First written in 1953, and now integrated into Astrological work
globally, Dr Jones includes in his ground-breaking comprehensive
text, for each of the 360 degrees of the zodiac: the symbolical
picture, an interpretation in present-day psychological
significance, a keyword for use in quick or at sight analysis, the
positive and negative influences, the formula to determine the
relationship between these symbols, and illustrated with 1000
horoscopes of well-known people. Detailed explanations of their
origin, use in the natal, mundane and rectification charts gives
the reader an unparalleled opportunity to learn directly from the
source that envisioned their profound effect in all types of
astrological practice.
In western astrology we have grown accustomed to perceiving the
Sun's path as circular: the years revolve and the days and months
return again, the 360 degrees of the zodiac go round in a ring. But
the Sun has an up and down path too. It climbs steps of declination
from each equinox to solstice and descends again from solstice to
equinox. It marks off time in a different way which gives an
extraordinary view, and adds an extra breadth to the meaning and
movement of the heavenly bodies. This comprehensive work not only
covers the technique of declination, but it is full of the
fascinating myths and traditions which form the cornerstone of our
culture - it will therefore be of great interest to anyone who
follows the natural rhythm of the solar and lunar festivals in the
course of their everyday lives.
Whether you're a beginning student or a practicing professional,
Horoscope Symbols takes you beyond your present conception of
astrology into a whole new realm of understanding. Horoscope
Symbols takes the beginner beyond cookbook interpretations to
genuine insight, beyond superficial keywords to the fundamental
principles that underlie astrology, beyond overemphasis on signs to
the primacy of planets and angles. Although Hand assumes little
prior knowledge of astrology, the more you know, the more you will
get out of this book. Hand takes the expert beyond the fatalism of
tradition to a deep understanding of the role of personal choice in
the life of the individual, beyond fortune telling to the true
source of human experience.

twelve Houses and the Aspects. The emphasis throughout is on

influences and showing how they combine to shape our lives and our
potential for growth. The third part, Putting the Pieces Together,

birth chart and interpreting it. Thoroughly practical, but with a
wealth of historical and cultural detail, as well as superb
illustrations and photographs, this is a landmark in astrological

astrological books of our time. It not only reshapes the view of
astrology that astrologers might have; it challenges the entire

civilisation. It shows that astrology is not only important in and
of itself, but also for what it reveals about the nature of truth
and our experience in general. (Robert Hand).

dimension to the science and art of astrology and to New Age
thought. It addresses the influence, meaning and relevance of the
one forgotten planet in our horoscopes - the Earth upon which we

This compilation of house cusps is an authoritative reference for
the accurate division of the zodiac into twelve houses. Designed to
meet the most demanding needs of astrologers and those doing
astrological research, the tables cover the range of latitudes from
0 to 66 degrees and list all cusps to one-tenth of a minute of arc.
The tables list the cusps at even four minute intervals of sidereal
time, making linear interpolation practical and straightforward.
There are 360 separate tables of house cusps with each showing the
house cusps for latitudes 0 to 66 degrees at a single value of
sidereal time. At the top of each table the sidereal time is
printed in hours, minutes, and seconds on the left, and in degrees,
minutes, and seconds on the right. Since the Midheaven remains the
same for all latitudes, it is printed once at the top of the page,
and because of its importance is listed to a precision of one
second of arc The general rule for finding southern latitude cusps
is to add twelve hours to the sidereal time, look up the cusps as
if the latitude were north, and then reverse the zodiacal sign of
all the cusps found. This process is made easier in this volume
through the use of separate headings for southern latitudes at the
bottom of each table. Instead of adding twelve hours to the
sidereal time, use the sidereal time headings at the bottom of the
page when locating the proper table. This gives the same table that
would be found by adding the twelve hours and using the northern
latitude headings. It is usually necessary to interpolate to find
cusps for an exact time or latitude that falls between two listings
in the tables. Interpolation is the process of finding a small
correction to be added or subtracted from a cusp in the tables to
compensate for the difference between the value of the cusp at the
listed sidereal time or latitude and the value of the cusp at the
actual sidereal time or latitude. Generally speaking, interpolation
must be done twice for each cusp: a correction for the sidereal
time and another for the latitude. The Midheaven need only be
corrected for sidereal time since it remains the same at all
latitudes. It is no surprise that the difficulty of interpolation
depends upon the accuracy required. Included in this book are
explicit instructions for three techniques for finding the house
cusps, each of which gives successively more accurate results. All
tables needed for all three techniques are included in the book.
Horary astrology is a fascinating and exacting technique, and here
is the perfect book to hone your skills. Author Petros
Eleftheriadis presents over fifty valid charts taken from his
client files which demonstrate, in clear steps, how to reach an
answer. He stresses the importance of starting with the correct
question; for instance, he doesn't accept 'Should I?' questions,
saying 'Astrology charts cannot possibly show something that will
NEVER materialize, something that will never become reality, so
they cannot show how your life would be, had you made another
decision.' So rather than asking whether you will win the lottery
if you buy a ticket, the correct action would be to buy the ticket
and then ask if you will win. Ideal for students and professionals
with some knowledge of horary astrology.
The science of esoteric astrology is said to be the basic occult
science for the future. It will come into its own as the esoteric
or soul factors begin to supersede the exoteric focus of the vast
majority of professional and amateur astrologers today. This is the
science which deals with those conditioning and governing energies
and forces which play through and upon the whole field of space and
all that is found within that field. The Ancient Wisdom teaches
that Space is an entity. It is with the life of this entity and
with the forces and energies, the impulses and the rhythms, the
cycles and the times and seasons, that esoteric astrology deals.
Esoteric astrology can be applied by the trained worker in a
variety of ways; in medicine, psychology, science, education; to an
evaluation of human problems, of the destiny of nations, of a
correct interpretation of world affairs, and so on. It is
necessary, however, that at this stage the application of esoteric
astrology to human life should be recognised as experimental and
tentative, so that each individual worker can adjust his thinking
and his methods according to his own wrought-out experience. to
work depend entirely on a consciousness evolving out of control by
the personality into the life of the soul, out of separateness and
self-centredness into a realisation of unity, and absorption into a
centre of group consciousness. Astrology is described in this book
as the science of relationships - the relationship existing between
all living organisms within the universe. Not only the qualities of
the ray energies affect these centres of consciousness, but also
the quality and energy of the ruling planets and the zodiacal
signs. Seen from the exoteric outside, astrology is a vast and most
involved and complex subject. From the esoteric inside, while it is
still vast, all-inclusive and complex, it is also possible to
perceive the thread which unites and the pattern which prevails
throughout the whole system. A basic simplicity in the grand design
emerges, therefore, which can serve to interpret the whole. study:
(1) The Zodiac and the Rays (2) The Nature of Esoteric Astrology
(3) The Science of Triangles (4) The Sacred and Non-Sacred Planets
(5) Three Major Constellations (6) The Three Crosses (7) The Rays,
Constellations and Planets. In addition there is an appendix which
summarises and tabulates many of the factors of fundamental
importance to the study of esoteric astrology. This is a book for
the true occult student. It may appear to be too highly specialised
for some; but every esoteric worker finds eventually that his work
requires an understanding of the basic astrological factors which
affect all relationships and all forms of life within the ethers of
space, so that he may learn how to cooperate intelligently in the
evolution of the whole by the right adjustment of the part within
that whole; until eventually the many are absorbed into the One.
The books of Alice A. Bailey, written in cooperation with a Tibetan

form of service; the teaching on the seven rays and the new
psychology of the soul; the teaching on esoteric astrology; and the
new world religion, which emphasizes the common thread of truth
linking all the major world faiths.

A decumbiture chart, taken from the time a patient 'takes to their
bed' (Latin decumbere, to lie down), is a traditional technique
used in medical astrology to help discover the causes of an illness
and to ascertain if the treatment is working and whether recovery
is likely. Very few of us have the luxury of taking to our beds
these days but the time for a doctor's appointment or the onset of
a fever for example are equally valid and the resulting chart can
be very informative. Wanda Sellar teaches the techniques in a clear
and easily understandable format then demonstrates their use in a
wide variety of case histories
