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."

Spica Award: International Book of the Year, 2001. The astrology that is ubiquitous today is quite different from astrology as practised throughout almost all of its long history. The dilute and distorted version with which we are so familiar is not the study that has fascinated so many of the finest minds in our culture with its intellectual depth and practical precision. John Frawley provides a searching - and often hilarious - critique of modern astrology, and a detailed introduction to all the main branches of the traditional craft. Accessible to those with no prior knowledge of the subject, yet sufficiently through to serve as a vade mecum for the student or practitioner.

The personal panchanga is the secret key in vedic astrology to understanding the deeper levels of your chart, and this book will help decode it. Panchanga is the Indian Almanac used from ancient times to tabulate the effect of many diverse cosmic factors that influence the quality of the day. Panch means five, and Anga means limbs, so panchanga literally means five limbs - or the five sources of energy through which the luminaries have to pass in order to reach consciousness. The panchanga on the day of the birth effects our physical energy, mental makeup, emotional connections, practical desires and our sense of security. It additionally tells of the gunas, Ayurvedic doshas, prakriti, chakras, the five great elements, dysfunctional or burnt signs, the good luck points, the lucky and unlucky planets, how to choose the right name, the best career options, relationship compatibility and much more. After reading this book, you may wonder how you ever analysed the natal chart without it.

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.

The author appropriately terms planetary directions as co-determinants of fate. Rather than view directions as simply fateful, he sees them as life companions along with the many other circumstances, conditions, and influences that shape life and human destiny. With this central philosophy in mind, the author first defines planetary directions and their significance in astrological forecasting. More than 100 examples illustrate the important planetary factors involved in both favorable and unfavorable relationships, separations, births, miscarriages, accidents and injuries, illness and surgery, and success and failure. There are also chapters devoted to directions involving Mars-Jupiter, Jupiter-Pluto, Uranus-Pluto, Mars-Neptune, and Saturn-Sun. Extensive appendices include a quick reference guide for directions involved in many specific life events.

This annual publication gives the longitudes of all the planets for each day and their latitudes and declinations for every other day, and includes tables of houses for London, Liverpool and New York.
