Origin Myths of the Stars
The Handbook of the Greek Zodiac Origin Myths & Their Symbolic Medicine
by Colby Michelle

How did a Scorpion become a constellation? Who lifted the Archer into the sky? Which timeless tales gave birth to the twelve zodiac signs—and when did we forget we ever knew their origins? In ancient times, mythos was neither true nor false but a living story, rich with symbolic wisdom waiting to be remembered. In Origin  Myths  of  the  Stars, each chapter unfolds a tale older than memory—retold through a Jungian, archetypal lens that illuminates the unconscious patterns shaping our lives. Simple, lyrical, and accessible, these narratives transform Cancer’s tender devotion, Capricorn’s surrender to fate, and every sign in between into guiding mirrors and medicine. Here, you’ll rediscover the hidden truths written in starlight and carry their lessons into your own journey of self‑discovery.

“These ancient stories aren’t just about stars and gods and skies. . .they’re about us. Colby does an incredible job showing us the parts of ourselves we’ve forgotten how to name. When we sit with myth, we’re not just learning history—we’re remembering who we are. This is the kind of magic that reconnects us to ourselves, to each other, and to the brave souls who came before us." —Jody Carrington, PHD Author of Feeling Seen & Kids These Days
