Light on Life brings the insight and wisdom of Indian astrology to the Western reader. Jyotish, or Indian astrology, is an ancient and complex method of exploring the nature of time and space and its effect upon the individual. Formerly a closed book to the West, the subject has now been clarified and explained by Hart de Fouw and Dr. Robert Svoboda, two experts and long-term practitioners. In Light on Life they have created a complete and thorough handbook that can be appreciated and understood by those with very little knowledge of astrology.
A German Stargazer's Book of Astrology is the first English translation of Astronomia Teutsch Astronomei, published in 1545 in Frankfurt am Main. The original work was one of the earliest astrological textbooks in the vernacular, predating William Lilly's famous English primer Christian Astrology by over a decade. With this translation, Peter Stockinger offers the English reader an exciting insight into the working methods of a 16th century astrologer living on the cusp of the Late Medieval and Early Modern periods. The book contains a detailed introduction by the translator, providing valuable background information and historical context, and is comprehensively annotated throughout. The translation contains, amongst many others, the following chapters: -Of the Twelve Signs their Stars and Effects -Of Pictures of the Heavenly Bodies (Constellations) -Of the Fixed Stars and their Qualities -Of the Seven Planets -Of Eclipses and Comets (Mundane astrology) -Of the Four Seasons (Weather astrology) -Claudius Ptolemy's Perpetual Calendar
Each month your energy levels wax and wane just as the Moon does, sometimes urging you to start new projects and other times easing you towards quiet and contemplation. Whether the Moon is making you feel adventurous and productive or dreamy and lethargic, you can use its energy to work for you instead of against you. In this enduring classic, bestselling author D.J. Conway explains how each of the 13 lunar months is directly connected to a different type of seasonal energy flow. With 79 modern Pagan rituals for tapping the Moon's energy and celebrating its phases, you'll improve your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being when you align yourself with the natural strength of the Moon. Moon Magick features a treasury of practical lunar magick and lore: --Seasonal recipes, decorations, and crafts --Lunar meditations, spells, and lore --Moon mythology, correspondences, and symbols --Goddesses & Gods and ancient holidays Praise: "A great book. Moon Magick is a wonderful resource . . . a varied and rich collection of lore, recipes, and activities." --NEW AGE RETAILER "A wealth of magical material which can easily be incorporated into everyday life." --CIRCLE NETWORK NEWS "An excellent resource for all practitioners." --MAGICAL BLEND
This is the story of Sun sign astrology. The sort of astrology that makes up horoscope columns and leads to people believing that there are twelve types of people, described by their zodiac signs. Plenty of histories of astrology detail thousands of years of astrological practice and theory, highlighting famous practitioners, placing them in their historical context and describing their techniques. They rarely mention Sun sign astrology, which has its own exciting history. This book takes a different approach. In the West, popular and mass market astrology is Sun sign astrology, and it goes back a lot further than most people realise. This is the true story of Sun sign astrology.
