Eric has developed a unique voice in spiritually oriented astrology.
The Mountain Astrologer says that Eric's work, "has a surprising
freshness, depth, and level of wisdom that firmly establishes the
author as an important emerging voice in the Pluto in Virgo generation
of astrologers. He is not afraid to write from his heart while tackling
challenging subjects like karma, soul growth, consciousness, nonduality,
and free will. He has the ability to breathe new life into old concepts
and paradigms."
With a background in transpersonal psychology, Eric is most interested
in bringing a transpersonal (meaning "beyond the personal"
or spiritual) perspective to astrology. He has a particular emphasis
on the process of spiritual awakening, how we can grow to realize
our soul connection with all of life. His books present new ideas
and original approaches within this non-denominational spiritual
context. Many people complain that there is little new in astrology
books, and many note how repetitious and formulaic many can be.
Eric's goal is help establish a new, more authentic and thought-provoking
wave of astrology books for a 21st Century audience.
Elements & Evolution is the best example of Eric's work -- it's the most recent, best written, with the greatest potential impact in the field. Here's a few thoughts in terms of deciding which of Eric's other books to purchase. Between Past & Presence is the most basic, very appropriate for beginners interested in a spiritual context of the Moon and Sun. It is also suitable for more advanced astrologers who are interested or curious about a new perspective in seeing the luminaries. It addresses the Moon and Sun in terms of the awakening process. The focus is on how the reconciliation of the past (Moon) allows us to consciously embrace the present (Sun) -- how we liberate from our egoic tendencies into our higher selves. Uranus is more specialized and ambitious, most suitable for readers with some background in astrology. It goes in-depth with the revolutionary planet like no other book out there. We are in the midst of a very Uranian time frame. This book can serve as your guide to understand and navigate the great changes ahead. The Arrow's Ascent is the least accessible and only for those who want something very different. It was written to contrast with the cookbook astrology out there. Eric wanted to be as Uranian as possible! This book is no longer in active circulation, but some inventory remains. The Elements book updates and refines much of the material.
These books are available in other places, but if you buy directly from Soul Vision, Eric will sign your copy. Thank you for supporting the creator of these works.

Uranus:
The Constant of Change (2008) addresses the revolutionary
planet at personal, social, and transpersonal levels. Included
are sections on Uranus in aspect to planets and in signs, Uranian
individuals, Uranian events, and cycles with the other planets.
There is extended discussion about current Uranian activity: The
Uranus/Saturn opposition and the applying Uranus/Pluto square.
The transpersonal chapters address the spiritual implications
of Uranus like no other astrology book has done. Seen as the metaphysical
structure that envelops us and the "intelligence of nature," the
Uranian matrix is the behind-the-scenes coordinator of our spiritual
growth. How we align with the matrix, develop non-attachment,
partner with reality (Saturn), and much more, is all thoroughly
discussed. The concluding section 'Uranian Wisdom and Paradoxes,'
illustrates how, at the Uranian perspective, reality is turned
upside-down!
Between
Past & Presence: A Spiritual View of the Moon & Sun (2006)
is an astrology book written at an advanced-beginner to intermediate
level. It addresses the relationship between the Moon and Sun
and their 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).
The
Arrow's Ascent: Astrology & The Quest for Meaning (2004)
) is no longer in active circulation. This book is extremely
experimental and uncoventional. Written in the wake of 9/11
and divorce, this was Eric's initiation into being a writer,
and it was written from a very personal place. Though there
is a wealth of interesting and creative ideas, it is not accessible
for a wide audience. The frutis from writing this book (particularly
the content on the Elements) have gone into later works. If
you are interested in seeing the origins of Eric ideas, this
book may be of interest (if you want to struggle through it!)
Contact Eric directly if you want to purchase it -- some inventory
remains. The price is $35.
