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."

the longitudes of all the planets for each day and their latitudes
and declinations for every other day, and includes tables of houses

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.
Illustrated in color.
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.
Four Pillars of Destiny: The Ten Gods Handbook is a continuation of
a series of Four Pillars of Destiny books by Feng Shui Master,
Jerry King. Understanding the Ten Gods is integral to mastering the
analysis of the Four Pillars of Destiny charts. The Ten Gods serve
as an additional layer of knowledge within Four Pillars
practice-helping to unlock the power of understanding natal charts.
In this book, each of the Ten Gods is broken down and described in
a detailed and concise manner, along with simplified techniques for
identifying the Ten Gods in a natal chart. King explains how the
Ten Gods shape a person's characteristics, personalities,
relationships, and wealth, interacting with the self element and
other characters in a birth chart. Examples and case studies
demonstrate how the Ten Gods play an important role in a Four
Pillars of Destiny chart analysis. Both modern and traditional
perspectives of the Ten Gods are explained, accompanied by King's
new translations of Chinese texts. Whether you are new to the
subject of Four Pillars, or an advanced practitioner, this book is
a must-read.
There is very little written on the most contentious area of
astrology, and this greatly updated and revised edition more than
adequately fills the gap.
Astrological Magic: Basic Rituals & Meditations is designed for
both beginning and experienced ritualists. Written by two veteran
ritualists with twenty years of experience apiece, it describes
magic in terms of spiritual healing, and is especially written for
contemporary astrologers (both traditionalists and modernists) who
want a more hands-on, ritualized, and astrologically-based
spirituality to complement their chart-reading practices. This book
is also designed for those interested in ritual magic, the Tarot,
and meditative practices as paths to a spiritually-centered life.
For those focusing on ritual magic, this book will teach them how
to eventually write their own rituals. For those seeking a deeper
understanding of the Tarot, it illuminates the astrological powers
behind these cards, and for practitioners of meditation, every
ritual includes two meditations. Following an extensive
introduction full of instruction and hints, including a primer on
astrological elections, Astrological Magic contains rituals on all
Elements, Planets, and Signs, with a culminating ritual for each
group. Tarot meditations and other visualizations, Appendices on
incenses and color, and more are included in this invaluable guide
to astrological ritual and spirituality.
This is the new and expanded version of Day-Signs, originally
published in 1991. In this edition there are some content and
organizational changes in the introductory chapters, the listings
of people born under each of the day-signs has been expanded, and
the day-sign look-up tables now go to 2029. The original
delineations of the 20 day-signs remain at the heart of the book,
and these have been updated to include the author's latest
insights. They are the first ever to be described in psychological
terms, and the only ones produced by the analysis of over 400
examples. For those interested in astrology, it may come as a
surprise to learn that the Maya and Aztecs of ancient Mexico and
Central America had developed a comprehensive system of signs and
cycles, very little of which has survived in the indigenous
population to the present day. Tantalizing pieces of this
astrological system do exist but there are many parts missing. One
thing is known, however, and that is the central role of the 20
named days called day-signs. It is the reconstruction and
reinterpretation of these symbolic images that is the subject of
this book. The 20 day-signs are like a zodiac - a cycle of
development that moves through various stages from origin to
completion. Each of the day-signs has distinct qualities and as the
20 signs cycle through the calendar dates, they move with a
secondary cycle of 13 numbers that deepen meanings. Finally, after
13 cycles of the 20 day-signs and 20 cycles of the 13 numbers, the
larger cycle, called the Tzolkin by the Maya and Tonalpouhalli by
the Aztecs, begins again. This 260-day cycle is at the core of the
ancient astrology of the Americas and an understanding of it is a
prerequisite to comprehending the other components of the system.
Here, in this book, is a modern interpretation of each of the
signs, translated from an ancient mindset into the shared reality
of the present. Even though the rediscovery of ancient native
American astrology is far from complete, readers will be fascinated
that significant variations in personality, discovered in a strange
culture a long time ago, are just as relevant today.
