The Ruby Heart of the Dragon is a complete overhaul of the zodiac, which tears down astrology clichés, and updates the twelve signs for our complex and changing times. Mark Borax, who created Soul Level Astrology in 1987, introduces each sign as a transformative journey from self-ignorance to self-actualization, which he dramatizes as seductively as a travel writer. Drawing upon more than thirty-five years of depth counseling others through his astrology of the soul, and upon his wild wandering life, Mark explodes Sun-sign clichés to present a wholly original take on the zodiac. The Ruby Heart  is part exposé/part travel narrative, which blends a dash of memoir into the author's revision of the twelve-part art of being human. A table in the back of the book enables you to identify the 3 Points of the Dragon in your own life: your Ruby Heart, which is your Sun sign, the Dragon's Tail, which is the sign you're leaving behind, and the Dragon's Head, the sign you're heading towards. Offering provocative new insights of love, sex and consciousness, The Ruby Heart of the Dragon reveals the stories under the stories, which contain questions and issues each sign must resolve to set its dragon free. ...beautifully written...full of meticulous knowledge of astrology, the zodiac, and the human spirit.
