A glass can be filled with poison or a delicious wine; both liquids are shaped by the form of the glass. The same is true for the psyche: even if the structure (for example, in a horoscope) is predetermined, this does not necessarily mean that the events that bring this basic framework to life are also predetermined. With great conviction, the author conveys his message: the horoscope is an archetype of a special kind. Rudhyar reveals that astrology can indeed play a role in the development of personality. At the same time, he does not fail to point out the hidden dangers within it. Particularly valuable are his insights into the mysteries of sleep and dreams, the sexual factors of personality, the major turning points in life, and the successful handling of crises.
