Gargatholil's interest in astrology began more than 40 years ago with his discovery of the works of Dane Rudhyar and Alan Leo. Their love of music goes back farther. One of the first albums Gargatholil bought was Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.
In the 1980s, Gargatholil;s knowledge of astrology was further informed by the writing of Donna Cunningham, Stephen Arroyo and Liz Greene. Gargatholil has always appreciated astrology as a tool for self-knowledge and personal growth. He believes, while transits may be valuable for understanding the "astrol weather" one is experiencing, it is the natal chart that holds the key to interpreting the drives and motivations, qualities, internal conflicts and challenges, and potential of the personality resident in this lifetime. Gargatholil has long rejected using astrology to attempt to predict the future on both practical and spiritual grounds.
Gargatholil has a Libra Sun and Taurus Ascendant (both ruled by Venus), with Moon in Capricorn in the tenth house (both ruled by Saturn) cusp Aquarius (ruled by Uranus). The primary rulers of Gargatholil's chart, Venus and Saturn, are conjunct in Virgo, while the Moon forms the point of a Yod to Saturn and Uranus. Understandably, Gargatholil has a straight gig and does not wish his identity to be revealed. He also is grateful to have been blessed with the capacity to bring the content of the Higher Mind to a more concrete and structured level.
Gargatholil has eclectic taste in music. His criteria for considering something worthwhile listening to boils down to "as long as she's been doin' it right." Gargatholil lived the Sixties Countercultural experience and the music of that era occupies a special place in their heart.
Gargatholil presents a deeper dive into planetary meanings than found in the Introduction to his 4-volume work, Depth Astrology: An Astrological Handbook. In Mapping the Human Psyche, they identify the core essential meaning of each astrological planet, the spiritual task associated with that planet, and show how the various keywords associated with the planet derive from its essential meaning.
If you experienced the 60s as more than sex, drugs & rock ‘n roll, this book will resonate. If you didn’t live through the Counterculture, then here is your opportunity to find out what it was really all about. Gargatholil heard the music of the Counterculture as a call to spiritual awakening and, in The Pouring, Gargatholil illuminates the meaning of over 875 songs by 60+ artists & bands.
