Born William Frederick Allan in 1860, Leo knocked about in his early years. As he wrote of himself, ,,"."it was not until his thirtieth year, in 1890, when the progressed Jupiter arrived at the place of the radical Sun, that the effect of the radical Asc. conjunct Saturn was removed and a period of prosperity commenced, for in that year the Astrologer's Magazine (now Modern Astrology) was commenced, and all other pursuits were put on one side in order to take up the study of Astrology as a life work. Thenceforward all other progressed positions, no matter how severe or evil, must be moderated by this benefic progress of Jupiter over the Sun, trine Moon; for to considerably accentuate this benefic influence, Jupiter at the same time by progression reaches the parallel of the Sun at birth, a position which will remain in force for a great many years." "(Progressed Horoscope, pgs. 228-9) Among other duties, Alan Leo and his associates had a lively mail-order chart business, and wrote and published many books and articles. He died in 1917. Of his seven major books, Charles Carter famously said," "They were not well put together but one could find a very great deal of information in them if one knew where to look."" This is one of the best books on progressions ever written. Look carefully and you will find a great many things in it.
He was the Jeane Dixon of the early 20th century, psychic advisor to world-famous names in politics, entertainment, and royalty. But he lied about his own name, calling himself-when not answering to "Cheiro"-"Count Louis Hamon" though he was of rather more humble origin. So it's your call: Can trust him to accurately assess your character based solely on the month of your birth? In this book, first published in 1912, he "reveals": . which birth month is known for producing people who are "excellent in diplomacy," who "dazzle their listeners by their wit and brilliancy" . which month sees the arrival of those "inclined to become wrapped up in themselves and their own ideas" . when "very lonely" people are born . which month produces "good literary critics" . and more. Irish occultist Cheiro-aka WILLIAM JOHN WARNER (1866-1936)-wrote a number of books, including Palmistry for All and Cheiro's Guide to the Hand. Among his famous followers were Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde.
I once had a nice 20th century ephemeris, with good, clean, easy to read layouts, eclipses at the very top of the page where I could find them, lunar phases and void-of-course that I could actually make sense of, with a nice, clear aspectarian at the bottom. It was a French thing (later a Kansas thing - I'm a Kansas boy, I liked that), but on December 31, 2000, it ended. The "replacements" just weren't as good. I've been stranded ever since. So after years of frustration, I decided to make my own ephemeris. Halfway through the Aspectarian overwhelmed the page size. With bigger pages and a bit of extra room, I added Chiron, and I'm glad I did. For the first time in a standard ephemeris, Chiron every three days, its stations and ingresses precisely timed, as well as its declination ('Dec') given monthly. I hope this will encourage further study of this notable celestial body. The ephemeris project took longer and was more work than I expected, but I am pleased with the results. I hope you find it as useful as I do." David R. Roell In this book, daily longitudes and declination, for Midnight, GMT, for the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune Pluto and the true node. Daily Sidereal Time. Complete aspectarian, including declinations. Last aspect and lunar ingress. Lunations and eclipses. Ayanamsa, Julian day, mean node and SVP (Synthetic Vernal Point) given monthly. In the Introductory, the key to computing a daily mean node, an explanation of the Julian day, and the Ayanamsa defined, with instructions how to use it. Additionally, how to compute Nakshatras, with a handy list of all 27 (28). David R. Roell started his study of astrology in 1983.Since 1993, he has run The Astrology Center of America.
Sepharial (1864-1929) had a life-long dislike of luck. He challenged himself to find what he called "scientific rules" that would eliminate chance. And, according to his own accounts, he succeed. In Law of Values, he suggests buying stocks immediately after they have been clobbered by Saturn, with the price as low as it will get, and then selling the stock immediately after being hit by Jupiter, when the price is likely to be as high as it will ever go. And living off dividends between the two. In The Silver Key, a book on horse-racing, Sepharial examines, and discards, conventional numerology, colours and symbols, in favor of a method based on the Moon, weights and tides. His results are impressive. The Arcana, or Stock and Share Key, was one of a number of secret financial manuscripts which Sepharial sold by subscription only. In it, you will discover the secret to using the Meridian in day trading. Sepharial also gives instructions for using dispositors and decans. This is first time the Arcana has appeared in print. Astrologers looking to improve their techniques, as well as investors looking to improve their portfolios, will find these books of interest.

Samuel Jeake (1652-1699) was a merchant and nonconformist of Rye in Sussex with a passionate interest in astrology. His diary is here published for the first time; in it he not only recorded the events of his life in detail but subjected them to astrological scrutiny, interspersing his text with horoscopes. The resulting work is one of the most interesting seventeenth-century diaries to be published this century, throwing new light on the history both of astrology and on the topics with which this is juxtaposed in the course of the book - commercial, medical, religious, and intellectual. The text is prefaced by a lengthy and illuminating introduction which sets the diary in context. Apart from giving a full account of this little-known personality, it makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the preoccupations and priorities of Jeake's age, and not least the rationale and affiliations of astrology in the age of the Financial Revolution.
By the time one finishes reading the book the following astronomically and cosmographically verifiable facts emerge: There are 28 days to each lunar month, 364 days to each lunar year and 13 months to each lunar year. The 365,366 days years are FALSE concepts. It is the starry designs that form the background to each lunar month that constitute the ZODIAC SIGNS. There are therefore THIRTEEN Zodiac signs. OPHIUCHUS - The serpent holder - which is between Scorpio and Sagittarius, is the one which has been denied existence. The fact that no month is more than 28 days long puts a question mark on the concept of Leap Day and leap year... on all the 30-day and 31 day months. And why are SEPT-OCTO-NOVEM-DECEM no longer SEVEN -EIGHT-NINE-TEN as far as our CALENDAR goes? It seems all our BIRTHDATES, ZODIAC SIGNSand our VERY CALENDAR are FALSELY CALCUALTED Even though GALACTIC SUNS and PLANETARY GALAXIES are all seen as BALLS OF LIGHT in infinite space, Galactic Suns differentiate themselves by the compactness of their LIGHT The fact that our telescopes show only Galaxies and Galactic Suns as the smallest UNITS, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SEPARATE OR SEPARABLE SOLAR SYSTEM. SO THE CREATION STORY IN GENESIS CHAPTER ONE IS COSMOGRAPHICALLY AND ASTRONOMICALLY UNTENABLE. It is only the concept of the Galactic Solar System which enables us to see why there are 2000 years to the so-called MILLENIUM.Our galaxy orbits its galactic sun over a period of 26,000 years The thirteen ZODIAC SIGNS of the Planetary Zodiac, are duplicated by the Greater Zodiac of Thirteen 2,000 year MILLENIA. We are at the brink of entering THE AGE OF AQUARIUS as we leave the AGE OF PISCES... THE AGE OF THE SIGN OF THE CHRISTOS... FISHES

Often referred to as the "wounded healer," astrological Chiron reveals what it means to be truly, wisely human. Chiron: The Wisdom of a Deeply Open Heart presents a thorough examination of the psychological, mythological and evolutionary meanings in the symbol of Chiron based in Gainsburg's extensive clinical experience working with individuals and couples. He lays out the Chironic landscape of the Soul by examining the origin of the 'sacred wound, ' the psyche's defenses and emotional reality of the wound resurfacing later in life, and how the wound becomes our 'sacred medicine' or our unique and embodied wisdom. Most notable is an original method of effectively interpreting Chiron's polarity position within an evolution of consciousness framework. Includes a general and refreshing exploration of astrological polarity in light of leading insights into the nature of evolving consciousness; a look at the meaning of Chiron's glyph; Chiron through the signs and houses; in-depth examinations of the sacred wound, the medicine, the broken-open heart and the medicine-walk archetypes; the karmic implications of Chironic placement; Chiron retrograde; and the popular article, "The Chiron-Moon Connection."

The definitive text on Primary Directions, written by a 20th century master. Sepharial (1864-1929) was one of the leading astrologers in the early 20th century English astrological revival. Primaries were his favorite means of forecasting. Primaries, unlike simple transits or secondary directions, are not immediately obvious to the average student. So in this book, the author starts with the basic definitions. He then explains how to calculate directions in mundo, directions in the zodiac, as well as parallel directions. He suggests methods of organization and describes what effects primary directions may produce. In the process he gives an overview of the three main schools of forecasting: The Fatalists, the Casuists, and the Idealists, and gives the pros and cons of each. Sepharial then discusses the two major individuals behind primaries. These are Claudius Ptolemy, who invented the semi-arc (primary) method in the second century AD, and the 17th century Italian monk, Placidus de Titis, who devised the complex house system that enabled primaries to be calculated easily and rapidly. Sepharial next tackles directions under Poles, which were a favorite of R.C. Smith, the first of several men known as "Raphael." Then, the resolution of problems unique to Primaries: The proper method to calculate the Part of Fortune (Oblique Ascension/ Descension, rather than simple zodiacal longitudes), various unique challenges with primary directions and the moon, and the true way to calculate directions to house cusps, along with some novel shortcuts. This book, originally entitled Directional Astrology, was the revised and expanded successor to the author's earlier Prognostic Astrology. It is alsosuperior to his better known Primary Directions Made Easy. Using this system, Sepharial made many notable forecasts, most famously that of the end of World War I and the abdication of the Kaiser. Interest in this fascinating system has increased since the mid-1990's. This is the finest book ever published on the subject, one that will repay study.

This book is an English translation of Book 24 of the Astrologia Gallica, in which Morin explains the proper use of Transits to pinpoint the time when a predicted event will occur. He first criticizes the various types of symbolic directions used by other astrologers of his day and then sets forth his own method of prediction with numerous examples. The nature and time of an event in a person's life can be determined from his Natal Horoscope, its Primary Directions, Solar and Lunar Returns and their Primary Directions, and concordant Transits. By following the method that he sets forth, it is sometimes possible to determine the exact Day when the event signified by a radical Primary Direction will occur. Morin was a physician who became the most renowned of all French astrologers. He was appointed Royal Mathematician to King Louis XIII and was summoned to be present at the birth of the royal heir, the future King Louis XIV. The present volume also contains example charts drawn for the actual times of significant events in the lives of a number of 17th century celebrities; each chart is accompanied by a explanation of how the several factors combined to produce the events at the times shown. The book closes with two chapters setting forth general instructions for determining the precise time of events and a final chapter with valuable rules for reading natal horoscopes. James Herschel Holden is Research Director of the American Federation of Astrologers.

The Signs of the Times is a fascinating account of how time and history follow an astrological structure. This structure consists of astrological ages that are chronicled from before the Age of Cancer, and the invention of agriculture around the world, to the present end of the Age of Pisces, and the much-prophesied Apocalyptic end of the world. Within this pattern an end-time cycle emerges that explains the Apocalyptic energies that we see around us today. Astrology also promises, in the coming Age of Aquarius, a new golden age and gives us indications of what needs to be done to survive this end-time. ~~~~~Robert FitzGerald is an artist, photographer, and theoretical astrologer.
