Based on the author’s comprehensive video course on star wisdom (astrosophy), this book presents a thorough introduction to star wisdom as inaugurated by the spiritual philosopher Rudolf Steiner and the pioneer of astrosophy Willi Sucher, whose work and methods Jonathan Hilton has studied, practiced, and developed for many years.
Beginning with the basics, Hilton takes the reader through an introductory course on astrosophy—from understanding and working with the zodiac and planetary spheres to actual chart construction and to the spiritual significance and deeper meaning behind practical astrosophy and its potential for one’s own inner development. In the process, he also brings a historical perspective and carefully draws important distinctions between today’s popular astrology and the esoteric basis for an approach to star wisdom as viewed and developed through spiritual science.
Also included in this course on astrosophy are numerous statements from the works of Rudolf Steiner on our human relationship to the stars, zodiac, and cosmos.
This is an essential guide for anyone who wants to begin a study of this discipline and spiritual path through the stars.
Liberally illustrated with more than seventy color and black-and-white images.
Jonathan Hilton met Willi Sucher at a workshop in Meadow Vista, California, in 1976. Jonathan requested private study with him, and the following year went to live and study in his home for a month. They continued their study and correspondence until Sucher’s death in 1985. Jonathan served on the Board of the Astrosophy Research Center from 1992 to 2018 and served twice as President of the New York City Anthroposophical Society. Since retiring from his career as Executive Director of a nonprofit providing therapeutic arts programs for trauma survivors, he has been able to dedicate much of his time to the work of astrosophy.
