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.
Horary Astrology Re-examined is a detailed and highly informative
book, demonstrating clearly and unambiguously that traditional
methods are applicable to all astrology. There is no division
between different 'branches'. Barbara Dunn examines the methods by
which astrologers of the past evaluated planetary strengths in
order to make a judgement on a Question, Nativity, Election or any
other type of chart. These evaluations provide a platform for
judgement today, in just the same way as they did over a thousand
years ago. For all charts, the process of evaluation is broadly the
same, what Coley calls the "short comprehensive and approved rules
of Art." The focus of this work is Questions and the aim practical
rather than philosophical. Horary Astrology Re-examined is a
comprehensive reference work, as well as a casebook, giving
judgement on over fifty Questions. Ptolemy, Al Biruni, Masha'allah,
Abu Ma'shar, Abu 'Ali Al Khayyat, Bonatti, Dariot and William Lilly
are just some of the authors referred to. Where there are doubts
arising through a poor translation, an unsympathetic translator or
other factors, Ms Dunn provides clarification. Instead of seeking
to change or modify the tools and techniques handed down by our
ancestors, or denying that astrology is about prediction, Horary
Astrology Re-examined offers confirmation that astrologers need to
"come to grips with their history, complex as it is.. like an
isolated ethnic group, they need the courage of their identity in a
hostile world." Kitson]
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.
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.
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.
Steven Forrest, author of the award-winning and
critically-acclaimed "The Inner Sky", follows that work with this
empowering look at choice-centred "predictive" astrology -- an
astrology in which we predict the questions people face at certain
times, but never the answers they will give! The astrologer here is
not so much a prophet as a coach. You are never confined to an
inescapable fate. Instead the planets offer you a whirling
kaleidoscope of possibilities, with your freedom and the power of
your imagination in the driver's seat.
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.
Astrology and Meditation explores the idea that the most powerful
astrological technique is a quiet, meditative mind. The book
presents astrology as a form of active meditation where we
contemplate whatever is arising with expectancy, receptivity, and
conscious use of will to shape what unfolds. The author presents
meditations on the spiritual lessons of the planets and zodiacal
signs, and, with the plentiful use of case histories, describes the
technique of symbol amplification, which enables us to unfold the
deepest meanings of chart symbols. The book ends with a discussion
of astrology as a spiritual practice, a training for perfection
that can instill qualities such as discernment, humor, steadiness
in times of suffering, and an expanded capacity to love.

Humans have been meditating on the Moon since the beginning of our
time on earth. As long as there has been anything we could call
astrology, it has been central to all theories of celestial
influence. But why do astrologers pay so little attention to its
phases? In these pages, Steven Forrest, bestselling author of The
Inner Sky, shows how we have been blinded to the lunar phases by a
set of cultural attitudes now drifting into extinction. He
demonstrates that our Celtic ancestors held the key to
understanding lunar phase and he skillfully, clearly, and
eloquently turns the key in that lock for us. Along the way, he
also presents the latest research on the powerful but little used
tools: the Out of Bounds Moon, lunar speed, and lunar parallax.
You'll also find rare descriptions of the progressed lunation
cycle, planetary phase angles and nodal phase. Discover the soul of
the moon in this lucid explanation of the Moon's place in modern
humanistic astrological counseling.
