Author Dusty Bunker writes: "It was when I was contemplating the 'most sacred symbols' of the Egyptians -- the sacred bowls of 72 degrees and 108 degrees -- that a series of revelations hit me." In Quintiles and Tredeciles she explores the little-known 72-degree and 108-degree aspects and explains their cosmic significance in the individual chart. The true meaning of these aspects was said to have been known only to initiates of the Chaldean mysteries. A number analyst and astrologer, Ms. Bunker describes her "journey" to this important discovery in a warm and engaging style, taking the reader by the hand as she goes. The numerological and astrological relevance of quintiles and tredeciles unfolds in four chapters and a wealth of diagrams and charts. Historical details on the meanings of numbers -- taken from numerology; sacred geometry; masonic, religious, and Egyptian symbology; and astrology -- transport the reader to times when numbers did not simply designate quantities but were an "extreme reduction of philosophic thought" and "concrete definitions of energetic formative principles of nature." Birth charts for forty noted personalities from the worlds of the arts, business, politics, science, sports, and other areas provide valuable data and interesting insights. This fascinating work is necessary reading for novice and experienced astrologers and provides a wonderful and tempting introduction to those with a budding interest in astrology and numerology. Dusty Bunker, well-known authority on numerology and astrology, has written extensively on these topics. Her other books include Numerology and Your Future; Numerology, Astrology and Dreams; Birthday Numerology (with Victoria Knowles); and Numerology and the Divine Triangle (with Faith Javane).
