A new series of sign-by-sign guides from contemporary astrologers. Astrology is a vital tool for understanding our place in the world and the universal forces that move us. A cosmic calling rather than a fated destiny, our astrological sign is a key to uncovering our mission here on earth. Learn about how your sign grows from child to adult, fits in at school and at work, and functions best as a friend, lover, parent, and more. In these practical and empowering guides to the zodiac signs, contemporary astrologers teach you to use this dynamic language to better understand yourself and the people around you.
In "The Weiser Concise Guide to Practical Astrology", Priscilla Costello introduces the reader to the basic principles of modern astrology and unveils the secrets of this elegantly developed language of symbols. Costello shares with the reader both the philosophical and esoteric world view of astrology, while exploring the meanings of signs, planets, houses, and aspects on many levels, as well as its connection to psychology, religion and spirituality, and related esoteric studies. "The Weiser Concise Guide to Practical Astrology" serves as both a primer for the new student of astrology and a handy reference for the more seasoned practitioner. As complete as it is concise, this course of study delves deeply into the history and true spirit of astrology, making it accessible to all.
"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.
Contemporary science views our planet as an insignificant speck of dust in the vastness of space, with its four kingdoms as a random assemblage of atoms. Yvan Rioux presents a radically different perspective, demonstrating an indissoluble relationship between Heaven and Earth. Over aeons of existence, the four kingdoms have manifested a creative power that perpetually brings forth new expressions. With the goal of bridging science and spirit, Rioux helps revive the old intuitive awareness of an intimate communion between the outer perceptible life of nature, the inner life of the soul and the majestic spiritual formative forces that preside as architects - an organic whole where all levels co-evolve. The earth, nesting in its solar system, is connected with the Milky Way and the twelve constellations. The impact of the stars as an influence on human behaviour has been known for millennia. In the original edition of Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul, twelve illustrations of the constellations, made by Imma von Eckardstein, were published for the first time. These intuitive drawings differ greatly from the traditional ones, but Steiner stressed their importance for our modern consciousness. The images invite us to comprehend formative forces in their various guises in the kingdoms of nature. By exploring the gifts of each constellation, the author uses Imma's drawings as a template to elucidate the emergence of twelve basic forms as the common denominators of all creatures, leading eventually towards the human form. 'The [new] images of the zodiac constellations represent actual experiences connected with the waking and sleeping of particular spiritual beings. In these images we have a knowledge that needs to be renewed at this time...' - Rudolf Steiner (1912)
One of the most important journeys in life is finding your calling, a process of identifying and embracing the best career for personal satisfaction and success. As a child, you may have intuitively identified a career path that felt exciting and right. But it's easy to lose that belief and clarity as you navigate a confusing world. Competing and contradictory advice and expectations from friends, family, and society can make it challenging to identify what you truly want to do in the world, and how to pursue your dreams. In this inspiring, practical, and supportive book, Jan Spiller teaches you how the 10th House - or Midheaven - in your astrological chart can shed light on the tools and gifts you have to achieve success in any area of life. When you embrace and express your natural talents, you more easily enlist others in your success, and events fall into place more smoothly. But more than that, the 10th House shows how you can actualize the part of yourself that seeks a meaningful place in the world, and how to align more closely with your deeper purpose. On all levels - financial, emotional, relational, and spiritual - the 10th House can guide you to fulfillment, authenticity, and success. You'll need your astrology chart to use this book.

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.

2013 Reprint of 1963 Edition in Two Volumes bound into one. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Thomas H. Burgoyne, an astrologer and founder of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, was born April 14, 1855, and grew up in his native Scotland. Spontaneously psychic, he claimed that as a child he came into contact with the Brotherhood of Light, a group of discarnate, advanced beings who attempt to guide the destiny of humankind. Today that group continues as the Church of Light. At a later date he met a M. Theon, purported to be an earthly representative of the brotherhood who taught Burgoyne about the Brotherhood. Burgoyne moved to the United States around 1880 and soon afterward his writings began to appear in various periodicals. He was brought into contact with Norman Astley of Carmel, California, who also claimed to be in contact with the Brotherhood of Light. Astley suggested that Burgoyne write a set of lessons to introduce the brotherhood's teachings to the public, and Burgoyne accepted Astley's hospitality at Carmel while he worked on the lessons. They were published in 1889 as "The Light of Egypt." The writing of the lessons occasioned the establishment of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor as an esoteric occult order and outer expression of the Brotherhood of Light. The Hermetic Brotherhood was structured with three leaders, a seer, a scribe/secretary, and an astrologer. Burgoyne became the scribe. As Burgoyne understood it, the Brotherhood of Light was an occult order formed to oppose the dominant religious powers of the day in ancient Egypt. As the members died, they continued the brotherhood from their new plane of being.
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...
The material for THE TWELVE ASTROLOGICAL HOUSES: The Way of
Creative Accomplishment, was written in 1943-44, immediately
following THE ZODIAC as THE UNIVERSAL MATRIX. Like its companion
book, it is one of Rudhyar's most accessible and easy-to-read
works. It provides comprehensive descriptions of each of the ten
astrological planets in each of the twelve astrological houses. In
common with THE UNIVERSAL MATRIX, the astrological interpretations
are more striking, psychological and critical than what we came to
expect from Rudhyar during the second half of the 20th century. The
electronic publication includes hyperlinks to the birth charts of
dozens of interesting example nativities.
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. This is a whirlwind tour across the stars that challenges us to look at ourselves and others with newly opened eyes. 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.
THE ZODIAC as THE UNIVERSAL MATRIX is not only one of Rudhyar's
most accessible and easy-to-read books, it is also the only book in
which Rudhyar provides comprehensive descriptions of each of the
ten astrological planets in each of the twelve signs of the zodiac;
and the descriptions themselves are more striking, psychological
and critical than what we came to expect from Rudhyar during the
second half of the 20th century. Written during 1942, it uses the
birth charts of many world leaders of the time as examples.
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 |
