Between Past & Presence


Between Past & Presence: A Spiritual View of the Moon & Sun, is an astrology book written at an advanced-beginner to intermediate level for a general audience. This book addresses the relationship between the Moon and Sun and the relevance to spiritual growth. Through exploring signs, houses, aspects, rulerships, nodes, cycles and eclipses, a new paradigm of the luminaries is offered. In short, spiritual growth is furthered by integrating awareness and vitality (Sun) into the depths of the unconscious (Moon). By resolving the past (Moon), we are able to be fully in the present (Sun).

"Astrology is eternal, but human culture is endlessly re-inventing itself. For astrology to continue to be meaningful, its metaphors must evolve and adapt. Thus, the author's dilemma: how to say old truth in a new way, without spurious, ungrounded invention. In this wonderful book, Eric Meyers rises to this challenge. His subject is the well-trodden astrological bedrock of Sun and Moon and their age-old dance. But he brings these old lovers to life again with his fresh thought, evident soul-experience and delightful prose."
Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky

"Eric Meyers pays homage to the two great luminaries in the sky - the Moon and Sun, shining his own inner light understanding upon their role in the spiritual development of the individual. Eric has established himself as one of the new bright stars of the emerging young astrologers. A heartfelt and insightful contribution."
Demetra George, Asteroid Goddesses

"A fresh and useful analysis of the brightest lights in the sky. Oftentimes it is easy to overlook what is most obvious, sometimes it's worth an in-depth review. Between Past & Presence is a highly rewarding guided tour through the astrological Moon and Sun, bringing new persectives to very familiar territory. The structure of the book is unique, the writing clear, and the information presented can help anyone - beginner to professional - in being a better astrologer."

The Arrow's Ascent: Astrology and the Quest for Meaning

This book is an ambitious, unconventional, inspiring journey through the astrological system and our inherent connection to nature. Filled with original ideas, it challenges the reader to integrate astrology with other modes of knowing --physics, transpersonal psychology, the perennial philosophy and many wisdom traditions. It presents new information on the elements, offers a new philosophical organization to understand astrology's reach and depth and includes ideas of how and why astrology works. This book is challenging at times and is most suited for intermediate to advanced students that have some background in science and philosophy.

"No art or science is ultimately as all-embracing as astrology, which weaves the warp of astronomy onto the weft of psychology on the loom of metaphysics. It takes a true renaissance mind to embrace the whole system, and it takes a clear-minded poet to get the synthesis across to a reader. Eric Meyers embodies all those virtues. I heartily recommend his book, The Arrow's Ascent." Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky

"Eric Meyers is a young astrologer with an open and lucid mind; he has written a wonderful book that is simple yet complex. The simplicity is a product of his clear writing, whereas the ideas he presents are complex. Meyers sees astrology as a way to describe the multifaceted and interconnected world we inhabit, astrology can be experienced in all levels of our world - it is literal and symbolic, both an art and a science. Creative ideas abound in this book, represented, for example, by the author's views on the elements, the mutable signs and his belief that astrology can inspire and support evolutionary growth in the individual and society."
Mary Plumb, The Mountain Astrologer

"Selling serious astrology books isn't easy. I think that most astrology students are looking for finite answers, rather than better questions. Your book is the thoughtful kind I appreciate, one that is not at all dogmatic. While astrology might be a means of inquiry for some of us, much of its tradition is about providing answers, something that tends to limit thought, rather than expand it. But, keep the faith. You may still be a young Rudhyar who will write many books and slowly gain the attention and respect you deserve."
