About the author
Phoebe Wyss is the author of two books that apply astrology to broader questions of myth and spiritual development. "Inside the Cosmic Mind: Archetypal Astrology and the New Cosmology," published by Floris Books, surveys the classical roots of astrology, tracing sources back to ancient Egyptian tradition before situating the practice within the more recent framework known as archetypal cosmology. "Hercules' Labours," from Tree Tongue, follows the twelve labours of Hercules as an extended allegory for stages of spiritual growth, building on the tradition of Alice Bailey's esoteric astrology and interpreting each labour through astrological symbolism. Wyss writes as a working astrologer rather than an academic historian, and both books assume some existing familiarity with astrological concepts, making them better suited to readers who already have a grounding in the subject than to complete beginners.
