Zodiacal Releasing: Timing the Chapters of a Life

A birth chart reading describes the structure of a life. It shows the condition of the planets, the areas of life they influence and the themes that are likely to emerge over time. What the chart alone does not immediately reveal is when those themes will become active. Astrology developed a number of timing techniques to address this question, and among the most powerful of these is a method known as zodiacal releasing. Zodiacal releasing is a system that divides life into chapters,...
