The
Dark of the Soul
Psychopathology in the Horoscope
Liz Greene
The three seminars in this book use astrological perspectives
to explore a spectrum of extreme psychological states,
from the condition known as psychopathy to the collective
mechanism of scapegoating as much a pathology as any diagnosed
mental illness. Astrologers often avoid confronting the
issues of madness and human destructiveness, and political
correctness has made it even more difficult to face such
issues honestly and without sentiment or hypocrisy. But
only by exploring the roots of what we call madness can
we find any positive and creative approach to the mystery
of why some individuals fail to cope constructively with
life 's challenges. This book will sometimes shock and
disturb, but it is an invaluable resource for any practicing
astrologer concerned with the dilemma of human suffering,
and any lay person wishing to understand how astrology
can contribute to our comprehension of human behaviour.
