The Astrology of Indigos, Everyday Solutions to Spiritual Difficulties

The Astrology of Indigos describes the unique Astrological phenomena that occurred during the late 1970's to the early 2000's. This is something that won't be repeated again for another 170 years. The people born during this configuration, commonly called 'Indigo Children' possess an unusual natal birth chart shape. It is this phenomena that astrologer Mary English explores in her book The Astrology of Indigos. She brings light to those caught in their internal quest to find their 'Life Purpose' and explains how this can be achieved easily using a free on-line Astrological resource. There is information on how Homeopathy and other Alternative Resources can help if you're feeling stuck or at a loss.

According to Tarnas, acclaimed author of The Passion of the Western Mind, history is on the verge of a major shift, comparable to the one wrought by Copernicus and Galileo, but a seemingly antiscientific one: an astrological turn that can only be understood thorough chronicling planetary alignments as they correlate to the rise of the modern mind over the last 500 years. Understanding planetary alignments, for Tarnas, is crucial to the world's future and requires "a genuine dialogue" with the cosmos, by "opening ourselves more fully" to "the other," to ancient and indigenous epistemologies, even "to other forms of life, other modes of the universe's self-disclosure." Filled with philosophical, religious, literary and scientific thinking ranging from Luther and Kepler through Hemingway and even Hitchcock and Dylan, Tarnas's book is not only sweeping in subject but dense and sometimes painfully slow going. It requires at once a strong background in the history of modern thought, an advanced knowledge of astrology, a willingness to withhold skepticism about the role of planetary alignments of the past in understanding life today and the avoidance of imminent world catastrophe. Tarnas's call to redefine what we consider as "legitimate knowledge" will resonate in some sectors, but it will be a tough sell with the more scientifically hardheaded.

The Indigo Child is a child who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes that reveal a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. This pattern has common yet unique factors that demand that parents and teachers change their treatment and upbringing of them in order to achieve balance. To ignore these new patterns is to potentially create great frustration in the minds of these precious new lives. Can we really be seeing human evolution in the kids today? Are they smarter? Why do so many of our children today seem to be "system busters"? Why are they committing suicide and killing each other? Why are so many of our best children being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder( ADD)? Are all of them really ADD kids...in need of being drugged, or is there more to this story? Join international authors and lecturers Lee Carroll and Jan Tober as they bring together some very fine minds to discuss and expose this exciting premise. Many alternate methods of treating ADD are presented, and you won't believe some of the spiritual aspects of this study! These children are very different, and represent a great percentage of all the children being born today...worldwide. They come in "knowing" who they are, and must be recognized and celebrated with the correct guidance. This book is a must for parents!" Geek, Sagittarius, liberal or conservative, dyslexic, jock -- these are labels which define and identify us. They give us a place to belong and a way to relate to those who like the same things we do. In the 1970's Nancy Tappe identified a new group of children being born as Indigo, a term which has rapidly spread around the world ever since. Today Nancy speaks out for these remarkable individuals who are bringing the winds of change to every level of society and culture. Who are Indigos? What are they like today, nearly 40 years later? Indigos are globalizing the planet. Their consciousness is accelerating the demise of outworn institutions and is bringing about the so-called "Twitter revolutions" in political regimes such as those in Egypt and Libya. How has that happened? What are they doing? How are they doing it? What is it like to be Indigo? What has it been like to watch them grow and develop? The Quiet Storm is the crowning achievement of Nancy Tappe's work with human existence and how it plays out in the individual personality. Her legacy for tomorrow clarifies the label she began 40 years ago and promises an explanation of the Indigo mindset and potential.
