About the author
Darby Costello writes on astrology for Raven Dreams Press, with titles here including Earth and Air: The Astrological Elements Book 2 and The Astrological Moon. Earth and Air is drawn from lectures given for the Centre for Psychological Astrology and works through the elements of earth and air as they appear in the birth chart, while The Astrological Moon compiles edited seminar transcriptions on the Moon's phases and its relationship to the natal Sun across the signs and houses. Both books grew out of spoken lectures and retain a discursive, teaching tone rather than a reference format, aimed at astrology students who already have a working knowledge of chart interpretation. Costello's work sits within the psychological astrology tradition associated with the CPA, emphasizing symbolic and psychological reading of the chart over predictive technique.
