Receiving a gift is a blessing. Yet we must know how to recognise it, honour it and put it at the service of life. Through a fresh interpretation of the planetoid Ixion, this book offers a completely new approach to this symbol within the framework of mindfulness astrology. Far from evoking fault or transgression, Ixion reveals the way in which each of us receives the talents entrusted to us, allowing them to flourish or turning away from them. Signs, houses and aspects show how gratitude, mindfulness and fidelity to our inner source enable these gifts to become a living work in the service of ourselves, others and the world.
