A metaphysical, astrological perspective on the symbols, functions, and essences of the planets of the solar system. How to use the esoteric layer of astrological symbolism when reading a natal chart for spiritual self-work.

Living in illusion is meaningless, but the path to enlightenment is too painful—that is the tragedy of human existence. Yet esoteric thought can only be truly understood by dedicating oneself to it with one's whole being. Quotes and dogmas will not help here.

Metaphysical astrology is the only science—among all exact, esoteric, and non-esoteric sciences—that offers complete, thorough and truthful knowledge about the human being and their karmic program. Esoteric astrology reveals to man the path of self-knowledge—a path whose ultimate aim is the realization of the true self through the experience of inner light.

One must have the courage to step out of the comfort zone, to recognize that the mind is a vast magical power, and that it is never too late to evolve. Neither our age nor our past matters. What is essential is to know that spiritual perfection grants power over the physical world. This knowledge is a reward in itself, and it is a deep desire of the heart that drives a person to seek it—a calling from the heart that could be satisfied by nothing else.

I hope this book will be a guide to you on that long and fascinating journey.
