Back due to popular demand! In this book, Richard Idemon teaches us
how to look at the natal chart to gain rich, new insight into our
deepest nature - the hidden agendas, childhood patterns and the
belief systems that invariably shape our lives and relationships.
Combining the symbolism of astrology, mythology and Jungian
psychology, he teaches us how to break free of the entrenched
attitudes that limit and restrict us. Above all, Idemon provides
new depth and dimension to the understanding of the most important
aspect of our lives - how we reach out and interact with others. He
tells us that the important people in our lives are like looking
glasses - mirrors of our unfolding process toward a fuller
consciousness. By looking into these mirrors we can transform
ourselves and thus change the relationships which are so important
to us.

Martin Davis is a leader in the field of Astrolocality astrology.
His influential first book, Astrolocality Astrology [The Wessex
Astrologer, 1999], is the authoritative textbook in the field. This
book, 'From Here To There: an astrologer's guide to astromapping',
is his latest work on the subject. Written with a deep
understanding of the material, Davis presents a masterful portrait
of locality astrology today, and its potential for the future.
Davis begins this work with a first in astrological literature:
recounting the history of the field (telling its story), from
ancient Babylonia to modern times. He then introduces specific,
essential works of contemporary astrologers who are utilising the
techniques in their work. Davis shows how locations of significance
and global hotspots can be identified astrologically, bringing the
influence of space (where something may happen) into the usual
astrological focus on time (when something may happen). This is a
critical enlargement of astrological perspective for today's needs,
were an understanding of influences around the globe is critical
for our very well being.
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.
Life isn't always easy. It's impossible to live deeply and not to
feel pain or go through times of crisis, breakdown or major
disruptive change. Although this is clearly inevitable, what is not
always obvious is the crucial role pain and crisis play in the
process of growth and evolution. While some people fall apart
altogether and never make it through difficult times, many others
emerge from conflict and turmoil renewed and transformed, indeed,
more fully alive. They 'return' to life with a renewed sense of
commitment to a neglected potential, with a renewed sense of what
one might call the 'sacred' in life, with a richly enhanced
sensitivity to others. This lovely and important work from Howard
Sasportas teaches us how to respond to the transits of
Uranus,Neptune and Pluto with calmness and a knowledge that the
more we work with them, the more worthwhile will be the end result.

From ancient times, people had knowledge of the zodiac's intimate
involvement in the creation of physical life. They understood that
the twelve realms of constellations of fixed stars in the sky
emanated specific forces that were brought to life and movement by
the planets. These spiritual energies created and formed all living
beings on earth - including, of course, the human being. This
traditional awareness has been reenlivened and given new meaning in
our time through Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy. Steiner gave
specific indications involving twelve individual gestures and
colours that depict the forces of the twelve zodiacal regions. In
this richly-illustrated collation of original artistic research -
which features exciting new work on the zodiac via the mediums of
sculpture, graphics and painting - these new insights are explored
and illumined in twenty-seven essays and numerous full-colour
images. Led by editor Gertraud Goodwin, the various contributing
artists offer a rich tableau of authentic, individual approaches to
understanding the zodiac, throwing light on the vast realm of
creative forces around us whilst acknowledging their primary
source. 'From the many relationships to other qualities, like the
consonants, virtues, areas of the human body, colours, eurythmy
gestures, elements (earth, water, air, fire), musical keys and many
more, in which the zodiacal forces express themselves as if through
different instruments, a harmony begins to emerge, which informs me
of an ever rounder picture of one particular force of the Zodiac.'
- Gertraud Goodwin
Astrology has been open to criticism through a large part of its
long history. In this groundbreaking book Bernadette Brady gives
new insights in the intensity of these criticisms by placing
astrology into its initial setting, its original world of ancient
creation myths linked to the great creative void. Modern chaos
theory has now rediscovered this void and Brady maps astrology to
chaos theory to produce "chaotic astrology". The result is an
insight into fate, freewill and the nature of astrology itself
implying that it is neither a science nor a religion, and suggests
instead that astrology is an instrument of chaos, a fertile and
pragmatic tool for understanding the patterns of life. Original and
insightful as ever, Brady navigates the reader through a
breath-taking journey which can change forever the way one views
the world.
1930. Carter was one of the outstanding British astrologers of the
century. This is a treatise in some detail on the 36 possible
combinations of the Sun, the Moon and the seven known planets. Each
combination is treated under three heads: harmonious aspects, the
conjunction, and inharmonious aspects. A number of examples is
given of each combination.

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.
Horary astrology is a fascinating and exacting technique, and here
is the perfect book to hone your skills. Author Petros
Eleftheriadis presents over fifty valid charts taken from his
client files which demonstrate, in clear steps, how to reach an
answer. He stresses the importance of starting with the correct
question; for instance, he doesn't accept 'Should I?' questions,
saying 'Astrology charts cannot possibly show something that will
NEVER materialize, something that will never become reality, so
they cannot show how your life would be, had you made another
decision.' So rather than asking whether you will win the lottery
if you buy a ticket, the correct action would be to buy the ticket
and then ask if you will win. Ideal for students and professionals
with some knowledge of horary astrology.
The science of esoteric astrology is said to be the basic occult
science for the future. It will come into its own as the esoteric
or soul factors begin to supersede the exoteric focus of the vast
majority of professional and amateur astrologers today. This is the
science which deals with those conditioning and governing energies
and forces which play through and upon the whole field of space and
all that is found within that field. The Ancient Wisdom teaches
that "Space is an entity". It is with the life of this entity and
with the forces and energies, the impulses and the rhythms, the
cycles and the times and seasons, that esoteric astrology deals.
Esoteric astrology can be applied by the trained worker in a
variety of ways; in medicine, psychology, science, education; to an
evaluation of human problems, of the destiny of nations, of a
correct interpretation of world affairs, and so on. It is
necessary, however, that at this stage the application of esoteric
astrology to human life should be recognised as experimental and
tentative, so that each individual worker can adjust his thinking
and his methods according to his own wrought-out experience. As
with all other aspects of occultism and esotericism, accuracy and
facility to work depend entirely on a consciousness evolving out of
control by the personality into the life of the soul, out of
separateness and self-centredness into a realisation of unity, and
absorption into a centre of group consciousness. Astrology is
described in this book as "the science of relationships" - the
relationship existing between all living organisms within the
universe. Not only the qualities of the ray energies affect these
centres of consciousness, but also the quality and energy of the
ruling planets and the zodiacal signs. Seen from the exoteric
outside, astrology is a vast and most involved and complex subject.
From the esoteric inside, while it is still vast, all-inclusive and
complex, it is also possible to perceive the thread which unites
and the pattern which prevails throughout the whole system. A basic
simplicity in the grand design emerges, therefore, which can serve
to interpret the whole. The main chapter headings to this book
provide the sequence in developing study: (1) The Zodiac and the
Rays (2) The Nature of Esoteric Astrology (3) The Science of
Triangles (4) The Sacred and Non-Sacred Planets (5) Three Major
Constellations (6) The Three Crosses (7) The Rays, Constellations
and Planets. In addition there is an appendix which summarises and
tabulates many of the factors of fundamental importance to the
study of esoteric astrology. This is a book for the true occult
student. It may appear to be too highly specialised for some; but
every esoteric worker finds eventually that his work requires an
understanding of the basic astrological factors which affect all
relationships and all forms of life within the ethers of space, so
that he may learn how to cooperate intelligently in the evolution
of the whole by the right adjustment of the part within that whole;
until eventually "the many are absorbed into the One." The books of
Alice A. Bailey, written in cooperation with a Tibetan teacher
between 1919-1949, constitute a continuation of the Ageless
Wisdom--a body of esoteric teaching handed down from ancient times
in a form which is always suitable to each period. Intended to
precede and condition the coming era, the Alice A. Bailey writings
offer an unparalleled spiritual approach to such subjects as the
teaching on Shamballa and the Path of spiritual evolution; the
spiritual Hierarchy; the new discipleship and training in
meditation as a form of service; the teaching on the seven rays and
the new psychology of the soul; the teaching on esoteric astrology;
and the new world religion, which emphasizes the common thread of
truth linking all the major world faiths.

Planetary Combination picks up where Planetary Strength left off,
explaining how the planetary influences combine in aspects and
configurations to paint a picture of a person and his or her life.
Descriptions of planetary configurations such as grand trines,
grand squares, T-squares, wedges, fans, rectangles, kites, and
trapezoids provide overall schematics of people's psychological
dynamics. Then, detailed interpretations for the conjunctions,
sextiles/trines, squares, oppositions, parallels/contraparallels,
and mutual receptions between the individual planets enable the
practitioner to see clearly how these dynamics work out in a
particular horoscope. An illuminating chapter on planetary
conjunctions with the Moon's nodes reveals the underlying karmic
influences at work. An indispensable reference you'll consult every
time you read a chart. "Planetary Combination is an excellent and
comprehensive summary of all the relevant chart factors...One has
to search hard to find such material! But this is all presented, as
is all of Makransky's work, with vigour, wisdom and
accessibility...Much of the book is taken up - as we might expect -
with a very generous coverage of the astrological aspects. I looked
up a few of my own and they were spot on...Planetary Combination
fills a gap in the current state of astrological literature. It
manages to retain both a sense of firm tradition whilst feeling
utterly new and fresh." James Lynn Page, author of Everyday Tarot,
Celtic Magic, The Christ Enigma and The New Positive Thinking.
The Planetary Hours are an ancient astrological system for
selecting favorable times to act (and avoiding unfavorable times),
by assigning planetary rulers to the twenty-four hours of the day.
This book has easy-to-follow instructions for finding your birthday
and birth hour rulers, and clearly explains how these determine
your personality and your luck. A chapter on electional astrology
explains how to use the Planetary Hours to find lucky times to act
(to ask for money; to ask someone on a date or to marry; to go on a
journey; to begin a new business). The chapter on How to Cast
Spells gives the low-down on how to make magical spells (and
prayers) really work, using simple astrological techniques. The use
of the Firdaria, an ancient astrological prediction system which
indicates positive and negative periods during a lifetime, is
illustrated with a detailed analysis of events in the life of
Theodore Roosevelt. Complete Tables of Planetary Hours at the end
of the book allow you to find favorable times to initiate
activities for any day of the year, and for anywhere on earth from
the Equator to 58 North and South latitudes. Ideal for any level of
astrologer.
