"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.

This lovely new version of 'The Sacred Dance of Venus and Mars'
features a new cover and updated tables to 2035 for the positions
of Venus and Mars. A beautiful book which for the first time
explores the relationship between the cycles of Venus and Mars and
their impact on our lives - especially where relationships are
concerned. Michele Finey has thoroughly researched her subject, and
using many case histories she shows how, although synastry is
important, possibly of greater importance is the aspect between the
two planets within their cycles because that can dictate the timing
of key moments in a relationship. She shows how the degree of the
original conjunction between the two planets ('the degree of
passion'), based on the time of birth can indicate the kind of the
people we are attracted to and the course a romance can follow. A
really absorbing book which will prompt hours of research!
Readers of 'Astrological Counselling' will be delighted that
Christina Rose has written a new book. In Tapestry of Planetary
Phases she expands the phases introduced in Dane Rudhyar's Lunation
cycle into interpretations for each pair of planets in their
individual phases. A fascinating and in-depth work that will
transform your chart interpretation, and a very worthy addition to
any bookshelf.
Whether as muse, silver goddess, nourishing mother, priestess,
maid, siren or witch, the influence of the Moon on our personality
and perception is one of the least understood factors in our daily
lives. Luna has fascinated, inspired, and frightened us since the
dawn of human history yet She of the Three Faces is the clue to our
most emotional and instinctive selves. This new work by Paul F.
Newman probes the subtle meanings of habit and the irrational that
the astrological Moon conveys and how we can comprehend it and make
use of it for our benefit and security. The triple aspect of Luna
is treated as paramount with examples of the effect of New Moon,
Full Moon and Old Moon in the monthly round. There is also a new
way of grasping the consequence of New and Full Moons according to
their declinational hemisphere, and the difference between summer
and winter moons. While all computational aspects of the Moon are
covered (phases, cycles, moon mansions, progressed moons, magic
squares etc.) along with the meaning of how these things affect us,
it is the poetic side of Luna that equally informs our approach. A
substantial part of the book also covers the Black Moon Lilith,
(the Moon at apogee), with new insights into this lady of noire and
her astrological resonance. From the fall of dew to the markings on
a cheetah's eyes, there is more to the Moon than we know...
It's back! Due to popular demand, Jeff Green's groundbreaking book
on Evolutionary Astrology in relationships is back in print. For
richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, you and your partners
will meet again and again, over many lifetimes, until you work out
the kinks. There's no way to skirt the issue - your soul needs
relationships to evolve. In this classic work Jeff Green clearly
illustrates the evolutionary and karmic progression of two people
throughout many lifetimes. By incorporating past-life dynamics with
modern astrology, Green creates a powerful new
paradigm...evolutionary astrology. Pluto II elucidates Green's
theory, introduced in Pluto I, that once you understand your past
life dynamics, symbolised by Pluto, you will be able to focus on
key astrological principles and methods that propel you forward. If
you're tired of making the same mistakes again and again, this is
where you get the chance to evolve.
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.
This book is a translation of the original, in Dutch, brought about
by the overwhelming demand of his English speaking students. Books
have been written about herbs with a little astrology added, about
outer planets with a little naturopathy added, and about the
astrological symbolism of body parts and functions. But none of
these books is really about classical medical astrology: practical
diagnosis and treatment on the basis of charts. Medical astrology
has always been an integral unity of astrological diagnosis and
treatment based on the planetary positions. This integral and
seamless unity is the central theme in this book, which picks up
the thread of the great tradition which ended temporarily in
seventeenth century England. It is now undergoing a revivial as
modern astrologers rediscover the authenticity and value of the
classical techniques.
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.

What are astrological aspects and how do they show themselves in a
horoscope? How do they relate to the zodiac as a whole and how
important are they ? Most importantly, how can they best be put to
use in understanding our individual needs and relationships? Sue
Tompkins, former Director of Schools for the prestigious Faculty of
Astrological Studies, explains the significance and practical use
of astrological aspects, which go much deeper into revealing the
layers of a person's character than do most summaries offered by
basic descriptions of star signs. Included is a section offering
interpretations for every planetary combination. Also featured are
examples drawn from the lives of many well-known people, along with
charts and diagrams. Not simply another book on astrology, this is
informative and useful guide will appeal equally to the experienced
astrologer and to the beginner who wishes to know more.
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.

Explains how to use your Taoist astrology birth chart as a personal
nutritional guide for health, longevity, and organ energy balance
We are each born with a unique combination of heavenly and earthly
energies defined by the Five Elements and dictated by the Universe
at the moment you take your first breath. This "birth chi" can be
calculated using the year, month, day, and time of your birth, and
it reveals your personal profile of health and emotional strengths
and weaknesses as well as the energy cycles you will encounter
throughout your life. In this Inner Alchemy Astrology nutrition
guide, Master Mantak Chia and Christine Harkness-Giles explore how
to strengthen your birth chi through your eating habits, revealing
which foods will address imbalances in your Five Element organ
energy profile. The authors explain which organs are connected with
each Element--Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water--and provide
detailed food lists based on ancient Taoist wisdom that reveal the
Yin, Yang, hot, cold, and Five Element aspects of many common foods
and superfoods. They emphasize the importance of local, seasonal,
and fresh foods and of acid-alkaline balance for health. The
authors illustrate the Five Elements' characteristics through
sample profiles for celebrities such as Paul McCartney and Meryl
Streep, along with Taoist nutritional recommendations based on
their charts. The authors also explore how your Inner Alchemy
astrology profile determines your life and relationships and
explain how inner alchemy practices and Five Element nutrition can
improve all aspects of your life. By eating in line with your
personal Five Element energetic profile, as part of ancient Inner
Alchemy techniques, you can improve health and longevity and
strengthen connections with your loved ones and the energies of the
cosmos.
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.
