More Description

Astrology and geopolitics may seem strange bedfellows, but Soul-Sick Nation puts the two together in a masterful hybrid to provide a perspective as extraordinary as the times we are living in. Using the principles of ancient wisdom to make sense of the current global situation, this keenly intelligent book elucidates the meaning of an epoch in distress and proposes a path towards healing.Soul-Sick Nation is neither a conventional astrology book nor a standard-issue political commentary. With clear, accessible language and a thorough appendix, the book requires no previous knowledge of astrology. Using the vocabularies of astrology and Jungian psychology, Murray invites the reader to consider critical contemporary issues with a perspective that reaches far beyond partisanship and provincialism, piercing through the confusion and labeling that keeps so much of America's cultural discourse unimaginative and unhelpful.In Soul-Sick Nation Murray offers an in-depth analysis of America's essential destiny -- uncovering, chapter by chapter, the greater purpose motivating this group soul. With a rare blend of compassion, humor and fearless taboo-busting, she decodes current astrological transits that express the key themes the USA must learn in this period of millennial crisis, including that of the responsibility of power.Using a cosmic perspective to make sense of this fateful historic threshold, Soul-Sick Nation explains how each of us can come to terms with the world moment; and arrive at a response that is unique and creative. This book will leave you shorn of illusions and full of hope.
