The Celestial Abodes Along the apparent path of the Sun (the Ecliptic), the stars were grouped since ancient times into constellations depicting men, animals, and mythological figures, each bearing stories and deeds that reflected the interaction between the sky and the Earth. Later, towards the middle of the first millennium BC, skywatchers divided this path into twelve perfectly equal sections: the Signs of the Zodiac , the 'circle that brings life' or Zodiakos Kyklos .

Leaving behind the superficiality of common knowledge and popular interpretations on the subject, Giuseppe Bezza draws on his profound expertise to enable an interpretation that transcends character analysis. His approach allows for the deciphering not only of human characteristics and activities (psychology, destiny, potential), but also extends this deciphering to all aspects of nature and life : health and disease, the properties of stones and metals, the virtues and uses of plants, but also connections with myth, literature, and the arts.

A Chorus of Wise Men: The Forgotten Tradition

A distinctive and historically valuable element of ' The Celestial Dwellings ' is the inclusion of astrology's forgotten voices. In these pages, astrology returns to being a chorus of diverse scholars who, over the centuries, have contributed to shaping this celestial science:

• Greek and Roman scholars of the classical age.

• Arab and Jewish scholars of the Middle Ages, who preserved and developed astrological knowledge.

• Indian Thinkers (Jyotish) and Central Figures of the Renaissance .

Bezza pays homage to these unjustly forgotten masters, bringing to light writings that often reveal unexpected qualities of humanity, philosophical rigor, and expressive freshness . The reader is invited to engage with a rich and complex tradition that has influenced Western philosophy, medicine, and cosmology for millennia.

The Zodiac as an Archetypal and Spiritual Map

The heart of the book is an in-depth exploration of the world of the zodiac, interpreting the astrological signs not simply as astral symbols linked to prediction, but as true archetypes rich in spiritual meanings and transformative potential.

Bezza offers a reading of the zodiac that goes beyond mere astrological prediction, inviting the reader to connect with the profound symbolic and spiritual roots of each sign.

The book is structured to explore each zodiac sign as a 'Celestial Home' , a key concept in traditional astrology:

1. Symbolic Place: Each Abode is a symbolic receptacle that collects and reflects specific cosmic and archetypal energies .

2. Doorway to Understanding: Each sign is seen as a 'doorway' to a deeper understanding of our life journey and the role we play in the grand universal scheme.

3. Manifestation of Forces: It is the place where the universal forces that cyclically guide human and natural life manifest themselves.

The author analyses each sign in detail not only in relation to the psychological and character aspects (basic astrology), but also to its deep connections with mythology , philosophy , spirituality and religion .

The High Dimension of the Zodiac Signs

In particular, Bezza emphasizes that the zodiac signs shouldn't be seen as simple static labels to apply to one's personality. Instead, they possess a higher dimension that is directly connected to the search for balance between the individual and the cosmos (the Hermetic principle of "as above, so below").

• Phases of the Life Cycle: Each sign represents an essential phase of the universal life cycle , a precise stage in our inner development and the manifestation of consciousness.

• Growth Path: Through a deep understanding of its symbols and correspondences, it is possible to undertake an effective path of personal growth and self-realization .

Using erudite yet engaging language rich in cultural references , Bezza provides the reader with much more than an astrological guide. He offers a genuine reflection on the importance of recognizing and integrating with the universal energies that each Celestial Abode represents.
