“We honor those who have come before us, and must give special recognition to Jerzy Grotowski, one of my own teachers, who originated the term paratheatrical two and a half decades ago. We must also honor those who continue in this lineage and take on the task of transmission. And transmission is what this book is all about.” -- from the foreward by MATT MITLER, Director of Theatre Group Dzieci, NYC

Revised and updated since its first 1990 edition, ASTROLOGIK is an excellent primer for interpreting one's own horoscope while sparking new ideas for more seasoned astrologers. Alli's reframing of the Planets as "forces", Houses as "states" and Signs as "styles" infuses the language with imagination and fresh insight.
