perfect guide to your inner and outer life.
Despite a resurgence in popularity, horoscopes are generally
considered to be pseudoscience today - but they were once a
cutting-edge scientific tool. In this ingenious work of history,
data scientist Alexander Boxer examines a treasure trove of
esoteric classical sources to expose the deep imaginative framework
by which - for millennia - we made sense of our fates. Astrology,
he argues, was the ancient world's most ambitious applied
mathematics problem, a grand data-analysis enterprise sustained by
some of history's most brilliant minds, from Ptolemy to al-Kindi to
Kepler. A Scheme of Heaven explores the wonderful subtleties of
astrological ideas. Telling the stories of their inventors and most
influential exponents, Boxer puts them through their paces using
modern data sets - finding that the methods of today's scientists
are often uncomfortably close to those of astrology's ancient
sages.
This book is the very essence of Jupiter. From its apt title, to
its generous use of many famous chart examples, to Arroyo's
trademark insight and wisdom on every page, "Exploring Jupiter" is
positively a winner The presentation of the astrology is clear,
practical and intelligent, making it a must for both newer students
and more experienced practising astrologers. Unlike the majority of
modern astrologers, Arroyo refers to Jupiter's ancient rulership of
Pisces as being significant, and the book is written with this in
mind. Otherwise much of the book is built on the usual "cookbook"
approach: Jupiter through the signs, Jupiter through the houses
(arranged by element), Jupiter aspects in the birth chart and so
on. As always with Stephen Arroyo, it is the clarity and profound
depth of these guidelines for interpretation that is so striking.
The chapter on transits involving Jupiter is particularly good,
building on ideas he has expressed in earlier writings.
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.

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.
The New American Ephemeris for the 21st Century 2000-2100 at
Midnight, Michelsen Memorial Edition Compiled and Programmed by
Rique Pottenger, based on the earlier work of Neil F Michelsen
Memorial text and Introduction compiled and written by Maria Kay
Simms In 1976, Neil F Michelsen (1931-1990) compiled, programmed
and published the first edition of The American Ephemeris that set
new standards of accuracy for contemporary astrology. In 2006,
celebrating the 30th anniversary of first publication of the first
volume of work that grew to become Michelsen's comprehensive
American Ephemeris series, Rique Pottenger continued the work that
Neil began. Within The New American Ephemeris for the 21st Century
2000-2100 at Midnight is the familiar data and format long used and
trusted by astrologers worldwide, now updated and expanded, with
new features. This ephemeris is unique among others in the series
for its memorial text section that documents, partially from
excerpts from Michelsen's own writing, and partially from
testimonials of colleagues, a history of the development of
computer technology for astrology. Features of this entire 21st
century edition include improvements in the computer generating
program that enable finding double ingresses in a single day plus
more accurate station times. Ceres, the asteroid that was elevated
to planetary status by the IAU (International Astronomical Union)
in 2006, has been added to the daily longitude listings in her
position between Mars and Jupiter. The new planet Eris, whose
discovery precipitated the IAU decisions of 2006, moves, at most,
about 3 minutes per month, so her position is listed once per month
in the Astro Data box, along with monthly positions for Chiron,
Pallas, Juno and Vesta. A new formula increases the accuracy of
monthly positions of the Galactic Center. Phenomena listed in the
Astro Data column are sorted by time as well as by date. Also, the
planetary ingress data includes R if the planet is retrograde when
it ingresses.

"The future's not ours to see, what will be, will be" says a
popular song of yesteryear. Not so for the astrologer who views the
celestial bodies and studies their influences on human affairs, in
order to control the calamities of life. As R.W. Emerson wrote:
"Astrology is astronomy brought to earth and applied to the affairs
of men." Mastered long ago in Vedic times, astrology helps in
predicting future events and catastrophes. 'Secret of Astrology' is
based on Hindu astrology. Dealing with the most important aspects
of human life -- marriage, children, profession, finance, love and
personality -- it is an interesting guide to mitigating misfortunes
in one's life, and predicting accurately incidents and events
shaping the lives of human beings. It will help you work out
predictions and character readings for your fiends and yourself.
With this book, you will gain insight into the aspects of your
personality and can take appropriate measures to ensure a happy and
prosperous life.
