This is the second of two volumes of transcribed lectures Darby Costello presented for the CPA in which she shared a dynamic and imaginative exploration of the four astrological elements. Poetic and comprehensive, this volume is a must-have introduction to the elements. Part One: Earth. Discover the nature and meaning of the earth element beginning with the importance of the earth rituals of archaic cultures. Next, explore the meaning of planetary placements in the three earthy signs, and the qualities of the planetary rulers of those signs. The complexity and subtlety of earth is further revealed through an analysis of the chart of Teilhard de Chardin, the remarkable Christian mystic and scientist who integrated two apparently disparate yet intimately connected dimensions of earth which form the great paradox of this element - its rationality and respect for facts, and its profound sense of the magic and transpersonal mystery inherent in the heart of material reality. Part Two: Air. The air element is often mistakenly thought to be "merely" rational. In this seminar Darby takes us on an expansive flight into the upper regions of the mind, exploring first the meaning and nature of air, and then examining planetary placements in the three airy signs and the attributes and mythology of the airy planetary rulers - which, according to traditional astrology, each govern both an earthy and an airy sign. The fluid and effervescent spirit of air is further revealed through the chart of the great poet W. B. Yeats, whose vision, fertility of ideas, and love of beauty in form and idea portray the essential nature of this most elusive of the astrological elements.

Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, Volumes I through IV was inspired by a dream in which I witnessed the collision of two worlds, one red and one green, the red cube was the dragon of Chinese Medical Philosophy, the green globe was the holistic cosmos that I already knew well through tropical astrology. The outcome of this dream was this book that integrates the two systems, and illuminates the core they share. Behind every aspect of human experience we find the influence of light and darkness both as a reality and metaphor. Three great cycles of light and darkness govern experience: the seasonal cycle, the waxing and waning of the moon, and the emergence and retreat of daylight. These three cycles connect directly to the triune principle in Chinese philosophy that differentiates three aspects of human endeavor: spirit, body, and social life. Heaven and earth seem to form a polarity. When they interact, they produce all the multifarious form of life near the surface of the earth. The whole ever remains a unity. Heaven floods the earth with both solar and celestial energy. The earth responds to that influx by producing living forms on its surface. The horizon line of the celestial chart symbolizes this plane where energy and matter interact. From this we can assess where a persons focus is and how they balance the three different aspects of human experience. Human beings are thefinest expression of heaven and earth, if and only if we harmonize with the great cycles of light. In Volume IV I connect this core wisdom from Chinese sages with the astrological idea of the three modes of tropical astrology This volume continues the holistic and cyclic approach to astrology developed in the previous three volumes and culminates in a detailed description of the effect of the Sun, Moon, or Horizon in each zodiac sign. Each sign has a mode and the mode has affinity either with heaven and the sun, earth and the moon, or the ascendant and human affairs. The mutable signs are aligned with the sphere of the ecliptic and the mutable mode. Heaven, Earth, and Humankind maps a path to understanding why astrology works in terms that anyone can understand. The operative power of astrology is the three light cycles as all the ancients understood. We have lost the wisdom, but that lost wisdom is recovered somewhat in this valuable book. How is our human experience connected to the greater life of the cosmos?Our answer depends on our degree of self-realization, and we cannot truly know ourselves unless we understand how we feel and react to the cycles of heaven. This book brings some traditional wisdom into focus to help us with these fundamental questions about how to live well.

Almost everybody knows their astrological Sun sign. What if the Earth sign was just as important to our self-awareness and astrological studies? What if our present ignorance of it is contributing not only to the obesity epidemic but our continued destruction of the environment? This is a book about astrology's missing planet: Earth. For eons, astrologers have cast their charts using every known planet in our solar system, save one: our own. Earth Rise: The Case for Studying and Using Earth in Astrology is the book that finally addresses the missing planet in astrology. Explaining what that has meant to us, to astrology in general, and to our relationship with the planet itself. I also cite the marked differences between Libra and Taurus and argue that Earth, not Venus, should rule Taurus. Earth Rise includes: Earth's potential in astrology Why the astrological house wheel is not enough to represent Earth in natal charts. How the omission of planet Earth has affected our awareness, our health, and our reality Where Earth's astrological traits have been hiding all these years Earth's esoteric and mundane symbology Explanation and delineation of the fixed Sun/Earth opposition Earth and the human body In depth: how the earth element operates in astrological charts The marked differences between the signs of Libra and Taurus Why the Venus-rulership of Taurus is over A deeper exploration of Taurian qualities Why Earth should be the planetary ruler of Taurus Complete delineation of Earth in signs, houses, aspects, transits, and Horary Charts This book offers in-depth coverage of a subject that has only been lurking in the background for years and should be of great interest to astrologers, students of all metaphysical or occult studies, or anyone who would like to know more about themselves, the Earth, the earth element, and the discipline of astrology.
