Incarnation
The Four Angles and the Moon's Nodes
Melanie
Reinhart
The
various factors in the birth chart may be experienced on many
different levels, both inner and outer. This volume explores
the meaning and characteristic expressions of those fundamental
axes which are concerned with our incarnation in the world
- the angles and the Nodes of the Moon.
Part
One, The Four Angles, looks in depth at their symbolism
and meaning. The reader is taken on a journey around the angles,
considering their element, mode, and accompanying natal and
transiting planets, as well as an illuminating presentation
of the astronomy involved. Traditional interpretations are
augmented by the fresh and original perspectives characteristic
of Melanie's teaching style, which focuses on evoking personal
insight as much as conveying information or technique. There
is also a guided imagery exercise which can be followed by
the reader, designed to further personalise and deepen the
material.
Part
Two, The Moon's Nodes, invites the reader to contemplate
their meaning from first principles, considering the interrelationship
of the Sun, Moon, and Earth in space. Established ideas about
the interpretation of the Nodes are reviewed and sometimes
challenged, and there are several interesting and original
avenues of further exploration suggested. The imagery of the
dragon is considered, along with Draconic astrology, a fascinating
case study, and an exploration of the psychological processes
connected with eclipses. The existing literature on the Nodes
is not vast, and this book will doubtless become a welcome
addition, inspiring the reader with new techniques and perspectives
which can easily be applied to the chart to yield new understanding.
