Over the centuries astrology has been a source of help to many
people. Today, Jungian depth psychology has proven to be of great
value in the therapy process. In this book, Alice O. Howell has
successfully merged the wisdom of both disciplines, forming a warm
and symbiotic relationship between them. Presented as a series of
semi-autobiographical letters to an analyst friend, the author
presents her ideas with a rare combination of humor and wisdom. It
is an exciting, landmark work that brings into play the insights of
Carl Jung alongside those of respected astrologers such as Marc
Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar. Why and how astrology connects to
the spiritual dimension is the underlying thrust of this book in
which each chapter presents insightful, thought-provoking ideas and
concepts that will help the reader better understand the chart from
an esoteric perspective. Specific chapters focus on each of the
planets, chart symbolism, karma, causality and synchronicity, ego
and self, and the meaning of the chart. About this book, reviewers
wrote: ...Jungian Symbolism in Astrology has an intimate and
personal flavor that makes it an extraordinary pleasure to read.
Richard Nolle, Dell Horoscope ...it can be enjoyed and understood
by anyone with an interest in either Jung, astrology, or both.

This book contains a translation of the Eight Books of the Mathesis
by the 4th century astrologer Julius Firmicus Maternus along with
some useful Indexes of Occupations, the Causes of Death, and
Personal Characteristics. The Eight Books are: Book I: An essay on
what astrology is Book II: The twelve signs Book III: Aspects and
house placement of planets Book IV: Chart Interpretation Book V:
The angles and the terms Book VI: The aspects Book VII: Life and
death Book VIII: The degrees of the signs James H. Holden, who
translated the text from the Latin, is Research Director of the
American Federation of Astrologers. A well respected astrological
scholar, he has translated more than twenty astrology books that
were written between the 2nd and 17th centuries. He is also the
author of A History of Horoscopic Astrology
In ABC Basic Chart Reading, well-known astrologer Lynne Palmer has
created the ideal guide to chart reading for students at all levels
as well as practicing astrologers. Using harmonious and discordant
aspects in combination with the houses, house rulers, and planets,
she explains and simplifies the steps involved in reading and
interpreting any chart. By combining all of these factors while
using her step-by-step method, you can easily gain insight into the
individual. ABC Basic Chart Reading includes extensive lists of
people, events, situations, and traits associated with each house
and planet. In addition, the chapter on planets has descriptions
that express both the higher and lower vibrations of each planet's
energy. Using these planetary descriptions, which are divided into
two categories (harmonious and discordant), you'll find it easy to
identify the many factors that describe the individual, and to take
your chart interpretation skills to a new level of excellence.
Traditional Astrology for Today introduces modern astrologers to
the vibrant traditional revival currently underway. Ranging from
philosophies of life to predictive techniques, a leading expert and
prolific translator of older Latin works explains the usefulness
and importance of traditional astrology.
The Nativity of the Late King Charles, written by the astrologer
John Gadbury only ten years after the King's execution in 1649 and
towards the end of England's only time as a republic, is a
fascinating glimpse not only into the history of a divided and
revolutionary era but also in the manner that a 17th century
astrologer set about his craft. Walking the fine diplomatic line
between presenting Charles I as neither tyrant nor martyr, Gadbury
addresses his astrology-versed readers in the delightfully humble
yet florid language of his day. Constantly begging our forgiveness
for his presumption in examining the horoscopes of the illustrious,
he doesn't shirk in delivering a suitably barbed comment when it's
due. Above all it is illuminating to see how the interpretation of
an astrological chart has changed so very little since 1659. Via
John Gadbury, humanity, history and astrology have spanned the
centuries to reach us today.
In this definitive book, Bernice Prill Grebner focuses on the
decanates and their importance in taking chart interpretation to
the next, and a much deeper, level. All 36 decanates are delineated
in detail, including a complete explanation of every degree of
every sign. Using both keywords and thorough explanations, she
guides the reader through the physical, mental, and spiritual
meanings of the decanates and also explains how to use the
planetary rulers of the decanates in chart interpretation. Using
these methods, you will gain fresh insights into each chart. One
chapter is devoted to synastry and aspects and how the patterns of
the decanates and dwads influence relationships, both initially and
over time. Another chapter focuses on the houses and interpreting
them through the use of the Ascendant's decanate. The author also
disusses the influence of dwads and navamsas, and presents a system
of individual degree meanings. Each of these is delineated for ease
in interpretation and can be used with all planets in the chart.
Pandit Bhambi's earlier book Vedic Sun Signs deals in detail with
the personality characteristics of people born under each Vedic Sun
Sign and each of the Sun nakshatras. In this book, he has used this
system to bring an accurate picture of the coming year for the
twelve sun signs. In addition to the forecasts of different areas
of one's life. Pandit Bhambi has also given the unique "Yukti" for
each month under each Sun Sign. Yukti is practical in nature and
something that can be done to prepare oneself for what life has to
offer. It is different from the upayas which are done after an
event takes place. The second section of this book is on Love
Signs; the combination of each Vedic Sun Sign with all the other
twelve Sun Signs. Readers will be fascinated to note the
distinctive characteristics brought out by Pandit Bhambi. He
provides the reader with a vivid picture bringing our effectively
the nuances in a relationship which would help in building a deeper
understanding. He brings out the uniqueness in relationships based
on the combinations of the various Sun Signs. The readers will get
an insight and a novel perspective of the behavioural
characteristics of their partner on reading this section.
Planetary Strength - a commentary on Morinus is an intermediate
level textbook on natal horoscope interpretation. Taking as its
point of departure Astrologia Gallica by Jean Baptiste Morin de
Villefranche (1583 - 1656), Planetary Strength explains the
differences between the strengths conferred upon planets by virtue
of their sign placements (celestial state), house placements
(terrestrial state) and aspects (aspectual state). A detailed
system of keywords is augmented by insightful "cookbook"
interpretations for each and every planetary combination. The depth
and quality of the analysis - as well as the hundreds of practical
examples and tips - make Planetary Strength an essential reference
work which both neophyte and experienced practitioners will consult
every time they read a horoscope.

This little wok is designed to instruct the mind as yet
unacquainted with the phenomena of eclipses, and to counteract the
prejudice which affirms without examination that these phenomena
are in no way connected with mundane events. In dealing with this
subject, the author shall have occasion to speak of eclipses of the
Sun and Moon not only in their physical causative relations, but
also in their symbolic and prognostic relations. Contents: natural
causes of an eclipse; eclipses of the sun and moon; historical
eclipses; calculate an eclipse of the sun and moon; eclipse signs
and indications; the decanates; transits over eclipse points;
individuals and eclipses.
Geodetic astrology literally means 'World' astrology. The Geodetic
Equivalent concept was originally a house cusp structure calculated
for any geographic location, and a natal chart inserted within it
can be used for personal relocation in order to emphasise or
alleviate specific points on that chart. The chart of an eclipse,
lunation, or Great Conjunction can also be inserted within its cusp
structure for mundane astrology, observing angular emphasis in
forecasting. The concept has now been advanced to place the zodiac
across a map of the world for a quick glance at where a planet's
position or even an eclipse degree would have its greatest
influence, pinpointing global "hot" spots for a notable event. It
could indicate the escalation of political activity and societal
tension, predict the potential of an earthquake or a volcanic
eruption, or indicate extreme weather conditions due to shifts in
ocean currents. This book is a fascinating compilation of the
author's countless years of study in the application of both
mundane astrology and personal relocation. It can be understood by
any level of astrological student due to the many examples, stories
and explanatory text and will no doubt provide inspiration for
further research.
1922. A copy of the lesson first issued to members of The
Brotherhood of Light. A valuable addition to the libraries of
students of natal astrology, as well as students of religion and
spirit. The ethical ideas symbolized by a constellation provides
excellent text for astrological teachers delivering sermons.
