Most text-books, including the one for which I am personally responsible, are mainly of an analytical character and do not attempt to guide the reader far along the path that leads to proficiency in horoscopic delineation. In fact, few attempts have been made to attack this problem, and for a good reason-it is so difficult. Delineation is an art and it cannot be taught as one teaches merely factual knowledge. It comes with experience, if the student have the right inborn aptitudes; that is all that can be said. However, there seems to me to be a sort of border-land that lies beyond the realms of purely text-book teaching and yet is within the scope of instruction. No one can make a student into a good delineator, and, on the other hand, almost anyone with moderate teaching ability can inculcate the alphabet of astrology: between these two extremes there is a field wherein, I think, experience can help inexperience and some general principles can be formulated and explained. This is what I have attempted here, illustrating my ideas in separate chapters that deal with important classes of psychological condition. This book is designed to follow The Principles of Astrology and may be read in conjunction with The Astrological Aspects and The Encyclopaedia of Psychological Astrology. Charles E.O. Carter

AstroLog II: Family, Relationships & Health Creators of their own system of astrological psychology and founders of the Swiss Astrological Psychology Institute, Bruno and Louise Huber have taught a new dynamic direction of astrology for over forty years, summarised in their eight books on astrological psychology. There is now a substantial body of experience in the use and refinement of the 'Huber Method' documented in the German-language magazine 'AstroLog'. AstroLog II presents a second selection of articles, by various authors including the Hubers, translated into English for the first time. Their subjects relate to astrological psychology and its use in the context of family members, personal relationships and individual health.

Astrologically, the daily transit refers to the longitudinal position of each planet in its daily passage. As each planet reaches a one-degree mathematical relationship to a planet in the natal chart, a situation, event or attitude occurs. The influence of the aspect is not always subjective; it may be objectively demonstrated in the environment, or in a relationship with another person. For example, with a Mars transit, you may not be energetic, tempestuous, zestful, passionate, constructive, or destructive. But you may see an accident in the street; watch TV violence; contact a lusty, robust friend; find competition and stress in your work environment; or observe someone who is excited or acting in haste. In all astrological aspects there is a hierarchy of precedence that tends to be preemptive. The prime determinant is the innate character. The law of precedence states: The aspect that fits best into the character will take precedence over the aspect that is foreign to the character. This thoroughly researched and well written volume will answer all your questions about what to expect when transits occur.

Here is a deft and enlightening perspective on weight control with an astrological perspective that synthesizes body, mind and soul. You'll enjoy the little vignettes of the princess burdened by excess weight who had tried it all, until she met a wise little elf who gave her the answers she searched for, in return for her promise to pass along the knowledge.

Flynn conveys her practical astrological wisdom as she takes you on a journey of self-discovery that offers hope and encouragement. Beginners in astrology will find Flynn's approach both interesting and accessible, and experienced astrologers will appreciate the clarity of her approach.

Does a planet in a sign have the same meaning in every horoscope? Yes and no. Although everyone with a specific planet in a specific sign shares common characteristics, each displays subtle differences depending upon what degree the planet occupies within that sign. These differences explain why, for example, one person with Mercury in Capricorn is practical and another is more creative or family-oriented, or has a strong desire to be in the spotlight. Both the three decanates (the ten-degree divisions of each sign) and the twelve duads (the two and a half-degree divisions of each sign) reveal sign characteristics specific to the individual, each of which is defined by the degree of the planet in the sign. Using decanates and duads, you can discover much more about every planet in the horoscope, as well as the signs on the anglesthe Midheaven, IC, Ascendant and Descendant. And this, in turn, will lead to new insights into relationships, career choice, communication style, finances and life purpose and goals.

Though individual asteroids or planetoids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter may be small, they are bound to exert influences in the horoscope. In light of this conclusion, they must also exert the same type of cross chart influence in the area of relationships. With this premise, Emma Belle Donath wrote Asteroids in Synastry. Using her vast store of mythological as well as astrological lore, she tells the myths of the four major asteroids, as well as giving keyword lists and rulerships for each. In the body of the book she gives delineation of the asteroids using the most accepted forms of synastry (person A's planets in person B's chart and vice versa). In addition, she gives some of the major aspect configurations between charts, and takes a brief look at composite charts and contact cosmograms. Several example charts are used to illustrate asteroid use in this manner. This is the definitive text for using asteroids in synastry.

How to Read Cosmodynes fills an important need in the astrological field. Many know of this method of measuring the relative power of the planets, signs and houses, but few know how to use it in their daily astrological practice. Yet it can be the key to seemingly inexplicable factors in an individual horoscope. Cosmodyne patterns indicate how delays, obstacles and confusion can be avoided. They point to where the energy-expenditure should be directed, how it should be channeled, and the associations which will enhance the demonstration of success. Once you experiment with the use of cosmodynes, you will never give them up. Probably you'll wonder how you managed to do without them for so long.
