Produktbeschreibung
In The Pattern of Time Andrew McDonald explores the intertwining of destiny and freewill and the perennial search for understanding that runs through all our lives. In separate chapters, using many techniques known only to traditional natal astrology, Andrew looks at the lives of the great artists Michelangelo, van Gogh, and Renoir. He also analyses the mysterious Forge of Vulcan by Diego Velázquez and considers what this painting can tell us about the true nature of romantic relationships. Musician Claude Debussy is part of the chapter Fate, Freewill, Fortuna and the Soul where Andrew discusses the history of chance and fortune and explains how our understanding of freewill, necessity, and the soul affect the pathways we choose in life. From his professional practice are real-life case studies where he uses horary astrology to help clients find and keep work. Other chapters include the Colour of the Spheres, the Nativity of a Lady, and Act and Potency where Andrew explores the nature of change in the world and explains what we can do to understand it more. There is even a chapter on the Epiphany. Informed by years of professional practice, profusely illustrated with charts and with a Foreword by John Frawley, The Pattern of Time is a window into traditional astrology like no other.
Autorenporträt
Andrew McDonald was born in the English city of Coventry in 1970. From an early age, Andrew loved books and would spend hours sitting reading and writing, creating new worlds and people. But, he never pursued a literary career electing to leave school and seek employment rather than continue with his studies and go to college. In 1991, his life changed forever as he met his future wife: Mary and together they went on to get married and have four beautiful daughters. He would spend the next few years going from one job to another whilst supporting his family. Along the way he never stopped dreaming of writing and would create short stories to tell his children to entertain them. It would be in 2013, that his life would change and the birth of his first granddaughter saw him make to decision to turn a past time into a career. His love of science-fiction and in particular Doctor Who that saw him write his first feature length title and although it never got published, it gave him the confidence to continue. He was commissioned to write two short stories for a Doctor Who project in 2015 which ultimately never got published. Following these two horror stories were completed and although a lot of interest was generated by these, neither title was published. Despite all of this, with each rejection letter he continued believing in his dream. In 2016, he would publish his second full length story Rain through Amazon publishing and in 2018 School for Apes became his first release through an established publishing company. Andrew McDonald still lives in Coventry with his wife and family where he writes and dreams.
