Synopsis
Astrology has been open to criticism through a large part of its long history. In this groundbreaking book Bernadette Brady gives new insights in the intensity of these criticisms by placing astrology into its initial setting, its original world of ancient creation myths linked to the great creative void. Modern chaos theory has now rediscovered this void and Brady maps astrology to chaos theory to produce "chaotic astrology". The result is an insight into fate, freewill and the nature of astrology itself implying that it is neither a science nor a religion, and suggests instead that astrology is an instrument of chaos, a fertile and pragmatic tool for understanding the patterns of life. Original and insightful as ever, Brady navigates the reader through a breath-taking journey which can change forever the way one views the world.

Customer Reviews

Good but not entirely original
I'm very happy to see astrology being discussed in the light of Chaos Theory, but this work is not entirely original as the author claims. The ideas promoted here, including those to do with astrology, chaos, fate and freewill, have been in circulation for some years and do not originate with the author; many have been previously published on the internet and in the NCGR Journal Spring 1999, for example. Please give credit where credit is due.

Brilliant Fragments
Bernadette Brady is one of the most intelligent and interesting astrologers around today. This book sees her investigating the potential for chaos & complexity theory to serve as an explanatory context for astrology. The book doesn't provide a complete explanation, but it does include many great points about astrological theory and practice. (This is the short version - for more detail see my review on skyscript.co.uk) So I've deducted a star because this book doesn't cover all the ground you might expect it to; but on the plus side, there is a wealth of thought-provoking material here.
