Editorial Review:
Prometheus the Awakener is considered by many to be one of the finest astrological essays ever written. It has also been much praised by depth psychologists for its precise linking of an archetypal perspective in biography and history to the macrocosm of planetary movements, providing an invaluable new bridge between astrology and psychology. Widely referred to in other astrological writings, earlier partial versions of this essay have been published in numerous journals in both Europe and the U.S. It is offered here in a single volume, including an afterword as well as an updated preface.

Rating:  - Rename that planet!
Richard Tarnas's PROMETHEUS THE AWAKENER basically says that the planet Uranus should have been named Prometheus and why. Tarnas will get no argument from me. He lays out his case very clearly with lots of good examples. Especially valuable to me was his explanation of the various archetypal meanings of the planets. I would like to memorize the opening chapter and be able to spout it at will when I am trying to explain to people who know nothing about astrology what I mean when I say "Mars," ... Read More

The study of astrology suffers from so much superficiality that most people would never even consider it to hold significant universal truths. Despite all the rather banal treatments in the media, there are just too many people who do not realize what a powerful tool it can be in helping us to evolve a more coherent picture of not only ourselves but of the world we live in.

Rating: - Prometheus the awakener: an essay on the archetypal meaning of the planet Uranus
Very interesting, statistical and historical essay... a new way of seeing Uranus... and a more accurate too!! I imagine what a conmotion it must have raised at the time when he first put up his new idea of Uranus being Prometheus instead of Urano, the first and never again mencioned god ;-)
Rating: - Fire of the Divine
With his new book Prometheus the Awakener: An Essay on the Archetypal Meaning of the Planet Uranus Richard Tarnas has created a stunning synthesis of archetypal astrology, history, and spiritual psychology. Reading this work one feels graced with expanded horizons, the sudden rediscovery of a conscious universe. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for meaning in their lives or in the world at large.
Tarnas believes that the first seven bodies of the solar system were given archetypally ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent
I am a professional consulting astrologer, researcher and astrology teacher, and find this book to be among the finest astrology works in my collection. It takes astrology into the world of transpersonal psychology, history, biography, and archetypal mythology -- and yet it's easy, a breeze to read. Richard's writing is clear, excellent, intellectually sound; this book will get you thinking, and get you understanding how to work with the planet Uranus. I also recommend books on Chiron if you are interested ... Read More
