Alchemical Tantric Astrology

“Frederick Hamilton Baker’s original, innovative chart design and planetary pairing bring in new correlations that deepen and expand astrological awareness. I recommend this book for seasoned astrologers and beginners.” * Esther Frances, eco-astrologer, singer, songwriter, and creator of Earthartistry: Elementary Arts an *“An original contribution and an innovative guide that illuminates significant and heretofore hidden dimensions of astrological theory and practice.” * Phillip Charles Lucas, Ph.D., professor of religious studies at Stetson University *“Alchemical Tantric Astrology is a profound marriage of three sets of symbols. They all come together as the serpent fully uncoils at the crown, unveiled by the Moon’s nodes. Hermes’s signposts on the way to self-realization light them up as never before! Creative and original–not to be missed!” * Michael Burton, Ph.D., licensed acupuncturist and licensed astrological counselor *“A unique and useful integration of cosmology, chakras and metals, spiritual yoga, and meditations.” * Pratibha Gramann, Ph.D., transcendental psychologist, scholar, yoga therapist, and ayurveda educator *“Frederick Baker’s wit and scholarly approach emboss a brilliant and highly original formation that holds great promise for all students of astrology and yoga.” * Nancy Kurtz, astrologer *“Speaking in symbols we discuss a shared truth that is deeper than words can describe. When we can see solid, clear intersections across symbolic systems, we see truths deeper than any system alone could say. Frederick Baker has given us this, through his blessed lifelong focus, a new weave of our oldest views of the ‘beyond verbal,’ weaving those shared beauties into a yet deeper view of our reality.” * Michael Bartlow, pianist, composer, and writer *“Baker’s flowing contemplation of the alchemical qualities of the signs and planetary archetypes in the dynamic river of kundalini rising astounds me. It is magnificent! Alchemical Tantric Astrology activates your subtle energy centers–chakras–while you are reading it. His brilliant integration of the most complex pathways of human subtle perception is very simple and clear. It is the beginning of a new astrological paradigm–astrology rising to its full alchemical potential. This is a must-read for all astrologers and those seeking spiritual illumination. Alchemical Tantric Astrology is the astrology of the Age of Aquarius because it is sourced in traditional astrology expanded to the very recent discoveries of Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, and Eris since 1781. Bravo! Your AstroYoga Meditation is a rocket booster!” * Barbara Hand Clow, author of Astrology and the Rising of Kundalini *“Baker’s perspective, stemming from years as a researcher and practitioner of these arts, certainly bolsters the knowledge on these subjects and integrate them in a way that can be practically applied in one’s life for energetic attunement with the zodiacal energy. He has a way of sharing his wisdom that makes it easily accessible to readers, both logically and intuitively. There is plenty of information for readers to gain from Alchemical Tantric Astrology, and it is a wonderful book for readers to become acquainted with Hermetic Astrology.” * Alanna Kali, Musing Mystical *
