a time lives and grows on this plane of existence, and then includes a release of the personality & soul from the very identity its own birth story describes. This cyclical mystery affects all of creation from the birth of an idea or nation-state, to the nuanced unfoldment of an individual human consciousness, as expressed via the natal & progressed horoscope. Leyla Rael Rudhyar also contributes to this understanding in her segment of the book. The Self further grows through the various stages of prescribed life events mirrored by interconnected cycles of increase and decrease. This knowledge is like a life-giving elixir for humankind, as we all need reflection and more accurate orientation of perception, to be free of our often self-imposed suffering, through narrow understanding and "wrong identification" as the body itself. The body/personality is just the beginning of our story. The personality/ego vehicle, is like a "skin-car", which will fall away when a particular phase of existence has fulfilled its life-story, however short or long, on this road of life. The Rudhyars remind us that our immortal soul is connected to all of life, so we can step back and view our challenges in the broader and deeper context of this larger unfolding cycle.

    In anchoring our understanding of our own (and our friend's, family members or client's) challenges to grow beyond the limits of egoic conditions, we gain an expanded viewpoint that naturally includes compassionate acceptance of each human's unique timing, tasks & talents. We are not what we appear to be in the superficial hold of current cultural projections. We are immortal souls in passage--ever growing and changing and becoming truer to our innate oneness with divine source. The Rudhyars demarcate these rites of passage using the solar-lunation cycles to orient and guide us as we grow through & observe the necessary states of existence we must experience fully to awaken to our truer nature. I love this book and highly recommend it to anyone curious about the timing of the unfolding events in their own or another's life/death process. Few books hold such treasures as these, and I am grateful that this material is still in print. I hope it continues as long as humans investigate the nature of existence and the challenges of daily life and true identity.

    First published under the title, "The Moon, the Cycles and Fortunes of Life", this book is a helpful addition to any astrology collection.

    The relationship of the sun and moon in one's chart is the very basis of one's personality.

    A valuable section is included on the Parts of Fortune and Spirit, with detailed information on their definitions. The Part of Fortune through the signs and houses is a good reference

    for the beginning or intermediate student, and the lunation phases are discussed in relation to the other planets.

    Discover how the moon is the "weaver" shuttling between the inner and outer planets of our solar system! Mr. Rudhyar uses the solar chart (sunrise) to explain the effects of the other planets upon the moon and upon one's creative expression and personal life.

    And just what is your "lunation birthday"? Find out in The Lunation Cycle, by one of the very best and innovative astrologers ever.

    Yep, I can highly recommend this book!

    Reviewed in Japan on October 15, 2011
    かのディーン・ルディアDane Rudhyahに拠る、'67年作品(〜p.138)で、当初
    は"The Moon,The Cycles and Fortunes of Life"のタイトルでの刊行であった。

    p.139〜196には氏の奥方レイラ・ラ−ル・ルディアLeyla Rael Rudhyahの'84年
    作品を収録している。

    1.「占星術、時間とサイクル」。まず著者は、占星術はライフ・サイクルを学ぶ為
    の技術であり、その為には時間とはなにかを学ぶ必要がある、とし持論を展開するの
    であるが、それは以下、時間を2つのタイプに大別したものが主旨のようである。

    (1)一般的な時間-客観的時間-集合的-天文学

    (2)個人的な時間-主観的持続期間-(duration)-個人的-占星術

    占星術とは天文学的データを基に行うものであり、客観的な時間とサイクルを扱う
    が、単に天空のサイクルを学ぶ為だけのものでないとし、それは個人の成長の可能性
    に関わったサイクルの意味を解釈する技術なのだから、とし、その真の目的とする処
    について述べるのである。

    出生図を客観的時間の一瞬と看做す事とそして、唯一無二の、可能性を孕んだ一個
    人を表した図である事、2つの視点から比較する件りは、著者お得意のフレーズ、
    決まり文句を伴った、怒濤のごとき主張であるとレヴュアーは考える。

    2.「関係のダイナミックなパターンとしての月のサイクル」 p.26「月のサイクル・パターン
    について」は、アスペクトと相(phase)との相違についてから、新月→三日月→上弦月→
    …にかんする考察迄。

    太陽と月との関係は角度から判ずるのは勿論、月の形状に拠っても判断出来るとし、
    持論を展開。月の形状が直線を有するのは、上弦と下弦の2つのケースであるが、
    それは見え掛かり上「2つに割れる事」である事から、「危機の象徴」である、等が
    述べられている。

    Grateful for this book as I find Rudhyar's work to be amazing, scholarly, such depth. This book encompasses the lunar phases as well as the Part of Fortune. I hope to see more and more of Dane's books becoming available as many are long out of print.
