In this famous guidebook for the advanced student, Dane Rudhyar, late dean ofAmerican astrologers, speaks of the crisis facing astrology today -- a crisiscaused by the vast growth of interest in this ancient science.

Modern students hope to find in astrology not only answers to personalquestions, but even more, some sort of inner security.  They want to knowwhere they "belong," who they "really are."  As Rudhyartells us in The Astrology of Personality, the first and immediate purposeof astrology is not to predict events in terms of statistical probability, butto bring confused, eager, often distraught person a message of order, of"form," of the meaning of individual life and struggles - to transformchaos into cosmos, collective human nature into individual and creativepersonality.

Presenting astrology as "a system of coherent symbolism," Rudhyaruses many of the same concepts expressed in Oriental philosophy (particularlythe concept of change and the concept of opposites embodied in the I Ching),along with modern psychological theories, to demonstrate how the ancient scienceof astrology and modern psychology complement each other in providing us with atechnique for personal fulfillment.
