guidebook is the most complete introduction to astrology available.

The Chinese Zodiac is a beautifully illustrated introduction to
eastern astrology, perfect for discovering what your sign-Rat, Ox,
Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, or
Pig-says about you. Are you loyal like the Dog? Or stubborn like
the Ox? What does the time you were born have to do with who you
are? And does it determine your fate? The Chinese Zodiac doesn't
have all the answers but offers a fun and fresh perspective on the
magic behind when you were born. Known as the Bazi, or Eight Words,
the four animals and Wuxing elements associated with one's birth
make up a complete horoscope and can help you to better understand
yourself and others. Someone born in the year of the Pig, for
example, comes last in the cycle and embodies qualities of release,
completion, and return, indulging in the rich after-hours of life
that favor food, love, and good company. A Rat, on the other hand,
comes first; they're ambitious and eager to begin new projects but
might have trouble seeing them through. No matter your sign, there
is something to be uncovered in these pages. Charmingly
illustrated, with sidebars on Chinese culture and myth throughout,
this book is an informative and mystical guide to knowing just a
little more about the universe-and how you fit into it.

"Are you interested in the following topics? Are astrological
predictions reliable? How often is black magic used in our modern
Western world? What are the dangers of misusing occult power? What
is the truth behind haunted houses? Do UFOs exist and do beings
from other worlds visit our planet? This is a comprehensive book
containing a wide range of topics from astrology and occultism to
spiritism and the interactions of beings from the other worlds with
our human world. As a true spiritual Master with free access to the
various inner worlds, Sri Chinmoy is able to offer one of the few
authoritative and definitive explanations of these phenomena. In
the course of his numerous public meditations and university
lectures around the world, Sri Chinmoy was asked thousands of
questions on occultism, astrology, flying saucers, extraterrestrial
beings and similar subjects. This book presents some of the most
interesting of these questions and Sri Chinmoys answers."
Light on Life brings the insight and wisdom of Indian astrology to
the Western reader. Jyotish, or Indian astrology, is an ancient and
complex method of exploring the nature of time and space and its
effect upon the individual. Formerly a closed book to the West, the
subject has now been clarified and explained by Hart de Fouw and
Dr. Robert Svoboda, two experts and long-term practitioners. In
Light on Life they have created a complete and thorough handbook
that can be appreciated and understood by those with very little
knowledge of astrology.
Magic and divination in early Islam encompassed a wide range of
practices, including belief in jinn, warding off the evil eye, the
production of amulets and other magical equipment, conjuring,
wonder-working, dream interpretation, predicting the weather,
casting lots, astrology, and physiognomy. The ten studies here are
concerned with the pre-Islamic antecedents of such practices, and
with the theory of magic in healing, the nature and use of amulets
and their decipherment, the arts of astrometeorology and geomancy,
the refutation of astrology, and the role of the astrologer in
society. Some of the studies are highly illustrated, some long out
of print, some revised or composed for this volume, and one
translated into English for the first time. These fundamental
investigations, together with the introductory bibliographic essay,
are intended as a guide to the concepts, terminology, and basic
scholarly literature of an important, but often overlooked, aspect
of classical Islamic culture.

understanding of yourself and the world around you. This deck has

In this exciting new book, Dr. Lehman recovers an important ancient
aspect of astrology which has become misunderstood and diluted;
rulerships. By attempting to simplify astrology, contemporary
sources have completely obscured the essential differences between
planet, sign, and house. While the novice may benefit from this
simplification, much of the old logic of the rulership system is
covered up. By researching ancient manuscripts and sources, the
ancient system of essential dignities or planetary rulerships is
recovered and made available once again to the contemporary
astrologer. What was nearly lost is given new power and the
potential for understanding. A wealth of information is presented
in a clear and concise way with many accurate charts.
The American Ephemeris 1950-2050 at Midnight, The Trans-Century
Edition, is published in response to multiple requests for a one
hundred year ephemeris covering these "most useful years." With the
years 1950 through 2050, only one ephemeris needs to be at hand,
especially when traveling, for an astrologer to do quick lookups of
both birth data and transiting data over the expected life span of
most people currently living. Since the 1976 publication of the
first version of The American Ephemeris, 1931-1980, Neil F.
Michelsen's ground-breaking series of ephemerides for astrologers
have consistently set standards for accuracy in astrology, becoming
indispensible to astrologers worldwide at every level from student
to professional. The tradition continues with the addition of this
new tropical ephemeris spanning from mid 20th century through mid
21st century. Rique Pottenger has revised and expanded the
Michelsen programming with updated Jet Propulsion Laboratory data
and improvements in the computer generating program that, for
example, enable finding double ingresses in a single day, plus more
accurate station times. A new formula increases the accuracy of the
Galactic Center calculation. Other new features have been added,
the most obvious of which are the dwarf planets Ceres and Eris, in
response to the 2006 decisions of the International Astronomical
Union. Monthly positions have also been added for the remaining
three of the former four major asteroids in wide use among
astrologers, Pallas, Juno and Vesta, and also for the centaur,
Chiron.

A practical guide on how to work out your Chinese horoscope. Though
perhaps less well-known here than its Western counterpart, Chinese
astrology is every bit as illuminating and provides an equally
valuable shortcut to self-knowledge. Jonathan Dee, the
well-respected author of several books on astrology, tarot, and
fortune-telling, reveals all the mysteries of the art in this
informative volume. Filled with legends, charts, and history, it
contains all of the essentials for working out your Chinese
horoscope including the animal signs for each birthday year, month,
and hour. Each sign receives a richly detailed and enlightening
explanation. Learn the personality traits associated with the 12
animals: - The rat is considered to be the sign of charm and is
noted for its shrewdness, enterprise, and wealth. Rats are also
prosperous, entrepreneurial, obsessive, anxious, bossy, and mean. -
The ox is the sign of tenacity and prosperity and a symbol of
fertility and muscular strength. People born under the ox are
patient, contemplative, eloquent, chauvinistic, petty, and grumpy.
- The monkey is lively, complex, charming, diplomatic, and agile.
Monkeys are also dishonest, sarcastic, lacking respect, and
restless. Chinese Astrology, Orion Plain and Simple is an
accessible introduction that enlightens, entertains, and informs.
This collection of studies by Edward Kennedy looks first at
questions of spherical astronomy, celestial mapping and planetary
models, and then deals with astrological calculations. Throughout
the author emphasises the importance of advances in mathematics for
understanding the development of medieval Arabic sciences. This
collection of studies based on previously unexploited manuscript
sources in Arabic and Persian. They were written by authors from
the 9th through the 15th centuries, whose locations reached from
south China in the east through Central Asia, the Middle and Near
East, and North Africa, to Spain in the west. The topics are
predominately astronomical rather than astrological. The former
include eclipse predictions, problems in spherical astronomy,
non-ptolemaic planetary theory, and the achievements of Ulugh Beg
and his observatory. Astrological subjects treated are the method
of calculating the ascendant, and how to determine astrological
houses and lots. An astrological history of the career of Genghis
Khan is also described.
