The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook is the long-awaited,
complete guide to horoscope interpretation by Sue Tompkins, author
of the modern classic Aspects in Astrology. Drawing on Sue's 30
years of experience as a leading light in her field, this manual
presents an in-depth exploration of the planets, signs, houses and
aspects, and guides the reader through the essential stages of
chart delineation. Rich in material for beginner and professional
alike, there is simply no other book like it. Included are insights
into Chiron and the Centaurs, co-written with Melanie Reinhart.
In this beautifully illustrated astrology handbook, author and
artist Carlota Santos guides readers on an astral journey through
the constellations. Included are expansive zodiac sign profiles
that cover the important details--personality summaries,
compatibility charts, and the structure and story behind each
sign--as well as representative tarot cards, amulets to balance
each sign's qualities, and rituals to nurture positive traits. For
those looking to dig deeper and explore their full astrological
chart, Santos shares her celestial knowledge on everything from the
relationships between planets and their rulers to the phases of the
moon, from ascendents and descendants to the twelve houses. With
this valuable material at their disposal, readers are guided to
create their own birth charts as a closing ritual, using
beautifully illustrated fill-in pages.
This book on Thai astrology is simple to use and makes several high
profile predictions: Sep 2009 Angela Merkel will win again, May
2010 David Cameron will become PM, May 2012 Nicholas Sarkozy will
win again, Nov 2012 Barrack Obama will win again, Feb 2014 Osama
Bin Laden will attack again, July 2014 Prince Charles will become
King, and May 2019 Prince William will marry. Everybody wants to
know his future, no exception. But many who try Western astrology

Despite a resurgence in popularity, horoscopes are generally
considered to be pseudoscience today - but they were once a
cutting-edge scientific tool. In this ingenious work of history,
data scientist Alexander Boxer examines a treasure trove of
esoteric classical sources to expose the deep imaginative framework
by which - for millennia - we made sense of our fates. Astrology,
he argues, was the ancient world's most ambitious applied
mathematics problem, a grand data-analysis enterprise sustained by
some of history's most brilliant minds, from Ptolemy to al-Kindi to
Kepler. A Scheme of Heaven explores the wonderful subtleties of
astrological ideas. Telling the stories of their inventors and most
influential exponents, Boxer puts them through their paces using
modern data sets - finding that the methods of today's scientists
are often uncomfortably close to those of astrology's ancient
sages.
Enjoy this fun and uplifting spiritual guidebook that provides
exclusive access to cosmic conditions that surround one specific
year of your life from birthdate to birthdate. Discover the dynamic
themes, challenges, and opportunities that await you at your Solar
Return (birthdate), and gain valuable insights, meditations,
mantras, and advice. Each chapter provides ancient knowledge that
can be applied to your life, and with each bit of wisdom you
receive, use your Vision Sheet to assist you with creating your
very own cosmic calendar. This book can be used repeatedly,
exploring any year of your choosing-past, present, or future. Each
time you come back, you will discover that the cosmic conditions
shift, and your spiritual guidance evolves. Interpretations are
insightful and empowering so that you can learn how to consciously
steer your own life. Online access to your own personal Cosmic
Navigator is provided.

Magic and divination in early Islam encompassed a wide range of
practices, including belief in jinn, warding off the evil eye, the
production of amulets and other magical equipment, conjuring,
wonder-working, dream interpretation, predicting the weather,
casting lots, astrology, and physiognomy. The ten studies here are
concerned with the pre-Islamic antecedents of such practices, and
with the theory of magic in healing, the nature and use of amulets
and their decipherment, the arts of astrometeorology and geomancy,
the refutation of astrology, and the role of the astrologer in
society. Some of the studies are highly illustrated, some long out
of print, some revised or composed for this volume, and one
translated into English for the first time. These fundamental
investigations, together with the introductory bibliographic essay,
are intended as a guide to the concepts, terminology, and basic
scholarly literature of an important, but often overlooked, aspect
of classical Islamic culture.
The science of esoteric astrology is said to be the basic occult
science for the future. It will come into its own as the esoteric
or soul factors begin to supersede the exoteric focus of the vast
majority of professional and amateur astrologers today. This is the
science which deals with those conditioning and governing energies
and forces which play through and upon the whole field of space and
all that is found within that field. The Ancient Wisdom teaches
that "Space is an entity". It is with the life of this entity and
with the forces and energies, the impulses and the rhythms, the
cycles and the times and seasons, that esoteric astrology deals.
Esoteric astrology can be applied by the trained worker in a
variety of ways; in medicine, psychology, science, education; to an
evaluation of human problems, of the destiny of nations, of a
correct interpretation of world affairs, and so on. It is
necessary, however, that at this stage the application of esoteric
astrology to human life should be recognised as experimental and
tentative, so that each individual worker can adjust his thinking
and his methods according to his own wrought-out experience. As
with all other aspects of occultism and esotericism, accuracy and
facility to work depend entirely on a consciousness evolving out of
control by the personality into the life of the soul, out of
separateness and self-centredness into a realisation of unity, and
absorption into a centre of group consciousness. Astrology is
described in this book as "the science of relationships" - the
relationship existing between all living organisms within the
universe. Not only the qualities of the ray energies affect these
centres of consciousness, but also the quality and energy of the
ruling planets and the zodiacal signs. Seen from the exoteric
outside, astrology is a vast and most involved and complex subject.
From the esoteric inside, while it is still vast, all-inclusive and
complex, it is also possible to perceive the thread which unites
and the pattern which prevails throughout the whole system. A basic
simplicity in the grand design emerges, therefore, which can serve
to interpret the whole. The main chapter headings to this book
provide the sequence in developing study: (1) The Zodiac and the
Rays (2) The Nature of Esoteric Astrology (3) The Science of
Triangles (4) The Sacred and Non-Sacred Planets (5) Three Major
Constellations (6) The Three Crosses (7) The Rays, Constellations
and Planets. In addition there is an appendix which summarises and
tabulates many of the factors of fundamental importance to the
study of esoteric astrology. This is a book for the true occult
student. It may appear to be too highly specialised for some; but
every esoteric worker finds eventually that his work requires an
understanding of the basic astrological factors which affect all
relationships and all forms of life within the ethers of space, so
that he may learn how to cooperate intelligently in the evolution
of the whole by the right adjustment of the part within that whole;
until eventually "the many are absorbed into the One." The books of
Alice A. Bailey, written in cooperation with a Tibetan teacher
between 1919-1949, constitute a continuation of the Ageless
Wisdom--a body of esoteric teaching handed down from ancient times
in a form which is always suitable to each period. Intended to
precede and condition the coming era, the Alice A. Bailey writings
offer an unparalleled spiritual approach to such subjects as the
teaching on Shamballa and the Path of spiritual evolution; the
spiritual Hierarchy; the new discipleship and training in
meditation as a form of service; the teaching on the seven rays and
the new psychology of the soul; the teaching on esoteric astrology;
and the new world religion, which emphasizes the common thread of
truth linking all the major world faiths.

practical, and insightful handbook that takes a revolutionary
approach to holistic wellness by unlocking the powers of the stars.
Do you suffer from neck pains? Go to the chapter on Taurus and the
neck. How about sore knees? Learn preventive tips and exercises in
the Capricorn chapter. Your Body and the Stars is the first
comprehensive reference guide to go deep into the twelve zodiac
signs and the specific body region each sign represents-from your
head down to your toes. You can utilize this book by identifying
your birth or sun sign and by the body region that needs healing
attention. Each chapter integrates a self-directed program and
holistic approach to health-both your emotional or mental
well-being as well as the physical health of your body. Practical
end-of-chapter tips, questions, and illustrated step-by-step

Are you a typical Leo? Are you proud and charismatic, a
natural-born leader? What if we told you that your star sign is
only the beginning. Astrology has been around for thousands of
years, and there's so much more to it than your daily horoscope.
Did you know that your Rising sign can give you an insight into the
way other people see you? Or that your Moon sign reveals the
secrets of your innermost emotions? Astrology can't predict your
future, but it can highlight your potential. This book shines a
light on your strengths, your weaknesses, what you can achieve and
the opportunities not to be missed. Use it to gain a better
understanding of who you are and who you might become.
