12 Wheels of Karma

This little jewel of a book presents a simple yet profound and effective way of using the twelve astrological archetypes as tools to release yourself from suffering and naturally open your heart to others. Whether you're new to astrology and meditation or a long-time practitioner, the cutting-edge astro-dharma meditations and self-inquiry exercises in this book will help you: - Establish a grounded daily practice in alignment with your archetypally unique style of awakening that helps you to integrate spiritual insight with daily life. - Identify your spinning wheels of suffering and learn ways of returning to their compassionate, witnessing center. - Increase your capacity to understand, forgive and support the full spectrum of personality types that you encounter in daily life. Clear illustrations of the twelve wheels that correspond to the archetypes lucidly describe the "spin" we get into around key issues in our lives such as nurture, embodiment, self-worth, authority, service and community. These wheels reveal how all of the astrological archetypes live in each of us, whatever sign we identify with as "ours." The wheels also illuminate what the author refers to as "the windows of sanity" - the point in each cycle where we begin to lose our clarity and enter into a downward spin. By learning to recognize this point in ourselves and others, we can abort the spin and return home to the awakened expression of each archetype that is our birthright.
