"As above, so below" is the foundation of all star wisdom. It was known in ancient times that there are correspondences between the macrocosm (heavenly realm) and the microcosm (human being) and the Earth. Astrogeographia is a modern form of that ancient star wisdom. According to the astronomer Johannes Kepler: There radiates into the Earth soul an image of the sense-perceptible zodiac and the whole firmament as a bond of sympathy between Heaven and Earth.... This imprint into the Earth soul through the sense-perceptible zodiac and the entire sphere of fixed stars is also confirmed through observation. And Rudolf Steiner said in his course on astronomy, "We can conceive of the active heavenly sphere mirrored in the Earth." The authors of Astrogeographia set out to determine the correspondences between the starry heavens and the earthly globe-As above, so below. There are many books on the sacredness and the spirituality of our Earth. Few books, however, deal with the relationship between the Earth and the cosmos, which is the central theme for the research presented in this book. Its point of departure is the one-to-one correspondence between the encircling starry heavens-the celestial sphere-and the sphere of the earthly globe. David Bowden has not only worked out the mathematics of this one-to-one correspondence, but has also written a computer program that applies it in practice. Thus, a new science has been born-Astrogeographia-concerning the one-to-one correspondence between the earthly sphere and the celestial sphere. Illustrated in color.

Throughout history, astrology was considered a scholarly tradition, relied upon by world leaders, philosophers and spiritual teachers to guide civilizations in all areas of life. Historically, astrology was accepted in political and academic contexts, and was connected with astronomy, alchemy, meteorology and medicine. Although since the end of the 17th century, science called astrology into question, many scholars are now reviving its role in shaping our understanding of the world. Buddhist Astrology is a form of archetypal astrology that helps us understand the role of the cosmic cycles in relation to our understanding and identification with Buddhist philosophy and mythology. It helps us understand the role of interdependence, a primary Buddhist belief, with our personal genetics, family history, education, and other social and cultural influences. Buddhist Astrology recognizes that there is a critical need to balance the physical world around us with conditions we were born into, from a karmic or cosmic perspective. The interdependence of these factors makes us able to live in a world full of choices while honoring the basic dynamic trends pulling us in one direction or another.
The strongest expression of any two planets occurs when they are conjunct. In this book, Mrs. Leinbach describes planetary relationships in conjunction, where the interaction is strongest. Conjunctions in a chart strongly characterize an individual, intensifying the influence of the two planets involved. Also, understanding the nature of the conjunction can inform one's understanding of the interaction of two planets in terms of whatever other aspect (such as the trine or square) might be found. Planets & Asteroids, Relationships in Conjunction is also an essential tool for understanding how two people interact with each other based upon the conjunctions between their two charts. Conjunctions between two individual charts are one of the most significant factors in understanding the way two people will relate to each other. This book was first published in 1974. Esther V. Leinbach was one of the first astrologers to write about the four major asteroids, Ceres, Juno, Pallas and Vesta. This newly updated and revised editon now also includes Mrs. Leinbach's interpretation of the recently discovered minor planet, Chiron.
The Moon Sign is one of the most important astrological features, but only a few people know their Moon Sign. The book explains how to find out your Moon Sign and shows on many examples how it works in the lives of celebrities. The knowledge of your Moon Sign will help you to discover your hidden talents, to better understand people around you, and to live a healthier and happier life. So what the Moon Sign is? You probably know your "star sign" which is defined from the date of birth - when reading a "horoscope" in a newspaper or a magazine, you select the one for your "star sign." In fact, "star sign" is just a marketing term introduced by newspapers and magazines, it doesn't exist in real astrology. The astrological characteristic misnamed as "star sign" is actually the Sun Sign, i.e. the sign of the zodiac in which the Sun was situated at the moment of your birth. Okay, so you already know your Sun Sign, but still, what is the Moon Sign? It's the sign of the zodiac through which the Moon was traveling at the moment when you were born. The Moon is somewhat underestimated in Western Astrology but it is considered to be the main celestial body in Hindu Astrology, with its uninterrupted, thousands years old tradition. Once you discover your Moon Sign, you'll feel like you've recognised something important, essential about yourself. You'll better understand your strengths an weaknesses and, if you want to dive that deep, you might even discover why you have chosen to live this life. These are just a few curious facts from the book: * Both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have pioneering Aries for their Moon Sign. * Angelina Jolie and her father, Jon Voight, also share the same Moon Sign, and also Aries. * Moon in Taurus gave the world some of the most popular authors including O. Henry, Alexandre Dumas, Ian Fleming and Hans Christian Andersen. * Quite surprisingly, the Moon in Taurus also gave the world some of the prominent mystics: Edgar Cayce, Carlos Castaneda, Emanuel Swedenborg, Jane Roberts. Carl Gustav Jung was also born with the Moon in Taurus, and some people could say he was also a mystic. * Gemini is the Moon Sign of the many of the prominent world's leaders including Simon Bolivar, Catherine the Great, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Helmut Kohl. And you know what? Barack Obama is also in this company. * Moon in Cancer gave birth to a whole presidential dynasty Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt were all born with the Moon in Cancer. * Here is another Moon Sign presidential connection: both George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush have diplomatic Libra for their Moon Sign. * Some of the coolest movie heroes - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, George Clooney - were all born with the Moon in Capricorn. In the book, you will find many more surprises and discoveries. It will also teach you: * how to find out where the Moon is on the daily basis, and how to use that knowledge to make your life happier and more efficient; * how to find a partner with whom you will live happily for many years; * how to choose the safest day for a surgery, * and many other things.
Human beings in all cultures have long used the sky to tell stories and weave myths that impart meaning to life on earth. The key to all such systems is symbolism, in which one thing is used to signify, imply, represent, or embody another. The papers included in this volume are all concerned, in one way or another, with various perceptions of the world of celestial phenomena as symbols. These explorations range from art history and analytical psychology to critiques and accounts of astrology, and roam from western to non-western cultures, as well as from the ancient world to the modern. The papers, most of which were given at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David Sophia Centre Conference in Bath, UK, in 2011, provide a valuable addition to the scholarly literature on our understanding of the origins, function, and nature of symbols, especially their use in relation to cultural applications of astronomy, astrology, and the sky.
The aim of this short volume is to illustrate to my colleagues the technical and non technical reasons that have led me to declare that rules n. 1 and n. 2 of my 34 rules included in Transits and Solar Returns (but published in many articles and books since 1972) are the only astrological statements that have been accepted by Official Science in the whole history of human thought. However, this important goal in the history of Astrology has not been greeted with much enthusiasm by colleagues and fellow astrologers. On the contrary, it has been even opposed by some of them, simply out of envy. On the other hand scientifists, namely those who use Science in an essentialist way, have predictably ignored this event. Hence, with no celebration but no false modesty either, I wish to illustrate the path that has led me to this important goal to those who are little familiar with Statistics. I wish to emphasize once again that I consider Astrology Art rather than Science or, by any rate, a Human Science epistemologically closet o disciplines such as Sociology, Literary Criticism, Philosophy, Psychology, and so on. In this light, allow me a piece of criticism - a complaint, almost - to a "technological astrology" that is quite marketable these days. Although I have researched extensively working with Statistics applied to Astrology, I mainly consider myself an astrologer focusing on Man, in the broadest meaning of the word...
What can we expect from someone with an always ruddy face, a thick neck, bowed legs or knocked knees? What about someone with a big jaw, puffy eyes or overly large teeth? Your outer self reveals the inner you, and this unique and revolutionary look at astro-physiognomy - the astrology of the face and body - shows us how we can analyze anyone, instantly, disrobing both friends and strangers as never before. The Naked Horoscope is a goldmine of astrological observations for the professional astrologer and the casual observer alike. It is the most complete work of its kind in existence, showing, via countless celebrity examples and in stark detail, how our horoscopes are physically revealed.

Eve Romany takes us on a fast, intimate and raunchy ride through the world of famous bodies and faces, indisputably linking appearance and astrology. With her particular blend of insight and caustic wit, the lessons of this book are speedily and easily learned, never to be forgotten.

It has been known throughout the ages that gemstones and crystals possess energies that can be used to aid in a wide range of activities. From healing to gathering knowledge, from mediation to protections, stones and crystals have long been useful tools in assisting practitioners of various spiritual arts in reaching their potential. In this informative, updated edition of a classic text, author and gemstone properties expert Magda Palmer has completed the mammoth task of matching gemstones and minerals to the celestial bodies of our solar system, correlating astronomical facts with gemmological research.. Her matches align with newly discovered, scientifically recognized facts in astronomical and gemmological research in order to give credence to accepted facts. Each gemstone, rock, and crystal has a unique energy directly linked to its chemical composition and internal structure, just as the celestial bodies that influenced our time of birth emit cosmic forces gained through their inherent state of being. With our appropriate birthstones we can focus ourselves, enhance our positive objectives, and travel our Tao taking the most exhilarating paths. Practical and grounded in a deep love of the subject, this guide offers a valuable resource for practitioners of alternative medicine using gemstones and minerals as a medium in healing. "A powerful and positive book anchored in sound knowledge and research. An enduring classic text it offers humanity valuable insights for healing and vibrant well-being." -Hazel Menehira, FTCL, ANZDA, member of the New Zealand Society of Authors and the Australian Society of Authors
2013 Reprint of 1930 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. George Washington Carey (1845-1924) was an American physician known for a number of 1910s 'Chemistry of Life' publications, a subject which he referred to as biochemistry, particularly his 1919 "The Chemistry of Human Life." Carey combined a mixture of religion, astrology, physiology, anatomy, and chemistry, themed particularly with a mineral-based theory of human disease, to develop his theories. Carey is popular among the new-age and homeopathic circles. In the context of a person viewed as a "human molecule," Carey was the first to state that a person's body is a "chemical formula in operation." This title is the first part: "Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac," of this classic and later publication; "The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation." With the renewed interest in homeopathy, increased study of astrology and the entrance of the Aquarian Age, this book has gained more importance. It is an attempt to answer all the questions regarding the cell salts.
Over a decade of dedicated research Over a year of writing and editing With the blessings and guidance of a swami, a babaji, and a Sanskrit scholar, Vic DiCara presents you the world's most definitive, simple and completely awesome explanation of the mythology and meaning within the 27 stars of ancient Indian astrology If you are an astrologer or a fan of astrology, you will be transformed by Vic's radically clear and straightforward explanations of Sanskrit, Vedic mythology, and mastery of intuitive symbolism.

If you are a spiritual seeker, you will discover the origin of the universe, the meaning of life, and essential clues in the eternal quest for the "fountain of youth." "The 160 pages of this book are abundantly replete with exact references and footnotes to satisfy the scholars among you. The book is dripping with dramatic storytelling, filled with philosophy as clear and deep as a Himalayan lake, and precisely presents the perfectly useful astrological symbolism of the divine stars." * * "If there is anything Vedic and spiritual about Hindu astrology, then this is the book that can teach us about it. Vic leads us into the wonderful depths of Vedic wisdom by relating the myths connected with each of the 27 lunar mansions and their deities. Using this approach, this book goes considerably deeper than other Jyotish textbooks I have seen. Warmly recommended, even to non-astrologers Can we hope for follow-up book about the Hindu planetary deities?" - Dieter Koch, Indologist and Archaeoastronomer Co-creator of the Swiss Ephemeris "Vic DiCara's exploration and definitive research on the lunar mansions brings the primordial zodiac alive with the rich symbolism and sacred stories of Indian lore. We often forget that the basis of Vedic astrology will always be the mystical mythology associated with Jyotish, the science of light. Mr. DiCara's brilliant text illuminates our path home to the divine through his deep understanding and the blessings of the gods and goddesses of ancient India" - Dennis M. Harness, Ph.D. Psychologist, Writer and Vedic Astrologer "27 Stars, 27 Gods is a fantastically deep book about the fixed stars of Vedic astrology. It is well written and well researched, and is a clear and enjoyable read I highly recommend it for everyone from astrologers to yogis and everyone in between." - Juliana Swanson, RN ACVA Teacher, Jyotish Visharada & Kovid More than a journey through the outer universe of astrological stars, 27 Stars 27 Gods is a journey through the driving forces of the subconscious inner universe. By helping us identify these influences Vic DiCara helps us understand ourselves better and progress more smoothly on our life's journey. 27 Stars 27 Gods can be a reference book in the hands of an experienced astrologer, but it is also a self improvement tool for any reader interested in exploring life in depth. It presents symbols, mythology, ancient storytelling and divine lila in language that immediately catches one's interest and speaks to us like a friend - never prescriptive, but always revealing our opportunities. Let me congratulate Vic on this unique book. Unlike most books in the spiritual market, this is not at all a copy of a copy of a copy. It is an outstanding new addition to our knowledge, written with an inspired pen of intensity and wit. - Sripad Sacinandana Swami Vaishnava Guru & Sanyassi
This short volume condenses the Author's 42 year-long experience in the field of Elective Astrology, meaning by this that branch of Astrology aimed at choosing the best moment to baptize - in an astrological sense - the birth of a new business, or the living in a new house, or the beginning of a new love affair, or the signing of a contract before a notary, or the start in a good way of anything we care about. This book was published for the first time in Italy in 1988 and re-published in the same place in 2002. However, the Author has saved only about ten pages of that book because in all these years he has realised that he was making some methodological mistakes that later he has been able to correct through a long experience of direct consultations, having thousands of people asking him for the right day and hour in which they could give birth to something. For this reason the book is completely different from the Italian edition and he purposefully wanted to stop before he reached one hundred pages because he followed that conviction of his - which has always been much appreciated by his readers - that an example is worth one thousand words. The Author has thus tried to eliminate any repetition, addressing directly the core of practical problems that are useful for students in Astrology as well as for his colleagues.
Meet fourteen ascending stars at the forefront of the current astrological revival.

'Astrology: The New Generation' is an anthology of techniques and insights that will enhance your astrological skills and understanding. This first volume has essays from Nick Dagan Best, Gary Caton, Frank C. Clifford, Rebecca Crane, Benjamin Dykes, Maurice Fernandez, John Green, Tony Howard, Mark Jones, Keiron Le Grice, Eric Meyers, Moses Siregar III, Wendy Stacey, Branka Stamenkovic.
The interpretation of the natal charts (that is to say, of the drawing representing the celestial positions of our solar system at the moment of one's birth) is probably the milestone of all Astrological Knowledge. It is the point of confluence of the science in which - in a mass of fascinating synergies - disciplines such as astronomy, astrology, mythology, psychology, and a hundred other forms of Knowledge converge that together form what should be understood for Holistic Knowledge. The master of astrology, enriched by multi-decennial experiences, has the gift of synthesis, the ability of photographing in a moment all the Microcosm-Macrocosm that encloses past, present and future of every human being through the glyphs of planets, the Houses, and the angular aspects among the elements of the chart. This volume represents the University of Astrology. It is not coincidental that its Author, who is one of the most accomplished astrologer of the world, sought to engage in the writing of this short treatise, about the same time of the turning point of his own professional jubilee (defined by the number of works that he has published so far). With the simplicity that distinguishes him, on this occasion too, Ciro Discepolo has been able to present to both neophytes and the more experienced readers the most difficult concepts in a direct, simple, immediately usable way, revealing previously unpublished details, new knowledge that he has meditated for long before writing about it, and even small secrets of what must necessarily be called the Interpretative Art of Astrology. As is his custom, the Author offers over fifty examples to support the explained theories. They consist mainly in the natal charts of celebrities, completely revised compared to past editions, or interpreted now for the first time for the delight of his students. |
