The following excerpts give you an idea of the caliber of Dr. Adler perceptions as they pertain to the theme of Sequence Two - the Zodiac. You will learn about ... "... The realm of man's being rooted in Earth, the test of his individual being against the resistance of the earth-matter by the significance of the distribution of the Zodiac-sections, and planets above and below the horizon, for the individual's development on Earth: the cast-shadow of the Zodiacal man on Earth, and the summary of tasks of his earthly work, whose fruit he incorporates into his wandering "ego" -- man's fate, in its widest meaning."" ... The astrologer aims to seize that human nucleus, swinging freely between Earth and the world of the stars, to study him, his terrestrial shadow and the heavenly light into whose realm he has stepped. The houses are the place for man's Self-probation; where he gains the powers of self-knowledge, of correcting and extending his development. From such knowledge, a blessing can issue forth. Its power will not be exhausted as long as belief in the divinity of the true human core does not vanish.""The Zodiac and its impulses for human development, prototypes of character formation, concerning the general undimmed human image, correspond to the 12 sections of the Zodiac and the development of 12 types of people. The planetary world in connection with the Zodiac forms the total possibilities for an individual: whether favorably or unfavorably."This Sequence prepares the way for Sequences 3 through 7 (aka Volumes 3 through 7), also available.
