This book looks at planetary retrogradation - the phenomenon of "wandering" planets. The book discusses and analyses the implications these planets may have on the human experience, dealing with each planet separately. Divided into three parts, it includes a brief history of retrograde, general attitudes towards the phenomenon and an overall discussion of retrogradation.

Dynasty shows us that astrology is the only system that demonstrates the complexities of the family as an organic whole; the family's place in the collective; and the role an individual plays in carrying on the ancestral line. Individuals in the family system are interwoven in a fabric which simultaneously both enhances and diminishes their individuality. To date there is no book dedicated to family patterns, the psychology of family dynamics, and family systems in natal astrology. Not only does this book fill a gap in astrological literature, it also adds an essential new dimension to the psychology of families and groups. The five personal case histories in Dynasty are life stories of Erin Sullivan's clients - she writes their stories with both compassion and accuracy, weaving together various methods of analysing and working with individuals and their families. There is 'Mohsin', the adopted man; a story of autism; a poignant story of a woman whose child rejected her in utero! (Freud had it half right!); and the compelling story of a woman who carries the whole of her ancestral line, a deeply moving tale which verifies our personal links to our own ancestors - links that defy linear time.

Dynasty: The Astrology of Family Dynamics (Contemporary Astrology)

From Shakespeare's Hamlet to Burton's Anatomy to Hilliard's miniatures, melancholy has long been associated with the emotional life of Renaissance England. But what other forms of sadness existed alongside, or even beyond, melancholy, and what kinds of selfhood did they help create? Beyond Melancholy explores the vital distinctions Renaissance writers made between grief, godly sorrow, despair, and melancholy, and the unique interactions these emotions were thought to produce in the mind, body, and soul. While most medical and philosophical writings emphasized the physiological and moral dangers of the "dis-ease" of sadness, warning that in its most extreme form it could damage the body and even cause death, new Protestant teachings about the nature of devotion and salvation suggested that sadness could in fact be a positive, even transformative, experience, helping to humble believers' souls and bring them closer to God. The result of such dramatically conflicting paradigms was a widespread ambiguity about the value of sadness and a need to clarify its significance through active and wilful interpretation--something this book calls "emotive improvisation." Drawing on a wide range of Renaissance medical, philosophical, religious, and literary texts--including, but not limited to, moral treatises on the passions, medical text books, mortality records, doctors' case notes, sermons, theological tracts, devotional and elegiac poetry, letters, life-writings, ballads, and stage-plays--Beyond Melancholy explores the emotional codes surrounding the experience of sadness and the way writers responded to and reinterpreted them. In doing so it demonstrates the value of working across source materials too often divided along disciplinary lines, and the special importance of literary texts to the study of the emotional past.

Erin Sullivan's latest book is a breakthrough both in astrology and psychology. The Astrology of Family Dynamics makes for gripping reading and shows us that astrology is the only system that demonstrates the complexities of the family as an organic whole, the family's place in the collective, and the role an individual plays in carrying on the ancestral line. To date there is no book dedicated to family patterns, the psychology of family dynamics, in natal astrology. Not only does this book fill a gap in astrological literature, it also adds an essential new dimension to the psychology of families and groups.

Geocentricity might well be egocentricity-the phenomenon of retrograde motion is based on our Earth-centered view of the solar system, but the movement and cycles of retrograde planets are based entirely on the apparent motion of the Sun through the zodiac. Sullivan organizes and explains retrograde motion from a systems-viewpoint-the system of the Sun and planets-and interprets retrograde planets natally, by progression, and in transit. 
Sullivan has interpreted these movements in a way that is immediately apparent and useful to both novice and professional astrologers, and provides both psychological and mundane interpretations of retrograde planets. This edition includes and index.

Reveals Saturn's useful and developmental influence in our lives. Erin Sullivan gives a thorough account of the astrology, mythology, and psychology of Saturn's role as the source of divine discontent. Saturn assists the modern hero and heroine, during its transit around the zodiac, by destroying the old and outmoded within, and throwing us periodically into chaos, which invariably generates a creative transformation of purpose in our lives.

The first in-depth analysis of how an individual's natal horoscope reveals the unique challenges and opportunities of midlife.Between the ages of thirty-seven and forty-one, something mysterious takes place within the psyche. Jung called this phase our "unlived life," assuming rightly that midlife did not inaugurate a time of rapid decay, loss of libido, and inevitable death—but rather ushered in a period in which one might review one's life and build upon a strong foundation toward the next phase of adulthood.
Acclaimed astrologer Erin Sullivan takes us through the vast changes that astrology reveals as we reach middle age. It is a moment in life that is characterized by the planet Uranus, one filled with opportunities to both rethink the past and move forward toward the future, "witnessing" our lives in the way Uranus connotes. There exist no maps of the terrain—except the natal horoscope.
