How can you take a tour of the counting numbers, each in turn, and yet have the sense that you have been exploring the very nonlinear reaches of a fractal galaxy? Yes we begin at 0, and yes, we progress linearly through 9, but this as a framework for a very nonlinear, enlightening and sometimes breathtaking journey through the landscape of humanness.

Today numbers are understood only in the scientific sense as measure of quantity but at one time, they were conceived very differently as visceral archetypal gateways through which creative forces at work within the embodied world could be glimpsed, accessed and harnessed with the power of focused intention. Part One of this two-volume set explores this archetypal sense of number, using the extant teachings of Pythagoras as a point of departure for an eclectic discussion of our collective psychology, the evolution of consciousness, and the anima mundi at the heart of the world.
Using The Theology of Arithmetic by Imablichus (translated by Robin Waterfield) as a primary source and point of departure, Astrology and the Archetypal Power of Numbers aims to give a visceral sense of number in a qualitative sense, weaving together a collage of ideas from mythology, cutting-edge science, history, politics, and personal experience.
Building upon the astro-logic of the chakras, introduced in Tracking the Soul With An Astrology of Consciousness, this new book shows how an integration of the chakras is implicated in our collective evolution.
Astrology and the Archetypal Power of Numbers explores how number is 'pre-existent to consciousness' – encoded in our collective psychology as human beings, and in the construction of the universe of which we are conscious. The more deeply we go into this great mystery, the more apparent it becomes that not only does the world shape us into becoming who we think we are, but that as we participate consciously within the world, we help shape the animus mundi, or soul of the world.
This book will be published in two volumes. Part One (A Contemporary Reformulation of Pythagorean Number Theory) is a meandering exploration of the extant teachings of Pythagoras about number. Part Two (The Construction of the Birthchart by Number) is an explanation of how this Pythagorean sense of number is reflected astrologically, both in moments of historical significance and in the birthcharts and lives of individuals who have changed the course of history.
