A German Stargazer's Book of Astrology is the first English
translation of Astronomia Teutsch Astronomei, published in 1545 in
Frankfurt am Main. The original work was one of the earliest
astrological textbooks in the vernacular, predating William Lilly's
famous English primer Christian Astrology by over a decade. With
this translation, Peter Stockinger offers the English reader an
exciting insight into the working methods of a 16th century
astrologer living on the cusp of the Late Medieval and Early Modern
periods. The book contains a detailed introduction by the
translator, providing valuable background information and
historical context, and is comprehensively annotated throughout.
The translation contains, amongst many others, the following
chapters: -Of the Twelve Signs their Stars and Effects -Of Pictures
of the Heavenly Bodies (Constellations) -Of the Fixed Stars and
their Qualities -Of the Seven Planets -Of Eclipses and Comets
(Mundane astrology) -Of the Four Seasons (Weather astrology)
-Claudius Ptolemy's Perpetual Calendar
In "Mexico Mystique" Frank Waters draws us deeply into the ancient
but still-living myths of Mexico. To reveal their hidden meanings
and their powerful symbolism, he brings to bear his gift for
intuitive imagination as well as a broad knowledge of anthropology,
Jungian psychology, astrology, and Eastern and esoteric religions.
He offers a startling interpretation of the Mayan Great Cycle --
our present Fifth World -- whose beginning has been projected to
3113 B.C., and whose cataclysmic end has been predicted by 2011
A.D.
This lovely new version of 'The Sacred Dance of Venus and Mars'
features a new cover and updated tables to 2035 for the positions
of Venus and Mars. A beautiful book which for the first time
explores the relationship between the cycles of Venus and Mars and
their impact on our lives - especially where relationships are
concerned. Michele Finey has thoroughly researched her subject, and
using many case histories she shows how, although synastry is
important, possibly of greater importance is the aspect between the
two planets within their cycles because that can dictate the timing
of key moments in a relationship. She shows how the degree of the
original conjunction between the two planets ('the degree of
passion'), based on the time of birth can indicate the kind of the
people we are attracted to and the course a romance can follow. A
really absorbing book which will prompt hours of research!

This book is the result of seven years' research and several
thousand case histories through which the author has been able to
peer into the deep inner life of the soul as it reincarnates from
life to life, both as a guide and an observer. While studying
Evolutionary Astrology with Jeff Green, regression therapist
Patricia Walsh realised that the potent combination of the two
disciplines could help to resolve current issues which have their
roots in past life experiences. The types of issues that arise in
past life regressions to be healed are also the exact dynamics that
Evolutionary Astrology aims to describe: * To understand the past
security patterns, emotional and mental imprints that have
conditioned the consciousness previous to this life. * To point the
way to the path of evolution beyond these. Regression work adds to
the understanding of issues presented in the natal chart This book
is not written in a 'multiple choice' style. It will become
apparent that the understanding of previous lives is not such a
simple matter as a few keywords or thoughts relating to one or two
symbols in the chart. Rather, this book is written like a journey
through the archetypes, from the depths to the heights of each, and
is meant to be read in that way, sequentially from Aries to Pisces.
Once the elements of the karmic axis in a chart are understood, all
the related archetypes in this book can be read in relation to a
single chart and synthesized to give a whole picture.
Handwriting is more than just a means of communication. Each time
you pick up a pen, you create your own art which draws from all the
light and dark areas of your natal chart. By learning how to spot
your own natal aspects in your handwriting, you will open a whole
new door to the hidden potential within your horoscope. As you
begin to understand how your handwriting reflects your natal chart,
so you can harness the energy of your predictive work by changing
the way you write - and help a difficult aspect to gain a more
helpful expression. AstroGraphology synthesizes handwriting and
astrology in a totally new paradigm that will delight and inspire
you with new power to bring change into your life.
This book is a translation of the original, in Dutch, brought about
by the overwhelming demand of his English speaking students. Books
have been written about herbs with a little astrology added, about
outer planets with a little naturopathy added, and about the
astrological symbolism of body parts and functions. But none of
these books is really about classical medical astrology: practical
diagnosis and treatment on the basis of charts. Medical astrology
has always been an integral unity of astrological diagnosis and
treatment based on the planetary positions. This integral and
seamless unity is the central theme in this book, which picks up
the thread of the great tradition which ended temporarily in
seventeenth century England. It is now undergoing a revivial as
modern astrologers rediscover the authenticity and value of the
classical techniques.
Tracing the roots of astrology from Abraham through the life of
Christ and the surrounding Roman Empire, this book provides
astonishing evidence that astrology once held an essential position
within early Christian beliefs and traditional monotheistic Hebrew
culture. Powerful proofs from history and the Bible are examined,
and the reasons behind the unfounded defamation of astrology by
Roman church authorities are presented, finally legitimatizing
astrology for Christians today. Applicable to the seasoned
astrologer, yet easy to understand by those with little knowledge
of astrology, detailed historical and astrological evidence behind
the Star of Bethlehem, the biblical nature of wisdom, and the wise
men are explored. Original horoscopes for King David and the
eclipse preceding the birth of Jesus are described, with astounding
implications for modern understanding. The final messages are
clear: God is real. The story of Jesus Christ is real. The
manifestation of God's will is real, and nowhere in the Bible is
there a condemnation of astrology.
Who were the three wise men and what was "the Star of the Magi" that led them to Bethlehem? Using the dialogue form, Christian Hermetic Astrology explores these questions and the basis for the inauguration of "Star Wisdom." Set in the Temple of the Sun, where Hermes, the Egyptian sage, gathers with his three pupils, Tat, Asclepius, and King Ammon, these discourses focus upon the path of Christ, culminating in the Mystery of Golgotha. With Rudolf Steiner and Anne Catherine Emmerich pointing the way, Robert Powell hits produced a book, through his independent research and careful study, intended as a contribution to a modern "path of the magi" leading to a Christian wisdom of the stars.
Medical astrology is a fascinating subject, yet undoubtedly a
rather challenging one. In this work however, the author attempts
to ease the path towards greater understanding of traditional
astrological principles regarding health, as well as introducing
some new experiential ideas. These have been developed through her
long practice in this field. What can sometimes be helpful in
studying a chart is to understand the psychological underlay to
medical conditions inherent in the cosmic pattern. The many charts
included in this work from the author's own casebook as well as the
charts of some public figures both current and historical, suggest
guidelines for interpretation. This book is recommended for anyone
who is interested in exploring medical astrology in greater depth,
and perhaps including some aspects of it in their own astrological
work. Whilst medical astrology cannot take the place of advice from
orthodox professionals, it can often throw light on prevailing
problems.
In western astrology we have grown accustomed to perceiving the
Sun's path as circular: the years revolve and the days and months
return again, the 360 degrees of the zodiac go round in a ring. But
the Sun has an up and down path too. It climbs steps of declination
from each equinox to solstice and descends again from solstice to
equinox. It marks off time in a different way which gives an
extraordinary view, and adds an extra breadth to the meaning and
movement of the heavenly bodies. This comprehensive work not only
covers the technique of declination, but it is full of the
fascinating myths and traditions which form the cornerstone of our
culture - it will therefore be of great interest to anyone who
follows the natural rhythm of the solar and lunar festivals in the
course of their everyday lives.
Open your heart and mind to the divine magic of crystals For
thousands of years, across cultures, civilisations and traditions,
crystals have been cherished for their magical uses. From rose
quartz to obsidian, topaz to amber - and even the most unassuming
of seaside pebbles - the stones that we find in the natural world
vibrate with potent energy. This little book will act as your
all-encompassing guide to understanding the magic and mystique of
sacred stones, and how they can enhance all aspects of your life.
By practising the unique, crystal-focused spells, blessings and
rituals contained within these pages, you can harness the innate
power of crystals to take your spiritual practice to the next
level.
"The Secret Language of Destiny" addresses the question we all ask
at some point during the course of our lives: "What is the purpose
of my life?" It identifies, based on birthdate, what, on a soul
level, someone came into this lifetime to achieve-in other words,
their karmic signature.
At last, the definitive guide to assessing the temperament in
astrology. Many have shied away from this daunting task,
traditionally seen as very complicated, but here the author gives a
full history of the origins of temperament, then shows clearly and
succinctly how to work it out for yourself. Copious case histories
support her technique.
- Discover how the ancient language of astrology is completely
relevant to your life today. - Appreciate how astrology is a
language of meaning that helps you decode your inner reality and
outer experience. - Understand how your birth moment encapsulates
the `information seed for all that unfolds in your life. - Learn
how understanding your birthchart can help you live a bigger life,
as a true co-creator.
This is the revised edition of one of the most important
astrological books of our time. It not only reshapes the view of
astrology that astrologers might have; it challenges the entire
notion of what constitutes knowing and knowledge in our
civilisation. It shows that astrology is not only important in and
of itself, but also for what it reveals about the nature of truth
and our experience in general. (Robert Hand).
With her expertise and experience of both traditional horary rules
and contemporary medical and psychological counseling, Sellar shows
how to blend together the best of ancient and modern astrology to
create a system that really works.
