Speaking to the Stars An Introduction to Astrosophy by Jonathan Hilton

A New Star Wisdom developed by Willi Sucher from the insights of Rudolf Steiner
“...the  great paradox is that the loss of direct spiritual perception of the  gods was necessary in evolution so that human beings could fulfill their  great task in world evolution. According to Rudolf Steiner, this task  is that we become beings of freedom and of the love that is born out of  that freedom. This means that the experience of separation from the  divine, unique to humanity among all beings, has the possibility, not  the predetermination, to establish something new in the cosmos: a rank  of beings who freely choose to participate with the divine plan out of  the love born from that freedom.” (from the book)
Based on the author’s comprehensive video course on star wisdom (astrosophy),  this book presents a thorough introduction to star wisdom as  inaugurated by the spiritual philosopher Rudolf Steiner and the pioneer  of astrosophy Willi Sucher, whose work and methods Jonathan Hilton has  studied, practiced, and developed for many years.
Beginning with  the basics, Hilton takes the reader through an introductory course on  astrosophy—from understanding and working with the zodiac and planetary  spheres to actual chart construction and to the spiritual significance  and deeper meaning behind practical astrosophy and its potential for  one’s own inner development. In the process, he also brings a historical  perspective and carefully draws important distinctions between today’s  popular astrology and the esoteric basis for an approach to star wisdom  as viewed and developed through spiritual science.
Also included  in this course on astrosophy are numerous statements from the works of  Rudolf Steiner on our human relationship to the stars, zodiac, and  cosmos.
This is an essential guide for anyone who wants to begin a study of this discipline and spiritual path through the stars.
