GIROLAMO CARDANO was an Italian doctor, natural philosopher, and
mathematician who became a best-selling author in Renaissance
Europe. He was also a leading astrologer of his day, whose
predictions won him access to some of the most powerful people in
sixteenth-century Europe. In Cardano's Cosmos, Anthony Grafton
invites readers to follow this astrologer's extraordinary career
and explore the art and discipline of astrology in the hands of a
brilliant practitioner.
Renaissance astrologers predicted everything from the course of
the future of humankind to the risks of a single investment, or
even the weather. They analyzed the bodies and characters of
countless clients, from rulers to criminals, and enjoyed widespread
respect and patronage. This book traces Cardano's contentious
career from his first astrological pamphlet through his rise to
high-level consulting and his remarkable autobiographical works.
Delving into astrological principles and practices, Grafton shows
how Cardano and his contemporaries adapted the ancient art for
publication and marketing in a new era of print media and changing
science. He maps the context of market and human forces that shaped
Cardano's practices -- and the maneuvering that kept him at the top
of a world rife with patronage, politics, and vengeful rivals.
Cardano's astrology, argues Grafton, was a profoundly empirical
and highly influential art, one that was integral to the attempts
of sixteenth-century scholars to understand their universe and
themselves.
Back due to popular demand! For centuries, philosophers, alchemists
and psychologists have been intrigued and fascinated by the
intricacies of the labyrinth as a metaphor for human experience.
Richard Idemon sees the birth chart, a symbol of inherent universal
order, as a labyrinth - a logical but complicated and elusive
structure. The interwoven symbols in the horoscope are made up of a
single thread that, when unravelled - like the magic thread of
Ariadne - lead us through the maze to the heart of the chart and
our own nature. This book is transcribed from a six-day lecture
given in 1986.
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.
Handwriting is more than just a means of communication. Each time
you pick up a pen, you create your own art which draws from all the
light and dark areas of your natal chart. By learning how to spot
your own natal aspects in your handwriting, you will open a whole
new door to the hidden potential within your horoscope. As you
begin to understand how your handwriting reflects your natal chart,
so you can harness the energy of your predictive work by changing
the way you write - and help a difficult aspect to gain a more
helpful expression. AstroGraphology synthesizes handwriting and
astrology in a totally new paradigm that will delight and inspire
you with new power to bring change into your life.
Astrology has survived ridicule, misunderstanding and
trivialisation, but is poised to be taken seriously again. Its
popular image conceals the fact that is it the repository of
ground-breaking and indeed dangerous knowledge, because it has the
power to take us into the hidden engine room of life and show us
where the levers are. This is a reprint of the second edition of
Cosmic Loom, Dennis Elwell's first book, much enlarged to include
astonishing conclusions on the meaning of events like the Dunblane
Massacre and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. It shows that
it is now possible to grasp how and why astrology works, thanks to
recent advances in psychology, parapsychology, and above all,
theoretical physics. The subject has aroused scientific, moral and
religious objections - here they are squarely faced and answered.
Packed with concrete examples of astrology in action, the book
spells out its far-reaching implications. It serves as a meaty
introduction for those looking beyond the froth of the populist
'star columns', and at the same time provides experienced
astrologers with a new perspective on chart interpretation.
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.
Noted astrologer and spiritual teacher Barbara Hand Clow channels
the voice of Satya, a Pleiadian goddess. Satya describes the huge
cosmic drama taking place simultaneously in nine dimensions, with
Earth as the chosen theater. The Pleiadians are a group of
enlightened beings who believe that the end of the Mayan Calendar
will signal a critical leap in human evolution; the Pleiadians will
be there to guide us for that leap. This shift is the coming Age of
Light, and the entry of our solar system into the Photon Band and
the Age of Aquarius.
'Patterns of the Past' is the long-awaited revised and updated
version of 'The Karmic Journey' which was published in 1991 by
Penguin Arkana. Judy Hall is known across the world for her work
with past lives and reincarnation, including Hands Across Time
(Findhorn Press), Deja Who (Findhorn Press) and Principles of Past
Life Therapy (Thorsons). In the thirteen years since she wrote
Karmic Journey the public have become more knowledgeable and more
inquisitive about the affects previous lives could be having on
them now -- this updated version will be welcomed by everyone who
is interested in freeing themselves from the patterns of the past.
Tracing the roots of astrology from Abraham through the life of
Christ and the surrounding Roman Empire, this book provides
astonishing evidence that astrology once held an essential position
within early Christian beliefs and traditional monotheistic Hebrew
culture. Powerful proofs from history and the Bible are examined,
and the reasons behind the unfounded defamation of astrology by
Roman church authorities are presented, finally legitimatizing
astrology for Christians today. Applicable to the seasoned
astrologer, yet easy to understand by those with little knowledge
of astrology, detailed historical and astrological evidence behind
the Star of Bethlehem, the biblical nature of wisdom, and the wise
men are explored. Original horoscopes for King David and the
eclipse preceding the birth of Jesus are described, with astounding
implications for modern understanding. The final messages are
clear: God is real. The story of Jesus Christ is real. The
manifestation of God's will is real, and nowhere in the Bible is
there a condemnation of astrology.
Follow master astrologer Steven Forrest on an astrological journey
into the realm of both darkness and the powers that can transform
it: the planetary body Pluto. Whether officially named a planet or
not, astrologers everywhere agree that Pluto is a major force. With
this groundbreaking work, Steven emerged as one of the foremost
voices merging astrological practice with the most courageous forms
of humanistic psychology. Upon its initial publication, DELL
Horoscope magazine described him as "not only a premier astrologer,
but also a wise man." Written with both the astrologer and the
layperson in mind, his words convey practical and useful
information that will help anyone navigate Pluto's labyrinthine
passages. Along with detailed cookbook-style explanations of Pluto
in the houses and signs, the reader will also find comprehensive
information for working with transits and progressions. This book
is your one-stop shop for all things Plutonian. But most of all,
it's a beacon of light in some famously dark terrain, pointing the
reader towards the transformative gifts Pluto can bear, if we
choose to face our lives with consciousness and compassion. This
revised second edition includes new Introduction and Afterword.
