Vedic astrology arises out of ancient cosmology and is intimately
linked to spiritual practices. Renowned and popular vedic
astrologer Komilla Sutton teaches this ancient tradition to
students all around the world through her webinars and books. This
is her first and best-selling book, and it is aimed at beginners as
well as astrologers think of moving from tropical to vedic
astrology.
The American Ephemeris 1950-2050 at Midnight, The Trans-Century
Edition, is published in response to multiple requests for a one
hundred year ephemeris covering these "most useful years." With the
years 1950 through 2050, only one ephemeris needs to be at hand,
especially when traveling, for an astrologer to do quick lookups of
both birth data and transiting data over the expected life span of
most people currently living. Since the 1976 publication of the
first version of The American Ephemeris, 1931-1980, Neil F.
Michelsen's ground-breaking series of ephemerides for astrologers
have consistently set standards for accuracy in astrology, becoming
indispensible to astrologers worldwide at every level from student
to professional. The tradition continues with the addition of this
new tropical ephemeris spanning from mid 20th century through mid
21st century. Rique Pottenger has revised and expanded the
Michelsen programming with updated Jet Propulsion Laboratory data
and improvements in the computer generating program that, for
example, enable finding double ingresses in a single day, plus more
accurate station times. A new formula increases the accuracy of the
Galactic Center calculation. Other new features have been added,
the most obvious of which are the dwarf planets Ceres and Eris, in
response to the 2006 decisions of the International Astronomical
Union. Monthly positions have also been added for the remaining
three of the former four major asteroids in wide use among
astrologers, Pallas, Juno and Vesta, and also for the centaur,
Chiron.

BOND - JAMES BOND. He's a global literary and entertainment
phenomenon. But few know there is a hidden, esoteric side to Bond
and his creator, Ian Fleming - and all those secrets are revealed
here. Using the celestial language of astrology, RA RISHIKAVI
RAGHUDAS charts Bond's course from Fleming's interest in
metaphysics and his life as a British intelligence agent, to the
creation of the Bond novels and then through the entire Bond movie
franchise. We learn about the origin of 007's codename, how Fleming
may have tricked the Nazis using astrology, why James Bond is the
ultimate Scorpio archetype, and why he's a hero who remains
relevant even as times change. We even find that the charts of all
the actors who have played Bond are cosmically tied together! THE
ASTROLOGY OF BOND - JAMES BOND is a treasure house of insight and
delight for Bond fans everywhere. Written with style, wit and
clarity, it's suitable even for those with little or no
astrological knowledge. It's the definitive astro-guide to 007!
Mainstream science has long dismissed astrology as a form of
primitive superstition, despite or perhaps even because of its huge
popular interest. From daily horoscopes to in-depth and
personalized star forecasts, astrology, for many, plays a crucial
role in the organization of everyday life. Present-day scholars and
scientists remain baffled as to why this pseudo-science exercises
such control over supposedly modern, rational and enlightened
individuals, yet so far they have failed to produce any meaningful
analysis of why it impacts on so many lives and what lies behind
its popular appeal. Moving beyond scientific scepticism, Astrology,
Science and Culture finally fills the gap by probing deeply into
the meaning and importance of this extraordinary belief system.
From the dawn of pre-history, humankind has had an intimate
connection with the stars. With its roots in the Neolithic culture
of Europe and the Middle East, astrology was traditionally heralded
as a divinatory language. Willis and Curry argue that, contrary to
contemporary understanding including that of most astrologers
astrology was originally, and remains, a divinatory practice.
Tackling its rich and controversial history, its problematic
relationship to Jungian theory, and attempts to prove its grounding
in objective reality, this book not only persuasively demonstrates
that astrology is far more than a superstitious relic of years gone
by, but that it enables a fundamental critique of the scientism of
its opponents. Groundbreaking in its reconciliation of astrologys
ancient traditions and its modern day usage, this book impressively
unites philosophy, science, anthropology, and history, to produce a
powerful exploration of astrology, past and present.

chart. These 720 lucid delineations are full of insight for both

'A delightful and utterly fascinating work of intellectual history.' Joshua Foer author of Moonwalking with Einstein
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.

A guide to understanding the phases of astrological Moon signs and
their effects on emotions and personality
- Describes the positive and negative character-defining traits of
each of the 96 Moon phase/Moon sign combinations
- Explains how to use your natal Moon's sign and phase to predict
how current and approaching Moons can affect you
- Explores the universal challenges arising during each Moon phase
throughout the year and ways to honor each phase as it passes
The Moon's ever-changing phases offer a way to deepen our
understanding of our natal Moon sign as well as the Moon's
day-to-day influence on our emotional tides. Through its 8 phases
and its wandering dance through each of the 12 signs of the
Zodiac--from the Infant's Moon (the New Moon in Aries) to the
Storyteller's Moon (the Full Moon in Gemini) to the Prophet's Moon
(the waning Balsamic Moon in Aquarius)--the Moon shares its story
in 96 different ways.
Telling the stories of the heart of all 96 Moon phase and Moon sign
combinations, Raven Kaldera explains the creative gifts and
emotional challenges bestowed upon those born under each Moon
archetype as well as how to nurture the positive traits and
improve--or at least discourage--the negative ones. Exploring the
influences each Moon archetype has on us as it passes, the author
reveals which Moons are the most difficult, what innate qualities
each Moon brings out in us, and what we can do to honor each Moon.
Including evocative quotes illuminating the nature of each Moon,
Kaldera shows how to use your natal Moon's astrological sign and
phase to find your "hidden Moons"--the shadows cast by passing
Moons--and predict how current and approaching Moons will affect
you.
