In a work of profound interest to students of Christianity and
astrology alike, E.W. Bullinger uses astronomy, celestial charts,
and quotations from the Bible to make his case for the existence of
God's Word within the movements and configurations of the stars
themselves. Beginning with proof in Psalm 19 that "the Creator both
numbered as well as named the stars of heaven," Bullinger
interprets each of the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac as they relate to
biblical prophecy, arriving at some interesting-and
controversial-conclusions. British clergyman ETHELBERT WILLIAM
BULLINGER (1837-1913) was one of the most respected Bible scholars
of the 19th century. He is author of numerous works including
Commentary on Revelation, Great Cloud of Witnesses, and How to
Enjoy the Bible.

When we are born, each one of us is given a name-a name so
unique and purposeful that each letter in it has certain vibrations
and energies that correlate to the signs and planets of the zodiac.
In her comprehensive guidebook, Linda Bender shares insight into an
ancient science that explains the power and association of letters
and words that allows others to unlock the secrets that lie hidden
within a name, including who we are, why we are here, where we are
going, and how we can get there.
Bender, an astrologer and acrophonoligist, relies on inclusive
notes from fellow astrologer Pepe Applegate in order to offer
practical tools that help students understand and analyze the
vibrational qualities of a name and its relationship to the planets
at the time of birth. After detailing the complex background of
acrophonology, Bender provides step-by-step guidance on how to
investigate the letters in a name and apply that knowledge to our
own lives and personalities in order to create a happier
existence.
"Acrophonology" provides valuable information about unmistakable
and repeated correlations between astrological factors in birth
charts and letters in birth names that empowers anyone to heal from
within and ultimately discover their true potential.
Horary is the branch of astrology that provides clear, specific

guide by a modern master of horary shows you how to answer it. The
first edition of this book quickly established itself as a classic
of astrological teaching. Now this master of the craft shares his
deepening understanding, bringing what he has learned in the
intervening years of teaching and practice to clarify, expand upon,
and correct the original text. With the wit and lucidity that
characterise his writing, the author guides all from beginners to
seasoned practitioners to the very heart of horary astrology.

Originally published in 1938, this book is a fascinating look at
the yogis of India at that time, both fakir and fake. "The witty
and instructive author of New Guinea Gold has now visited India and
has made a careful study of the supposed supernatural powers of the
Hindu mystic. M. Demaitre warns the reader that the more
picturesque performers are very likely to be in the employment of a
travel agency, and that their usual repertoire would disgrace any
competent European conjurer. At the same time he admits to having
been very thoroughly mystified on several occasions. For the
benefit of more serious students there is a sound exposition of the
theory and practice of contemplation and the book is illustrated
with some enlightening and unusual photographs." Many of the
earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

This thoroughly researched book is a history of the development of
Western horoscopic astrology from its origin among the Babylonians
and its subsequent creation in its present form by the Alexandrians
down to modern times. Special attention is given to background
history and to the working conditions and techniques used by
astrologers during the last two thousand years. Numerous footnotes
provide additional information and bibliographic references. A
separate bibliography lists reference sources of particular
importance. Two comprehensive indices containing more than 2,800
individual entries enable the reader to locate persons, publishers,
topics, and book and periodical titles that are mentioned in the
history. The book also contains discussions of several questions
and topics relating to astrology.
The zodiac was first clearly defined by the Babylonians some 2500
years ago, but until recently the basis of this original definition
remained unknown. This zodiac of the Babylonians, known as the
sidereal zodiac because it is specified in direct relation to the
stars (Latin sideris, 'starry'), was used for centuries throughout
the ancient world, all the way to India, and must be distinguished
from the tropical zodiac in widespread use by astrologers in the
West today, which was introduced only in the middle of the second
century A.D. by the Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy. Such was
Ptolemy's influence, however, that the tropical zodiac gained
prominence and, except for its survival (in a variant form) in
India, knowledge of the sidereal zodiac was lost. In this thrilling
study of the history of the zodiac, first submitted in 2004 as his
Ph.D. thesis, Robert Powell rescues the the sidereal zodiac from
the dusts of time, tracing it back to the Babylonians in the
sixth/fifth centuries B.C. The implications of this discovery-among
them the restitution of the sideral zodiac to its rightful place at
the heart of astrology-are immense, they key point being that the
signs of the sidereal zodiac, each thirty degrees long, coincide
closely with the twelve astronomical constellations of the same
name, whereas the signs of the tropical zodiac, since they are
defined in relation to the vernal point, now have no direct
relationship to the corresponding zodiacal constellations, owing to
the precession of the equinoxes.This revolutionary history of the
zodiac includes chapters on the Egyptian decans and the Hindu
nakshatras, showing how these sidereal divisions, which originated
in Egypt and India, are related to the original Babylonian zodiac.
It also sheds light on the controversy surrounding the 'zodiac
question' (tropical vs. sidereal), illuminating the history of the
tropical zodiac-showing that originally it was not a zodiac at all,
but a calendar for describing the course of the seasons This book,
the fruit of thirty years of research, is intended not only for
scholars but for general readers as well, and offers the clearest
and most comprehensive study of the history of the zodiac yet
published.
