From ancient times, people have wanted to understand the rhythms of life and looked to the skies for answers. The Ancient Greeks and Romans turned to the celestial bodies for inspiration and devised narratives to which they referred to make decisions and choices. Maybe the options have changed, but we are still seeking wisdom and guidance in life today. Whether it's working out your ideal career, your perfect partner or to understand more about how you communicate, Liberty Phi has the answers. A student of astrology for over 20 years, in her Planet Zodiac series, Liberty will take you on a deep dive into your star sign and birth chart. Only by understanding the meaning, nature and power of each planet and how that's relevant to your birth chart – which is relevant only to you – can you really harness the power of the zodiac. You can then use this knowledge to work out how planetary patterns might influence you and how they will affect your life in a rather profound way. You will learn, for instance, what sort of impression you are likely to make when you enter a room, how you function in a group, or how spontaneous you are likely to be. Whatever your star sign, these books will help you to take an in-depth and tailored exploration of your star sign and will give you the tools to harness the zodiac and take control of your life.

Are you ready for your close-up? Be guided by the stars in this unique new tarot deck inspired by iconic film characters. Each character embodies the qualities of the archetype they represent.

Movie Tarot contains 78 cards that work as a fully functional tarot deck, plus a booklet which explains the choice of movie stars and the deeper personality traits they embody, as well as information on how to interpret the cards and conduct your own readings. Tarot cards have had a number of uses historically, including for card games, but today they are primarily used for seeking answers to questions, often as a quest for divine guidance or inspiration. Readers of all experience levels can experience the cards' answer being given in an uncanny way, revealing something hidden but recognisable in a situation or thought process. Therein lies the significance of the Major (22) and Minor (56) Arcana cards, unearthing "secrets" buried in the deeper realms of consciousness and experience.

This is the first commentary in any language on three of the books of ancient Greek astrological poetry ascribed to the Egyptian priest Manetho. Manetho, who became a figure for recondite wisdom, came to be credited with a series of didactic poems which list outcomes for planetary set-ups in a horoscope or birth chart. This book contends that we can learn a great deal from this material about the intellectual, cultural, social, and literary history of the world in which it was written-Hadrianic Egypt, and the second-century Roman Empire at large. Its descriptions of the kinds of person who are born under happy and unhappy configurations of stars speak to the lived realities, aspirations, and fears of the astrologer's clientele. Given astrology's enormous contemporary prestige, this means we are offered insights into the mental universe and values of the common man, l'homme moyen sensuel, that elite literature largely bypasses. The volume addresses current work on the emotions and popular ethics. It also brings to the fore a neglected witness to a type of imperial didactic poetry-functional, technical in content, and yet sharing a degree of artistry with better-known poets such as Dionysius the Periegete. The Manethonian poems are placed in the context of other ancient astrological literature-much of it very different in idiom, complexity, and method-but also in the wider one of other divinatory texts, philosophical writing, and the novel. There is a Greek text with English translation and an apparatus with parallel material to enable comparison with related works.

Have you lost an important object? Are you taking on a new job? Looking for buried treasure? "The Art and Practice of Geomancy" teaches readers how to divine the answers to life's everyday questions, such as health, luck, new jobs, and love, as well as the less mundane: finding buried treasure, predicting the weather, being released from prison, identifying secret enemies. Greer delivers to readers an ancient system of divination in an easy-to-use form, requiring little more than a pen and piece of paper.Using a system of odd and even numbers, from a deck of cards, roll of the dice, or even by hitting sand with a stick to generate patterns, the reader learns to cast their own geomantic chart. And for those who wish to take the practice further, he offers deeper exercises for geomantic meditation, and geomantic ritual magic. "The Art and Practice of Geomancy" will appeal to pagans, followers of the Western Mystery Tradition, scholars of folk-magic and divination, and anyone who wants to take their past, present, and future into their own hands. Each geomantic chart is, in a certain sense, a snapshot of one set of possibilities arising from the dance of the four elements in the anima mundi, and a sense of the dance itself - even if that sense is imperfect, as it may be, and wordless, as it must be - provides the context for every geomantic reading.
