Integrates the Egyptian pantheon, the ancient language of
astrology, and shamanic practices
- Links each of the planets and signs in Western astrology with its
Egyptian counterpart, such as Leo with Anubis
- Includes sacred invocations and shamanic rituals to invite the
wisdom of each Egyptian deity into your life
- Offers a shamanic way to interpret natal horoscopes
"Shamanic Egyptian Astrology" integrates the Egyptian pantheon, the
ancient language of astrology, and shamanic practices to promote a
new way to interpret and work with natal charts. Revealing the
cross-cultural mythology and astrological significance of the
individual Egyptian gods and goddesses, the authors link each of
the 12 zodiac signs and 11 celestial bodies of Western astrology
with its Egyptian ancestor, introducing new significance to their
positions and interactions in a horoscope. For example, Leo is
linked with Anubis and Taurus with Hathor. Venus is associated with
the goddess Isis and Jupiter with Horus.
Each chapter includes sacred invocations and shamanic rituals to
invite the wisdom of each Egyptian deity into your life--such as
calling on Sekhmet for action or Thoth for clarity. With sample
interpretations of the charts of Barack Obama and Gloria Steinem,
this book provides a practical framework for accessing the wisdom
of ancient Egypt and offers astrological and shamanic tools for
spiritual guidance and the coming shift in planetary consciousness.
The technique known today as primary directions is one of the most
ancient and renowned methods of astrological forecasting, and also
one of the most powerful. From classical antiquity throughout the
Middle Ages and Renaissance, and even into the twentieth century,
all the great names of western astrology have worked with primary
directions. It was the predictive technique of Dorotheus and
Ptolemy, of Masha'allah and Abu Ma'shar, of Regiomontanus and
Placidus, of Morin de Villefranche and William Lilly. To understand
the Old Masters of astrology, we must understand primary
directions. Students of traditional astrology have often been
deterred by overly mathematical presentations from approaching the
important subject of directions. This comprehensive study explains
the principles of primary directions in an accessible form,
illustrating them by practical examples. It also draws on many
original source texts to outline the historical origins and
development of the technique, and shows how it has been
reinterpreted and occasionally misunderstood. A full glossary and
appendices with software reviews as well as formulae for manual
calculations complement the text. The craft of the Old Masters can
still be learnt.
Ridder-Patrick's classic and comprehensive work on both traditional

includes a step-by-step guide to decumbiture charts and
astro-medical consultations, complete with possible remedies.
Will there be peace? Will there be war? Find out with Mundane
Astrology. Here, in one volume, are three classic books on the
astrology of nations and states, by H.S. Green, Raphael, and C.E.O.
Carter: H.S. Green organizes his book planet-by- planet. He tells
what each planet will do in the 12 houses. Raphael organizes the
topic by house. He tells how mundane houses work when planets are
in them. In addition, both authors deal with solar and lunar
eclipses, and earthquakes. Green shows the effects of eclipses in
the houses, while Raphael describes them by decanate (100 sections
of the zodiac). Both mention the effects of comets, although little
about these mysterious bodies is known astrologically. Charles
Carter, writing after WWII, discusses why astrologers failed to
predict the war and what that means for mundane astrology. His plea
for better data has largely been met, but the need for more study
remains. All three authors give astrological rulerships for
countries and cities. These are centuries old and are weighted to
England and Europe. Carter's rulers are the most up-to-date. These
are the essential texts for serious study of mundane astrology.
About the Authors H.S. Green was an astrologer associated with Alan
Leo's astrological revival back in the first decade of the 20th
century. His various books are highly regarded (all but this one
out of print, sadly), but biographical details are sketchy. Raphael
was the pen-name of one Robert Cross, 1850-1923. He was the sixth
in a series of astrological writers who used the name "Raphael"
& remains the best known of them all. He wrote books on
virtually all astrological topics. His book on mundane astrology
dates from 1910. Charles E.O. Carter, 1887-1968, was one of the
outstanding British astrologers of the 20th century. He succeeded
Alan Leo as head of the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical
Society, a post he held from 1920 to 1952. He was editor of
Astrology, The Astrologer's Quarterly, from 1926 to 1959. Carter's
persistent genius reestablished astrology as a serious discipline
in England, after two centuries of decline. He wrote his book on
Mundane Astrology in reaction to the failure of astrologers to
forecast WWII. In 1939, astrologers in London knew there was a
full-scale war on in China, they knew the situation with Germany
was tense, but they had studied the charts for the year, they knew
the fuss would blow over. And they were wrong. Carter set out to
discover why, his book was the result.

In this updated edition of Liquid Light of Sex, renowned astrologer
and spiritual teacher Barbara Hand Clow explores the connection
between life crises in your 30s, 40s, and 50s and the key
astrological passages of Saturn, Uranus, and Chiron in your birth
chart. She explains how kundalini energy--the "liquid light of sex"
that lies at the base of the spine--is activated during these
planetary transits, rising through the chakras and triggering the
process of spiritual emergency, and in many cases, a cascade of
health, emotional, and relationship problems as well as extreme
anxiety. She shows that by understanding these astrological
transits, you can be prepared for turbulent periods and
successfully navigate them by creatively channeling the spiritual
fire of kundalini. Clow provides astrological charts--now updated
through 2050 for those born between 1930 and 2000--detailing the
cycles of Saturn, Uranus, and Chiron, so you do not need your birth
chart to use this book. She explains how to use the charts to
predict the onset and completion of each kundalini activation and
corresponding crisis. She shares tools for individuals and
therapists to cope with the intensity of spiritual emergency and
too much fire energy, unblock the chakras, and integrate the power
of kundalini for physical, emotional, and spiritual growth.
Reflecting on 20 years of success stories since the book's initial
publication, Clow presents a road map for using celestial cycles to
navigate positively and productively in times of great life change.

This guide brings Chinese astrology back to its ancient roots,
providing all the information you need for understanding one of the
world's oldest systems of divination.
The ancient Chinese people developed a sophisticated science of
astrology that continues to have profound influence in China today.
Rooted in the fundamentals of Taoism, it evolved into a system
vastly different from Western astrology. Rather than determining
personality by the time of the year in which you are born, in
Taoist astrology it is the year itself that determines your
character. The years form a twelve-year cycle of signs, each named
after an animal. Additionally, your personality depends on which of
the five traditional Taoist elements you are born under--water,
wood, fire, earth, or metal. This makes for a cycle of sixty unique
signs. "Taoist Astrology" includes information for each sign's
personality, compatibility, child-parent relations, and rising and
falling fortunes during the twelve-year cycle. Discussions of yin
and yang, Confucianism and Buddhism, Taoist alchemy, and the
connection between Taoist astrology and Western astrology give you
all the background you need for understanding one of the oldest
systems of divination known to humanity.
"Taoist Astrology" differs from other books on the subject by
grounding its concepts in the ancient traditions from which it
originated.
