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.

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.

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.

Pagan Astrology for the Spirit and Soul explores and emphasizes an astrology that emphasizes the Moon and the dynamics of polarity in the form of masculine-feminine relationships. This non-traditional approach to astrology is both fun and enlightening, opening the heart and mind to new insights in the birth chart using the symbolism of a Wiccan coven. Ideal for pagan divinatory studies, it has much to offer all astrologers. Designed to trigger the reader's intuitive gifts through words as imagery, Pagan Astrology for the Spirit and Soul takes a close look at each of the planets, placing them in the context of the time-honored roles of the coven. In this context Alice Miller presents the human personality as a coven, a blueprint for the whole being. 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.

In The Plain Vanilla Astrologer you'll read about a wide variety of astrological techniques in common use by most astrologers, but you'll also learn about several older methods found in very few, if any, other current books. You'll view 33 charts as Pat Geisler tells you about them. Her style is informal, while still very informative, and sometimes sparks a chuckle-such that the reader can easily imagine how it could feel to be a student in a class Pat is teaching-and enjoying it very much, while also gaining a wealth of useful information. This is not a book for new beginners. It assumes that the reader knows at least the introductory basics of astrology. It covers a wealth of astrological techniques in a way that illuminates them.

A book for astrology's future. A fresh approach to cycles that acknowledges the subtler, background energy at work in our evolving lives. The Western equivalent of Vedic planetary periods There is a lingering effect of the transmissions from the outer three planets that the personality must incorporate, develop and evolve over a span of time or Resonance Phase. This evolution takes longer than the actual ending of the mathematical transit as we know it. Time is a continuum and your natal chart resonates with the past as well as the future. Numerical links (by degree) in every chart correspond to both the past and to the future - a continuum of energy reaching backwards and forwards in time, to which we are always responding on subtler, background levels.

Luke Broughton was born in 1828, in Leeds, England. He was from a long line of English astrologers, who were taught as children by their fathers. He emigrated to America. His fortunes in life, his struggles to promote astrology, mirrored the North-South struggle over slavery. He fought proposed anti-astrology legislation in Pennsylvania, but his efforts were unsuccessful. In New York, Broughton was libeled, his mail stolen, his lectures disrupted, his family assaulted. Yet he persevered. His book, The Elements of Astrology, was the first serious astrology book published in America. It is both a text-book of the astrology of his day, as well as a history of Broughton's life and times. He died in 1898, shortly after his book was published. In this book are charts for both Lincoln's and Garfield's assassinations, as well as for the murders which for which Lizzie Borden was accused, and also the natal charts of Queen Victoria, Presidents George Washington, William McKinley, Grover Cleveland, William Henry Harrison and Ulysses Simpson Grant. There are extensive delineations of physical appearance, as well as notes on rectification by means of appearance. Luke Broughton established astrology in America, when no one else could. He was the pioneer of astrology in America.
