Victor Olliver is one of the UK's leading media and consultant astrologers with a weekly star-signs column in the legendary The Lady magazine and a weekly astrology segment on global radio Apple-FM. Rachel Johnson in The Mail on Sunday profiled his work in 2012. And his many accurate forecasts include the outcome of the US presidential and London mayoral elections in 2012 as well as the safe landing and success of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. Victor says: "I wrote Lifesurfing for people who are both playful and ambitious, who don't take everything they read and hear as gospel, but who judge things for themselves and can discriminate. Even to the sceptic I would say: 'Put astrology to the test for a year and see for yourself how it identifies the right moments to strike.'" He adds: "To underline the fact that Lifesurfing takes a fresh approach, I asked for a book cover that does not feature stars, constellations, horoscope wheels and glyphs or mediaeval artwork featuring naked stone virgins."

Long out of print and hard to find, this is the most celebrated book on eclipses of the last seventy years. In this book, learn the unique astronomical factors that create eclipses and why some eclipses are total while others are not. Learn how the Chaldeans discovered the Saros cycle in the sixth century BC, which is still in use today. Learn how the Greeks discovered the Metonic cycle. Find out how the Saros cycle is used in forecasting the effects of eclipses. Jansky gives the astrological key for all 19 of the Saros series. The author uses his understanding of eclipse mechanics in analysis. He uses the twelve houses of the chart, planets conjunct and opposed, the Saros series, fixed stars conjunct the eclipse as well as stars rising or setting on the horizon (ascendant/descendant), the planetary ruler, and the path of the Moon's shadow (the umbra) as it races across the earth during the eclipse itself. Jansky's interpretation of eclipses is rooted in Transactional Analysis (what I do to you becomes what you do to me, etc.), which, astrologically, is the study of polarities, which is what lunar and solar eclipses literally represent, and how these polarities, expressed as opposing signs and houses, can be resolved in terms of human relationships. Jansky delves into the astrological duration of an eclipse, prenatal eclipses, eclipses in rectification and eclipses and health. For case studies he tells of an eclipse-driven corporate crisis at his employer and how it impacted him, his fellow employees, and the management. In the data section, solar eclipses for the 20th century: Date, degree of the zodiac, total, partial or annular, and the Saros number. Also, longitudes of major fixed stars and general and medical bibliographies. A comprehensive book on eclipses. A must-have.

This is a new release of the original 1943 edition.

Throughout history, astrology was considered a scholarly tradition, relied upon by world leaders, philosophers and spiritual teachers to guide civilizations in all areas of life. Historically, astrology was accepted in political and academic contexts, and was connected with astronomy, alchemy, meteorology and medicine. Although since the end of the 17th century, science called astrology into question, many scholars are now reviving its role in shaping our understanding of the world. Buddhist Astrology is a form of archetypal astrology that helps us understand the role of the cosmic cycles in relation to our understanding and identification with Buddhist philosophy and mythology. It helps us understand the role of interdependence, a primary Buddhist belief, with our personal genetics, family history, education, and other social and cultural influences. Buddhist Astrology recognizes that there is a critical need to balance the physical world around us with conditions we were born into, from a karmic or cosmic perspective. The interdependence of these factors makes us able to live in a world full of choices while honoring the basic dynamic trends pulling us in one direction or another.

The Moon Sign is one of the most important astrological features, but only a few people know their Moon Sign. The book explains how to find out your Moon Sign and shows on many examples how it works in the lives of celebrities. The knowledge of your Moon Sign will help you to discover your hidden talents, to better understand people around you, and to live a healthier and happier life. So what the Moon Sign is? You probably know your "star sign" which is defined from the date of birth - when reading a "horoscope" in a newspaper or a magazine, you select the one for your "star sign." In fact, "star sign" is just a marketing term introduced by newspapers and magazines, it doesn't exist in real astrology. The astrological characteristic misnamed as "star sign" is actually the Sun Sign, i.e. the sign of the zodiac in which the Sun was situated at the moment of your birth. Okay, so you already know your Sun Sign, but still, what is the Moon Sign? It's the sign of the zodiac through which the Moon was traveling at the moment when you were born. The Moon is somewhat underestimated in Western Astrology but it is considered to be the main celestial body in Hindu Astrology, with its uninterrupted, thousands years old tradition. Once you discover your Moon Sign, you'll feel like you've recognised something important, essential about yourself. You'll better understand your strengths an weaknesses and, if you want to dive that deep, you might even discover why you have chosen to live this life. These are just a few curious facts from the book: * Both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have pioneering Aries for their Moon Sign. * Angelina Jolie and her father, Jon Voight, also share the same Moon Sign, and also Aries. * Moon in Taurus gave the world some of the most popular authors including O. Henry, Alexandre Dumas, Ian Fleming and Hans Christian Andersen. * Quite surprisingly, the Moon in Taurus also gave the world some of the prominent mystics: Edgar Cayce, Carlos Castaneda, Emanuel Swedenborg, Jane Roberts. Carl Gustav Jung was also born with the Moon in Taurus, and some people could say he was also a mystic. * Gemini is the Moon Sign of the many of the prominent world's leaders including Simon Bolivar, Catherine the Great, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Helmut Kohl. And you know what? Barack Obama is also in this company. * Moon in Cancer gave birth to a whole presidential dynasty Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt were all born with the Moon in Cancer. * Here is another Moon Sign presidential connection: both George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush have diplomatic Libra for their Moon Sign. * Some of the coolest movie heroes - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, George Clooney - were all born with the Moon in Capricorn. In the book, you will find many more surprises and discoveries.

The natal chart can be compared to the face of a clock that contains the entire potential of character tendencies and probable events. Although the potential is there at the moment of birth, it is not all expressed at that moment. As the days, months, and years unfold, chart progressions and other factors bring certain potential developments into focus. Then the transiting planets, representing outside circumstances, and the aspects they make to a chart, indicate a specific day for an event, whether it is to begin a new study, to marry, to have a child, to make a move, or to step on a nail. Thus does the cosmic rhythm establish the timing of all things. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, and this is one of the best reasons for each individual to know the potential pattern of his or her natal chart, which is the road map of life's journey. In this context and using a multitude of astrological techniques and examples, Priscilla Gilbert explains how to identify accident patterns in the chart. Included are examples of those who survived serious accidents, as well as those that were fatal.

Each planet is explored through its sign position and role, with special attention given to the section on the outer planets and the incoming Age of Aquarius. The planets: The Moon: The High Priestess Moon; The Sun: The High Priest; Venus: The Maiden; Mars: The Maiden's Working Partner; Mercury: The Fetch; Jupiter: Mercury's Partner; Saturn: The Traditionalist; Uranus: Saturn's Partner; Neptune: The Subconscious Master; Pluto: Mother of Rebirth.

The use of dwads is amazingly effective in chart interpretation, providing the specifics and particulars that are otherwise out of reach. These divisions of the zodiac provide subtle but powerful details that enable a fine-tuning of the chart and interpretation of the most insightful aspects of personality. Author Thyrza Escobar takes this one step further as she discusses and explains the Faces of the signs, the positive and negative areas of the zodiac and the decans, while incorporating what she learned from well-known German astrologer Carl Leipert. The most important and insightful sections of The 144 Doors of the Zodiac, however, are those that focus on the 144 duodenary divisions of the zodiac, which reveal a zodiac within each sign, and the dwad-houses, a technique that gives fresh meaning to each of the houses. The book includes a section devoted to each sign, with details about the dwad-sign and dwad-house, including quality, element, sub-ruler, and the correspondence of each house for that particular sign to element, quality, and planet. Dwad-houses and dwad-signs within each sign are also explained in terms of their influence in personal interests, achievements, relationships, feelings, actions, emotions, and thinking, all of which can add new depth to chart interpretation. Also included is information regarding interpretation of the number of planets in a dwad-house. The author provides similar information about the planets in the dwad-signs and specific aspects.
