Explore the mysteries of the cosmos! Too often, astrology guides obscure the mystical wonder of the zodiac with overly tedious details about nodes, houses, angles, and aspects that even Ptolemy would reject. Astrology 101 cuts out the boring details and lengthy explanations and instead gives you a hands-on lesson that keeps you engaged as you learn how the movements of the stars and planets affect human behavior. From the four elements and twelve houses to astrological personality types and sign compatibility, this compact primer is packed with hundreds of fascinating star sign facts, informative charts and illustrations, and stories of famous astrologers and their predictions for the future. So whether you're looking to find how a Mercury retrograde affects you, or just want to learn more about a specific sun sign, Astrology 101 has all the answers--even the ones you didn't know you were looking for.
Erin Sullivan's latest book is a breakthrough both in astrology and psychology. The Astrology of Family Dynamics makes for gripping reading and shows us that astrology is the only system that demonstrates the complexities of the family as an organic whole, the family's place in the collective, and the role an individual plays in carrying on the ancestral line. To date there is no book dedicated to family patterns, the psychology of family dynamics, in natal astrology. Not only does this book fill a gap in astrological literature, it also adds an essential new dimension to the psychology of families and groups. The family -- as we have known it -- has changed dramatically with our changing technology. Families are re-forming in accord with the new times and responding to the demands of the family members. Many people are finding themselves uncomfortable within the smothering nuclear family and will want to explore the patterns that may have gone undiscovered because relatives no longer know each other well. The five personal case histories in The Astrology of Family Dynamics are fascinating stories. Sullivan writes with compassion and accuracy, weaving together various methods of analyzing and working with individuals and their families. There is "Mohsin", the adopted man, a story of autism, a poignant story of a woman whose child rejected her in utero! (Freud had it half right!), and the compelling story of a woman who carries the whole of her ancestral line -- a deeply moving tale that verifies our personal links to our own ancestors, links that defy linear time. She discusses the cardinal, fixed, and mutable signs as they affect families, shows how elements work as a familydynamic, tracks core themes in families using planetary positions and aspects, and explains the 4th, 8th, and 12th houses as our ancestral base. She works with the Jigsaw "TM" computer program to sort family charts into graphs that can interpret the data you find. A short discussion of the Kennedy family is also included.

Presented for the first time, full interpretations of the astrological quintiles and the sesquiquintiles using the ten traditional planets and the Ascendant. In this groundbreaking book, astrologer Dusty Bunker reveals the importance of the 72 Degrees quintile and the 108 Degrees sesquiquintile, two previously ignored astrological aspects, which the Egyptians called the "sacred golden bowls." With information gathered over thirty years through studying esoteric numbers, sacred geometry, Masonic manuscripts, religious texts, Egyptian symbols, and much more, Dusty shows why these aspects should be considered among the most important in the lexicon of astrologers because they reveal your hidden talents and your legacy, your path to fame! With a dusty map in hand, travel from the cosmic birth of the quintiles and the sesquiquintiles to the sand-covered site where these golden-bowl aspects have remained hidden all these years. This important reference book should be part of every astrologer's library.
Eliphas Levi, born Alphonse Louis Constant, (1810-75) was instrumental in the revival of Western occultism in the nineteenth century, and published several influential books on magic that are also reissued in this series. This posthumous publication (1896) is a translation by William Wynn Westcott, co-founder of the 'Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn', of an unpublished French manuscript by Levi, then owned by the spiritualist Edward Maitland. It includes eight of the author's drawings. Each short chapter outlines the meaning of one of the twenty-two tarot trumps and is followed by a brief editor's note describing the card's iconography and summarising interpretations (sometimes deliberately misleading) given in Levi's earlier publications. The book ends with Kabbalistic prayers and rituals, praise of Jesus Christ as the great initiate, and a surprising assertion that Christianity has superseded ancient magic, revealing the life-long tension between Catholicism and magic in Levi's personality and thought.

Ebenezer Sibly was a quack doctor, plagiarist, and masonic ritualist in late eighteenth-century London; his brother Manoah was a respectable accountant and a pastor who ministered to his congregation without pay for fifty years. The inventor of Dr. Sibly's Reanimating Solar Tincture, which claimed to restore the newly dead to life, Ebenezer himself died before he turned fifty and stayed that way despite being surrounded by bottles of the stuff. Asked to execute his will, which urged the continued manufacture of Solar Tincture, and left legacies for multiple and concurrent wives as well as an illegitimate son whose name the deceased could not recall, Manoah found his brother's record of financial and moral indiscretions so upsetting that he immediately resigned his executorship. Ebenezer's death brought a premature conclusion to a colorfully chaotic life, lived on the fringes of various interwoven esoteric subcultures. Drawing on such sources as ratebooks and pollbooks, personal letters and published sermons, burial registers and horoscopes, Susan Mitchell Sommers has woven together an engaging microhistory that offers useful revisions to scholarly accounts of Ebenezer and Manoah, while placing the entire Sibly family firmly in the esoteric byways of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The Siblys of London provides fascinating insight into the lives of a family who lived just outside our usual historical range of vision.
A guide to discovering and developing the spiritual and mystical talents hidden in your astrological chart * Explores the 4th, 8th, and 12th houses of the natal astrological chart-those connected with the water signs, the deepest and darkest areas of the individual psyche, profound spiritual insights, and hidden knowledge * Explains how to interpret the signs and planets in the water houses of your birth chart, including how to develop the innate talents and spiritual powers you discover * Reveals the occult and psychic significance of water and shows how this significance is expressed in each of the three water signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, the rulers of the water houses Your astrological birth chart, or natal chart, shows the positions of the planets, sun, and moon at the time of your birth. Shaped like a circle or wheel, it is divided into 12 sections, or "houses," each connected with a different area of life or self. The positions of the planets within the houses offer deep and often complex insight into your unique gifts and your life's path. In Astrology for Mystics, Tayannah Lee McQuillar explores the 4th, 8th, and 12th houses--those connected with the element of water and all things occult, mystical, and spiritual. The fourth house, ruled by water sign Cancer, is traditionally the house of family, home, ancestors, and suffering. The eighth house, ruled by water sign Scorpio, is the house of sex, death, secret powers, and transformation. The twelfth house, ruled by Pisces, is the house of karma, loss, unspoken expectations, fantasy, and confinement. As McQuillar explains, these are the houses that reveal the deepest and darkest areas of the individual psyche, which many people are reluctant to explore, yet this triad is the key to profound spiritual insights as well as the discovery of hidden knowledge and abilities. The author guides you through interpreting the signs and planets that inhabit the water houses in your natal chart and shows how they reveal specific innate talents. She describes how to develop the hidden powers revealed by your chart and offers practical advice for incorporating this knowledge into your daily life for spiritual growth and self-improvement. Sharing interpretation examples from her practice, she also explores how to embrace the challenge of the occult water houses so you can claim the many treasures that can only be found on the ocean floor of the psyche.

Using mythology, archetypal symbolism, and a wealth of case histories, this study provides new material and insight into the many facets of this major, transformative contact between the intimate and emotional Moon and the remote, deeply enigmatic Pluto. The story of Pluto-Moon contacts is the eternal saga of birth, death, and rebirth: abandonment and rejection; karma, transformation, and new life. No other planetary contact has such a depth of trauma, compulsion, and alienation. No other aspect has quite the same metamorphic and healing potential. Hall explains why Pluto-Moon aspects are so important, and gives a description of the Hades Moon through the signs. She also explores the Pluto cycle, Pluto from incarnation to initiation, Pluto in the Houses, and Pluto transits and the Hades Moon. She explores the emotional issues of alienation, abandonment, rejection, and adoption, delves into the archetype of the dark mother and shows how to trace enmeshed family patterns. Throughout the book, Hall offers information about flower essences and techniques that can help people handle Hades Moon energy.
