An account of astrology from its beginnings in Mesopotamia,
focusing on the Greco-Roman world, Ancient Astrology examines the
theoretical development and changing social and political role of
astrology.
This book follows up on the foundation provided in Fundamentals of
Vedic Astrology and delves into questions such as impulses likely
to be generated by the planets in different signs and houses of the
natal chart. The author makes this subject eminently readable and
cuts through the obscurity of the centuries to present a clear and
effective science with a deep psychological background and
underpinning.
In the darkest days of the Second World War, with Europe falling
under German occupation and Britain facing invasion, a 36-year-old
refugee from the Nazis, Louis de Wohl, made a curious offer to
British Intelligence. Based on the widely-held belief that Hitler's
every action was guided by his horoscope, de Wohl claimed he could
reveal precisely what advice the Fuhrer's astrologers were giving
him. Rather than being dismissed out of hand as a crank, Churchill
could see de Wohl's worth for himself. He was subsequently made an
army captain and quartered in the Grosvenor House Hotel, from where
he passed detailed astrological readings to the War Office and
Naval Intelligence, before being transferred to work for the SOE in
the United States. Was it possible that senior military and naval
intelligence officers could take the ancient and arcane practice of
astrology seriously? And was de Wohl genuine or merely a charlatan?
In The Astrologer, author James Parris examines the evidence,
including recently released files, and reaches remarkable
conclusions about this bizarre aspect of the war.
Tamsyn Barton traces the history of astrology from its beginnings in Mesopotamia to the early Byzantine Empire, focussing on the Greco-Roman world.

This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in history, the history of science, or in modern astrology, as well as to the specialist. eBook available with sample pages: 0203410718

Astrology has the power to take our breath away, to enchant us
through the eerie synchronicities it reveals between sky events and
earth events. Life presents us all with periods that are both
challenging and potentially transformative. This book shows - in
intimate detail and grounded in the author's personal experience -
how the outer planets can be used to help navigate and illuminate
those testing times. Astrology can guide us through the deep
initiatory and transformative experiences that life, if we are
willing, offers us - providing an affirmation of an intuitive,
non-rational means of knowing that's central to who we are as
humans, but undervalued and even denied in our modern age. Surfing
the Galactic Highways is a refreshingly bold assertion of the
intuitive, non-rational nature of astrological knowledge, and a
thoroughgoing refutation of those who would relegate astrology to
the status of a 'pseudo-science'.

When you think of astrology, you may think of the horoscope section
in your local paper, or of Nancy Reagan's consultations with an
astrologer in the White House in the 1980s. Yet almost every
religion uses some form of astrology: some way of thinking about
the sun, moon, stars, and planets and how they hold significance
for human lives on earth. Astrology and Cosmology in the World's
Religions offers an accessible overview of the astrologies of the
world's religions, placing them into context within theories of how
the wider universe came into being and operates. Campion traces
beliefs about the heavens among peoples ranging from ancient Egypt
and China, to Australia and Polynesia, and India and the Islamic
world. Addressing each religion in a separate chapter, Campion
outlines how, by observing the celestial bodies, people have
engaged with the divine, managed the future, and attempted to
understand events here on earth. This fascinating text offers a
unique way to delve into comparative religions and will also appeal
to those intrigued by New Age topics.
