Explore the profound archetypal and psychological dimensions of the two luminaries — the Sun and the Moon — in The Luminaries, a foundational work from the founders of the Centre for Psychological Astrology.

This deeply insightful seminar-style book delves into how the Sun and Moon operate in the natal chart:
✨ The Moon as a central symbol of emotion, instinct, and relational patterns
✨ The Sun as a representation of consciousness, personal identity, and life purpose
✨ A dedicated chapter on the lunation cycle, exploring its mythic and psychological implications

Written in a rich, metaphorical style, Greene and Sasportas combine myth, depth psychology, and astrological theory to make the luminaries feel alive and personal. Their approach is deeply resonant for readers interested in both astrology and inner development.
