The Witness of the Stars stands as one of the best explanations of
the constellations in the context of Biblical wisdom. This edition
includes all of E. W. Bullinger's original charts and illustrations
of the heavens above. To compose this book, E. W. Bullinger used
his Biblical scholarship alongside research of the origins of the
astronomical constellations. He demonstrates, through a close
reading of the Old and New Testaments, how each of the star signs
relates to the Bible's stories. Gradually, it is revealed how God
makes himself known to us through the Bible's astronomy. The
symbolism of the star signs are shown as important in the Bible.
Their presence in verse relates not simply to their appearances,
such as Libra's scales or Aries as a ram, but also the way in which
Biblical figures behave after looking at the heavens for guidance.
The Book of Job is highlighted by Bullinger for being significantly
influenced by the stars.

astrological concepts that can instantly be used to construct and
interpret charts.
In the Divine Comedy Dante tells the story of a pilgrim (himself)
who is guided through the realms of the dead - Hell, Purgatory and
Paradise - and the lessons about fortune and destiny that he learns
along the way. This medieval work is of great interest to modern
astrologers. Although astrologers, along with diviners and
magicians, were placed in Hell, Dante's great poem is full of
astrology; the poem's redemptive journey contains frequent
references to the four elements, the four angles formed by the
Ascendant and Meridian, and the planets and stars of astrology.
This book offers the reader an understanding of Dante's vast
cosmology within the poem's moral, spiritual and dramatic contexts;
it is an especially valuable resource for those interested in the
intersection of cosmology or astrology and spirituality. The final
section of this book explores Inferno 20 and discusses the
relationship of astrological practice to that of divination, magic,
and prophecy. We see that Dante's astrology is an expression of
nature (and super-nature) that is ordered but subject to change,
and, in the earthly realm, subject to decline and the need for
regeneration. There are specific philosophical traditions
underpinning The Divine Comedy's astrology - are these traditions
also within modern astrology? We find that astrology itself, like
Dante's great poem, also dwells between the turnings of personal
Fortune and the purposeful universe of Providence.

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.
In today's world, at least 90 percent of Americans under age thirty
are said to know their Sun sign, yet no one has ever really delved
into answering the question: Is astrology really a science?
Tapan Das earned master and doctorate degrees in electronic
engineering and his passion for astrology is evident as he shares
the results of his years of intense research into the fascinating
and complex realm of astrology and cosmology. Das clarifies why
astrology is based on statistical analysis, provides reasons why
astrology is a science, and explains each reason in detail. A
concise overview of astrology is included, providing an
introduction describing why astrology can predict how the stars and
planets will influence a person's life, positively or negatively,
and explaining both the past and present as well as outline the
future.
"Why Astrology is Science: Five Good Reasons" is written for
scientists, astrologers, and those with a keen interest to learn a
new perspective on astrology that is sure to inspire a renewed
sense of wonder about stars and planets and how their patterns and
relationships hold significant meaning for all of us.
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.
