This esoteric classic contains meditations on each of the twelve
signs of the zodiac. John Jocelyn uses traditional astrological
symbolism to envision a Christ-centered zodiac-one in which each of
the signs relate to an aspect of the New Testament. This is not a
book about astrology, but about the deeper meaning of the twelve
Zodiac signs. The author relates the Zodiac signs to the
development of inner Christ consciousness and encourages readers to
meet their individual destinies more consciously and courageously
and even with gratitude.
This is the new and expanded version of Day-Signs, originally
published in 1991. In this edition there are some content and
organizational changes in the introductory chapters, the listings
of people born under each of the day-signs has been expanded, and
the day-sign look-up tables now go to 2029. The original
delineations of the 20 day-signs remain at the heart of the book,
and these have been updated to include the author's latest
insights. They are the first ever to be described in psychological
terms, and the only ones produced by the analysis of over 400
examples. For those interested in astrology, it may come as a
surprise to learn that the Maya and Aztecs of ancient Mexico and
Central America had developed a comprehensive system of signs and
cycles, very little of which has survived in the indigenous
population to the present day. Tantalizing pieces of this
astrological system do exist but there are many parts missing. One
thing is known, however, and that is the central role of the 20
named days called day-signs. It is the reconstruction and
reinterpretation of these symbolic images that is the subject of
this book. The 20 day-signs are like a zodiac - a cycle of
development that moves through various stages from origin to
completion. Each of the day-signs has distinct qualities and as the
20 signs cycle through the calendar dates, they move with a
secondary cycle of 13 numbers that deepen meanings. Finally, after
13 cycles of the 20 day-signs and 20 cycles of the 13 numbers, the
larger cycle, called the Tzolkin by the Maya and Tonalpouhalli by
the Aztecs, begins again. This 260-day cycle is at the core of the
ancient astrology of the Americas and an understanding of it is a
prerequisite to comprehending the other components of the system.
Here, in this book, is a modern interpretation of each of the
signs, translated from an ancient mindset into the shared reality
of the present. Even though the rediscovery of ancient native
American astrology is far from complete, readers will be fascinated
that significant variations in personality, discovered in a strange
culture a long time ago, are just as relevant today.

From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures
and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement
of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been
the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The
practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our
understanding of ourselves and the world around us. While
modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological
knowledge, their lineage reaches back to ancient Mesopotamia. As
author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in
TASCHEN's Library of Esoterica series, astronomy and astrology were
once sister sciences: the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid at
Giza was built to align with constellations, Persian scholars
oversaw some of the first observatories, and even Galileo cast
horoscopes for the Medicis. But with the Enlightenment and the
birth of exact science, the practice moved to places where mystery
was still permitted, inspiring literature, art, and psychology, and
influenced artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Byron, and Blake.
Later movements like the Theosophists and the New Agers, would
thrust the practice into the mainstream. Edited by Jessica Hundley,
this vibrant visual history of Western astrology is the first ever
compendium of its kind, exploring the symbolic meaning behind more
than 400 images, from Egyptian temples and illuminated manuscripts
to contemporary art from across the globe. Works by artists from
Alphonese Mucha and Hilma af Klint to Arpita Singh and Manzel
Bowman are sequenced to mirror the spin of the planets and the
wheel of the zodiac. With wisdom from new interviews with
astrologers like Robert Hand, Jessica Lanyadoo, and Mecca Woods,
Astrology celebrates the stars and their mysterious influence on
our everyday lives. About the series The Library of Esoterica
explores how centuries of artists have given form to mysticism,
translating the arcane and the obscure into enduring, visionary
works of art. Each subject is showcased through both modern and
archival imagery culled from private collectors, libraries, and
museums around the globe. The result forms an inclusive visual
history, a study of our primal pull to dream and nightmare, and the
creative ways we strive to connect to the divine.
