{"product_id":"9781583948989","title":"Pluto: New Horizons for a Lost Horizon: Astronomy, Astrology, and Mythology","description":"Encompassing astronomy, mythology, psychology, and astrology, \u003ci\u003ePluto\u003c\/i\u003e offers a wealth of knowledge about our most famous dwarf planet. First observed in 1930 and once defined as the ninth and final planet in our solar system, Pluto and its discovery and reclassification throw a unique light on how we generate meaning in science and culture. This anthology, timed to appear in concordance with NASA’s \u003ci\u003eNew Horizons\u003c\/i\u003e's approach to Pluto in July 2015, shows that while the astronomical Pluto may be little more than an ordinary escaped moon or tiny Kuiper Belt object, it is a powerful hyperobject, for its mythological and cultural effigies on Earth incubate deep unconscious seeds of the human psyche. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCertain astronomical features pertain to Pluto in terms of its distance from the Sun, coldness, and barrenness. These also inform its mythology and astrology as befitting a planet named after the God of the Underworld. Among the issues central to this collection are the meanings of darkness, loss, grief, inner transformation, rebirth, reincarnation, and karmic revelation, all of which are associated with the astrology of Pluto. Pluto also embodies the meaning of true wealth as being nonmaterial essence instead of property, conventional accolades, ego identity, achievement. It is the marker of negative capability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDana Wilde: Pluto on the Borderlands\u003cbr\u003eRichard Grossinger: Pluto and The Kuiper Belt\u003cbr\u003eRichard C.
