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.
ASTRONOMY AND SPIRITUAL SCIENCE collects writings on astronomy by
Dr. Elizabeth Vreede and is a fascinating compendium of scientific
and spiritual knowledge. Between September 1927 and August 1930,
Dr. Vreede wrote a monthly "letter," available by subscription,
about both modern astronomy and classical astrology in the light of
spiritual science. These letters include clear explanations of the
fundamentals of astronomy and discussions of the role of astrology
in the modern world. They also include inspiring presentations of a
worldview that sees the stars, planets, and in fact all physical
phenomena as manifestations of spiritual beings and spiritual
activities. Among the many topics Dr. Vreede considers are the role
of nutation, precession, and other movements of the Earth in human
evolution and life; the comets; the relations of the heavenly
bodies to spiritual beings; horoscopes; solar and lunar eclipses;
and the deeper meaning of the Christian holidays such as Easter and
Whitsun.
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.

In Yesterday s Sky, Steven Forrest completes the picture he began
painting in his bestseller The Inner Sky over twenty-five years
ago.
This is a Latin translation made in the mid-12th century of a lost
Arabic astrological text on nativities and anniversaries, probably
by Masha'allah (762-c.815). The Latin text, the work of Hugo of
Santalla, who was in the entourage of Michael, Bishop of Tarazona,
in 1145, sheds light on the early stage of Arabic astrology in
Baghdad, which was based on Greek and Middle Persian sources, and
it includes a bibliography of these sources. This work provides
English translations of the parallel passages based on
Masha'allah's text - the "Book of Nativities" of Sahl b. Bishr. The
book concludes with an index of the sources mentioned and a
comprehensive word index.
