For richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, you and your
partners will meet again and again, over many lifetimes, until you
work out the kinks. There's just no way to skirt the issue - your
soul needs relationships to evolve. This is the law of
relationships, and in this classic work author Jeffrey Wolf Green
clearly illustrates the evolutionary and karmic progression of two
people throughout many lifetimes. By incorporating past-life
dynamics with modern astrology, Green creates a powerful new
paradigm ... evolutionary astrology. Pluto: Volume II elucidates
Green's theory that once you understand your past life dynamics,
symbolized by Pluto, you will be able to focus on key astrological
principles and methods that propel you forward. If you're tired of
making the same mistakes again and again... isn't it time that you
resolve to evolve?
This volume examines the specific role of horoscopic astrology in
Western culture from antiquity to the nineteenth century. Focusing
on the public appearance of astrological rhetoric, the essays break
new ground for a better understanding of the function of horoscopes
in public discourse. The volume's three parts address the use of
imperial horoscopes in late antiquity, the transformation of
doctrines and rhetorics in Islamic medieval contexts, and the
important status of astrology in early modern Europe. The
combination of in-depth historical studies and methodological
considerations results in an important contribution to religious
and cultural studies.
In recent years, our society has witnessed a resurgence in
astrology that has elevated that durable art form to a level of
popularity it hasn't enjoyed since the eve of western European
Renaissance. In what has thus far been a relatively successful
attempt to cash in on the triumphs of twentieth-centiry science and
technology, contemporary astrologers unashamedly claim far and wide
that their craft is rationally consistent, that it is
scientifically based, and, above all, that "it works."
In The Gemini Syndrome, two professional astronomers have produced
a highly readable and well-referenced response to claims by
astrologers that their theories are scientifically based. The
authors elucidate the glaring internal inconsistencies associated
with many of the basic concepts of "modern" astrology. They trace
the historical development of the celestial "twins" of astronomy
and astrology and leave little doubt concerning the differences,
both historical and modern, between astronomical science and
astrological art-form.
The book's most telling chapters are those dealing with the
empirical evidence concerning the supposed astrological influences.
Culver and Ianna offer the reader what is the most complete summary
of the available data about sun-signs, houses, and aspects. In
every instance the empirical astrologer is found to have no clothes
on
Finally, the oft-stated claim that "astrology works" is
investigated and laid to rest under the debris of more than three
thousand "busted" predictions made by the astrologers themselves,
ranging from the start of World War III to the existence of an
"anti-earth" orbiting on the other side of the sun.
New Age divination techniques like tarot and astrology are hotter
than ever, and in this new volume of our successful Mythographic
series, Fabiana Attanasio explores the symbolism and artistry of
these ancient arts. With spectacular detail and imagination, these
intricate illustrations will delight any serious colourist with an
interest in mysticism.

Including 19 Nobel Prize winners, this work presents a statement
given by 192 scientists, who call the science of astrology a
deception based on magic and superstition.
This beautifully illustrated guide is the perfect gift for infusing magic into everyday life through a variety of practices including astrology, witchcraft, tarot, crystals, and magical recipes and spells.
Magic lives within all of us. It is our intuition, our power, our inner wisdom, and the energy we put out into the world. You don’t need to have a special gift to practice magic. You also don’t need to be defined as anything other than yourself to practice magic. Magicka demystifies the world of magic, making its concepts, terms, and practices accessible and approachable. Magicka emboldens modern mystics with ancient wisdom to embark on a journey of self-exploration by helping to connect us with our spiritual selves, and to tap into and trust our intuition in order to be confident and empowered in any situation, as well as for self-care, healing, and general wellness.
Through the guidance of author Carlota Santos, readers will discover how to harness the magic within themselves and manifest it in their lives. They will learn the energy of each astrological sign, how to set up a sacred space, and how to grow and maintain a magical garden and harness the energy properties of plants and herbs in a spell or ritual. There’s also a guide to using essential stones and crystals (for example, when the moon is in Taurus, summon the powers of rose quartz and sapphire for self-love) as well recipes and rituals of all kinds. Seeking romantic love? Try the Gaelic Beltane ritual for attracting love, which includes a flower bath and candle ceremony. Or strengthen self-reflection and inner brightness with a ritual using white candles, wooden boxes, and laurel and lion’s tooth leaves during the summer solstice celebration of Litha. Jam-packed with fun and easy-to-digest information in a beautiful, gifty package, Magicka is the ultimate resource for magic novices and experts alike.
Long have humans looked to the stars for guidance in their lives,
but what about the destiny of their cats? On the surface, cats may
seem to care about very little other than finding the sunniest
spots to nap or the best boxes to hide in, but they have higher
paths, greater purposes and truer callings in life. Providing
insight into the signs, the stars and the elements and how they
affect every aspect of a cat's life, with horoscopes, tarot and paw
readings for mystic moggies, this book is the perfect guide to the
secrets of the cat zodiac.
In a time when astrological analysis can begin within seconds of an
on-screen click, we do not often consider the methods that were
previously used to individually calculate a chart as correctly and
simply as possible. This text contains the fundamental processes of
attaining astrological data so that we may understand and benefit
from this tradition which grants us infinite knowledge, reflection,
and growth. Concise, descriptive, at times even poetic, Simplified
Scientific Astrology includes instructions and examples on
accurately determining planetary positions for a given time and
location, and demonstrates an organized method of indexing to
derive overall conditions and effects. The second, extensive
portion of the book is an encyclopedia of astrological terms which
defines these distinctly and lucidly. The work of this master of
Astrology is complemented through this elegantly restored volume.
Within these pages, Max Heindel succinctly elaborates the
procedures of astrological calculation and the integral concepts of
this tremendous discipline.
