This new publication of a highly popular classic lives up to its
title in presenting very clear instructions for how to learn
astrology. As the first volume of a six volume series, this book
teaches "Basic Principles" in a proven critically acclaimed method.
Part 1 explains the symbolism of signs, planets, houses and
aspects. Part 2 provides detailed delineation of each of the
planets by sign, house placement and aspect, with thorough examples
and then quizzes that allow the reader to self-test. Throughout,
March and McEvers encourage their readers to "think like an
astrologer."
This is a reference source for professional and student astrologers
alike. The book has been published annually since 1821. It gives
the longitudes of all the planets for each day and their latitudes
and declinations for every other day, and includes tables of houses
for London, Liverpool and New York. The book also contains complete
lunar and planetary aspectarians together with all the neccessary
data for casting horoscopes for all places in the world, both north
and south of the Equator.

This book has been several years in the writing - something which
becomes immediately obvious once you start reading it. Henry
Seltzer has left very few stones unturned in his quest to
understand how the archetypal Eris shows itself in a wide variety
of charts. From writers to revolutionaries and musicians to poets,
the non-negotiable and sometimes violent energy of this new
discovery bursts through to enrich and enliven any chart
delineation. This treasure trove includes lots of case histories as
well as chapters on Eris through the houses and in aspect with
other planets. A historical Appendix is also included.
In "The Weiser Concise Guide to Practical Astrology", Priscilla
Costello introduces the reader to the basic principles of modern
astrology and unveils the secrets of this elegantly developed
language of symbols. Costello shares with the reader both the
philosophical and esoteric world view of astrology, while exploring
the meanings of signs, planets, houses, and aspects on many levels,
as well as its connection to psychology, religion and spirituality,
and related esoteric studies. "The Weiser Concise Guide to
Practical Astrology" serves as both a primer for the new student of
astrology and a handy reference for the more seasoned practitioner.
As complete as it is concise, this course of study delves deeply
into the history and true spirit of astrology, making it accessible
to all.
"As above, so below" is the foundation of all star wisdom. It was
known in ancient times that there are correspondences between the
macrocosm (heavenly realm) and the microcosm (human being) and the
Earth. Astrogeographia is a modern form of that ancient star
wisdom. According to the astronomer Johannes Kepler: There radiates
into the Earth soul an image of the sense-perceptible zodiac and
the whole firmament as a bond of sympathy between Heaven and
Earth.... This imprint into the Earth soul through the
sense-perceptible zodiac and the entire sphere of fixed stars is
also confirmed through observation. And Rudolf Steiner said in his
course on astronomy, "We can conceive of the active heavenly sphere
mirrored in the Earth." The authors of Astrogeographia set out to
determine the correspondences between the starry heavens and the
earthly globe-As above, so below. There are many books on the
sacredness and the spirituality of our Earth. Few books, however,
deal with the relationship between the Earth and the cosmos, which
is the central theme for the research presented in this book. Its
point of departure is the one-to-one correspondence between the
encircling starry heavens-the celestial sphere-and the sphere of
the earthly globe. David Bowden has not only worked out the
mathematics of this one-to-one correspondence, but has also written
a computer program that applies it in practice. Thus, a new science
has been born-Astrogeographia-concerning the one-to-one
correspondence between the earthly sphere and the celestial sphere.

Contemporary science views our planet as an insignificant speck of
dust in the vastness of space, with its four kingdoms as a random
assemblage of atoms. Yvan Rioux presents a radically different
perspective, demonstrating an indissoluble relationship between
Heaven and Earth. Over aeons of existence, the four kingdoms have
manifested a creative power that perpetually brings forth new
expressions. With the goal of bridging science and spirit, Rioux
helps revive the old intuitive awareness of an intimate communion
between the outer perceptible life of nature, the inner life of the
soul and the majestic spiritual formative forces that preside as
architects - an organic whole where all levels co-evolve. The
earth, nesting in its solar system, is connected with the Milky Way
and the twelve constellations. The impact of the stars as an
influence on human behaviour has been known for millennia. In the
original edition of Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul, twelve
illustrations of the constellations, made by Imma von Eckardstein,
were published for the first time. These intuitive drawings differ
greatly from the traditional ones, but Steiner stressed their
importance for our modern consciousness. The images invite us to
comprehend formative forces in their various guises in the kingdoms
of nature. By exploring the gifts of each constellation, the author
uses Imma's drawings as a template to elucidate the emergence of
twelve basic forms as the common denominators of all creatures,
leading eventually towards the human form. 'The [new] images of the
zodiac constellations represent actual experiences connected with
the waking and sleeping of particular spiritual beings. In these
images we have a knowledge that needs to be renewed at this
time...' - Rudolf Steiner (1912)

Human beings in all cultures have long used the sky to tell stories
and weave myths that impart meaning to life on earth. The key to
all such systems is symbolism, in which one thing is used to
signify, imply, represent, or embody another. The papers included
in this volume are all concerned, in one way or another, with
various perceptions of the world of celestial phenomena as symbols.
These explorations range from art history and analytical psychology
to critiques and accounts of astrology, and roam from western to
non-western cultures, as well as from the ancient world to the
modern. The papers, most of which were given at the University of
Wales Trinity Saint David Sophia Centre Conference in Bath, UK, in
2011, provide a valuable addition to the scholarly literature on
our understanding of the origins, function, and nature of symbols,
especially their use in relation to cultural applications of
astronomy, astrology, and the sky.
