Blue Bell, PA, October 13, 2004 – In an era of new age thinking and non-traditional spirituality, the field of astrology is enjoying a surge in popularity that many feel is long overdue.

After all, astrologers have been accurately predicting events – both major and minor – for thousands of years. World leaders, including many of our own presidents, have regularly consulted astrologers as a matter of course when pondering major policy decisions. Yet for centuries, astrologers have been dismissed as “quacks” and lumped in the same category as fortune tellers, palm readers and psychics.

Carrie Lever, a local astrologer and contributor to Llewellyn’s Starview Almanac, has made it her life’s mission to bring credibility to her profession. An established teacher, author and lecturer on astrology, Lever gained notice after she accurately predicted a significant rise in terrorist activity in 2001.

In addition to teaching astrology at Montgomery County Community College, Lever regularly conducts workshops and private readings in her home. But her passion is applying her expertise in astrology to her interest in world politics, particularly in forecasting terror timeframes for countries around the world “ It was the bombing of the USS Cole on October 12, 2000 that alerted me to the potential of applying astrology in the war on terrorism. My research gave me strong indications that terror would strike the United States in 2001. I was so convinced of the validity of the research that I knew I had to take steps to alert the right people.” Her correspondence with government officials resulted in her being put on a government watch list and her website, www.anastrologersperspective.com is still regularly monitored by numerous government agencies. The lack of responsiveness from the officials she contacted does not dissuade her from continuing to monitor future terrorist activities and other world political events. Her track record of accurately predicting currents is impressive (see sidebar).

The Llewellyn’s Starview Almanac is in its second year of publication, and has expanded its subject matter over the years to include a wide range of topics. Renowned astrologers provide their views on everything from homeland security, America’s obesity problem, the world of entertainment and so forth. Lever’s chapter, “Breaking Silence,” offers her astrological insight into the world politic scene, not only the continued threat of terrorism for America and the rest of the free world, but also commentary on the unstable political environments of Venezuela, Columbia and Peru. The book can be purchased at major bookstores throughout the area.

Carrie Lever has been practicing astrology for over 25 years and is certified through the National Counsel for GeoCosmic Research (NCGR). She also holds a masters’ degree in marriage and family therapy that allows her to offer individuals personal consultations that combine astrology with a strong foundation in human and social behavior patterns. She offers in-person and phone consultations and is available to conduct workshops for either social groups or organizations. She can be contacted at www.anastrologersperspective.com.
