A new series of sign-by-sign guides from contemporary astrologers. Astrology is a vital tool for understanding our place in the world and the universal forces that move us.

Learn about how your sign grows from child to adult, fits in at school and at work, and functions best as a friend, lover, parent, and more. In these practical and empowering guides to the zodiac signs, contemporary astrologers teach you to use this dynamic language to better understand yourself and the people around you.

In western astrology we have grown accustomed to perceiving the Sun's path as circular: the years revolve and the days and months return again, the 360 degrees of the zodiac go round in a ring. But the Sun has an up and down path too. It climbs steps of declination from each equinox to solstice and descends again from solstice to equinox. It marks off time in a different way which gives an extraordinary view, and adds an extra breadth to the meaning and movement of the heavenly bodies. This comprehensive work not only covers the technique of declination, but it is full of the fascinating myths and traditions which form the cornerstone of our culture - it will therefore be of great interest to anyone who follows the natural rhythm of the solar and lunar festivals in the course of their everyday lives.

Astrology has been open to criticism through a large part of its long history. In this groundbreaking book Bernadette Brady gives new insights in the intensity of these criticisms by placing astrology into its initial setting, its original world of ancient creation myths linked to the great creative void. Modern chaos theory has now rediscovered this void and Brady maps astrology to chaos theory to produce "chaotic astrology". The result is an insight into fate, freewill and the nature of astrology itself implying that it is neither a science nor a religion, and suggests instead that astrology is an instrument of chaos, a fertile and pragmatic tool for understanding the patterns of life. Original and insightful as ever, Brady navigates the reader through a breath-taking journey which can change forever the way one views the world.

A companion volume to Patterns of the Past, this book explores the relationships we have in this life and their connections to previous lives. Includes visualizations and many case histories.

With her expertise and experience of both traditional horary rules and contemporary medical and psychological counseling, Sellar shows how to blend together the best of ancient and modern astrology to create a system that really works.

Tracing the roots of astrology from Abraham through the life of Christ and the surrounding Roman Empire, this book provides astonishing evidence that astrology once held an essential position within early Christian beliefs and traditional monotheistic Hebrew culture. Powerful proofs from history and the Bible are examined, and the reasons behind the unfounded defamation of astrology by Roman church authorities are presented, finally legitimatizing astrology for Christians today. Applicable to the seasoned astrologer, yet easy to understand by those with little knowledge of astrology, detailed historical and astrological evidence behind the Star of Bethlehem, the biblical nature of wisdom, and the wise men are explored. Original horoscopes for King David and the eclipse preceding the birth of Jesus are described, with astounding implications for modern understanding. The final messages are clear: God is real. The story of Jesus Christ is real. The manifestation of God's will is real, and nowhere in the Bible is there a condemnation of astrology.

A comprehensive guide to crystals and their powers Birthstones have been used for millennia for luck, protection and wisdom. Traditionally, crystals and gemstones were linked to specific astrological signs because their energies resonated. The discovery of new crystals has opened the way for a deeper connection, and each star sign now has many crystals associated with it. This comprehensive guide describes the crystals linked to each sign and explains how they can be used to enhance self- understanding and personal growth. Crystals can be used for profound soul growth, to overcome challenges or for guidance on everyday decisions. For each astrological sign, there are past-life patterns to be dissolved and wisdom to be regained. The use of appropriate crystals facilitates this process. In addition to explaining the links between crystals and both sun and moon signs, Judy Hall's Crystal Zodiac gives instructions for laying out and working with a crystal zodiac mandala.
