The astrology of Making the Gods Work for You is the astrology referred to by Jung as 'the first form of psychology'. This astrology works from a principle that the ancients knew instinctively, and modern science has confirmed; that life and matter are universally connected.Caroline Casey describes each planet in turn and uses myth, psychology and astrology to show how the outer planets rule the larger currents and rhythms of our lives. For example, Saturn, the 'container of our lives', governs our responsibility and moves in cycles of seven and 28 years, proving that the 'seven-year itch' is not a mere cliché, but Saturn's push on us to reassess our obligations. Venus, the invisible force of attraction, love, kinship, art and relationships, reminds us to honour our individual affinities - the people, colours, art forms and interests to which we are drawn. Full of engaging narrative punctuated by stories, fables and human interest stories, Making the Gods Work For You is an accessible, fascinating and informative read.… (more)
