Journal for Star Wisdom 2011 includes articles of interest concerning star wisdom (Astrosophy), as well as a guide to the correspondences between stellar configurations during the life of Christ and those of today. This guide comprises a complete sidereal ephemeris and aspectarian, geocentric and heliocentric, for each day throughout the year. Published yearly, new editions are available beginning in November for the coming new year. According to Rudolf Steiner, every step taken by Christ during his ministry between the baptism in the Jordan and the resurrection was in harmony with―and an expression of―the cosmos. The Journal for Star Wisdom is concerned with these heavenly correspondences during the life of Christ. It is intended to help provide a foundation for cosmic Christianity, the cosmic dimension of Christianity. It is this dimension that has been missing from Christianity in its two-thousand-year history. Readers can begin on this path by contemplating the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets against the background of the zodiacal constellations (sidereal signs) today in relation to corresponding stellar events during the life of Christ. In this way, the possibility is opened for attuning, in a living way, to the life of Christ in the etheric cosmos. The 2011 Journal for Star Wisdom begins with a special extract from The Rose of the World by Daniel Andreev, as well as an extract from volume three of the original Rosa Mira: Rose of the World―“The Preparation of Human Beings for the Coming Antilogos”―translated and published for the first time in English. This article is of special interest to those who wish to understand better the impending incarnation of Ahriman, the Antichrist. The main focus of this year's journal is the significant year of 2012, with 2011 as a stepping stone to this pivotal year in the history of humanity and the Earth. Apart from articles by David Tresemer and Robert Powell more directly concerning 2012, William Bento’s article offers important perspectives on the theme of prophecy―its meaning and significance for modern human beings. Kevin Dann highlights the Christ rhythm of 33 1/3 years in the biography of Henry David Thoreau and in the history of the United States. Brian Gray looks at the Moon Node rhythm of 18 years 7 months in Rudolf Steiner’s life, especially in relation to his artistic activity, which is, according to Brian’s interpretation, indicated in Steiner’s birth horoscope. David Tresemer offers deep insights into the qualities of certain degrees of the zodiacal signs. The monthly commentaries by Claudia McLaren Lainson and David Tresemer are supported by monthly astronomical previews provided by Sally Nurney and offer profound insights into the meaning of stellar configurations during the year 2011.

For more than 30 years, California has struggled to manage its water effectively. Today, California faces diverse and growing demands for water supply quality and reliability, flood protection, and ecosystem health. Current water policies have not kept up with these demands and crises are brewing, waiting for the next drought, flood, or lawsuit to bring widespread or local catastrophe.
This book outlines an ambitious reform agenda to help put California water management on a more constructive and hopeful path. Bringing together perspectives from biology, economics, engineering, geology, and the law, the authors describe how California s water can be managed more comprehensively and more flexibly for the benefit of the economy and the environment. The reforms proposed here will not be easy, but with bold leadership the state can develop a sustainable, long-term strategy for one of its most critical resources.

Journal for Star Wisdom 2014 includes articles of interest concerning star wisdom (Astrosophy), as well as a guide to the correspondences between stellar configurations during the life of Christ and those of today. This guide comprises a complete sidereal ephemeris and aspectarian, geocentric and heliocentric, for each day throughout the year. Published yearly, new editions are available beginning in October or November for the coming new year.According to Rudolf Steiner, every step taken by Christ during his ministry between the baptism in the Jordan and the resurrection was in harmony with―and an expression of―the cosmos. Journal for Star Wisdom 2014 is concerned with these heavenly correspondences during the life of Christ. It is intended to help provide a foundation for cosmic Christianity, the cosmic dimension of Christianity. It is this dimension that has been missing from Christianity in its two-thousand-year history. Readers can begin on this path by contemplating the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets against the background of the zodiacal constellations (sidereal signs) today in relation to corresponding stellar events during the life of Christ. In this way, the possibility is opened for attuning, in a living way, to the life of Christ in the etheric cosmos.This year’s journal presents an article by Robert Powell on the ancient prophecy concerning the coming of the Kalki Avatar and an article by Estelle Isaacson about the Bodhisattva who will become the Maitreya Buddha. David Tresemer provides four articles. The first examines corporate personhood and another is part 2 of his “Finding Jerusalem” series. He also takes a look at the controversial theme of the zodiac in “Zodiacs and Calendars”; finally, with Robert Schiappacsse, he wrote a short contribution on the Renaissance personalities Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola. William Bento’s article “Reuniting Psyche with Astro-Logos” offers important perspectives on the integration of cosmology with transpersonal psychology/anthroposophic psychology. There is also an article by Paul Marx, which looks at the evolutionary streams accompanying Christ’s descent into incarnation. Brian Gray contributed the article “Where on Earth is the Zodiac?” concerning his research into the relationship between the starry heavens and the earthly globe. The monthly commentaries for the year 2014 by Claudia McLaren Lainson are preceded by her article on Kashyapa in the light of Pentecost. Her commentaries are supported by monthly astronomical previews provided by Sally Nurney, which offer opportunities to physically observe and experience the stellar configurations during the year of 2014. This direct interaction between the human being on earth and the heavenly beings of the stars develops the capacity to receive their wisdom-filled teachings.
