Astrology of the World I: The Ptolemaic Inheritance is the first in a series of three works of translations in traditional mundane astrology, from Latin and Arabic astrologers. Part 1 enumerates many methods of traditional weather prediction, including Lots and lunar mansions. Part 2 focuses on prices and commodities, predicting market fluctuations and supply and demand. Part 3 discusses the interpretation of eclipses and comets. Part 4 is an extensive look at chorography (assigning signs and planets to regions of the earth), including a complete discussion of climes and a guide to obscure place-names. Throughout, Dr. Benjamin Dykes provides commentary and extensive introductions to the astrology of Ptolemy, which is the basis of most of these techniques. It is a must-have for traditional astrologers and historians of astrology.

Relationships: lovers, partners, romantic interests. Each is represented by one of the houses of the horoscope and its ruling planets. In Relationships, Helen Adams Garrett explains what to look for in the progressed, natal, and transit horoscopes for insights into romance, partners, sex, types, and what the self seeks. She also addresses the importance of Mars and Mercury, and the Nodes and karma, concluding with a portrait of the ideal companion. Love, like, and lust are defined and differentiated. Specifics regarding marriage and divorce are also included in Relationships, with examples of both and the wedding chart. The author explains how to spot potential and actual stressors and danger signals in the marriage through progressions and transits in the wedding chart. Examples include Joan and Ted Kennedy, and the culmination of another marriage, where charts are delineated for the wedding and the filing and granting of divorce.

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.

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.

How to use the zodiac to manifest your life the way you were born to live it. Turning The Wheel of Your Zodiac Soul is the brand new approach and twelve-stage programme from leading astrologer, John Wadsworth. Teaching you how to use the Zodiac as a path to wholeness, John's method will reveal to you 'the revelation of you in the totality of who you are.' Drawing on over two thousand years of astrological tradition, John presents the zodiac soul using a wheel analogy: it is a wheel that is supposed to turn, but will inevitably get stuck and falter during the course of life's many challenges- whether these be around personal relationships, financial issues, health, career pressures or a low sense of self-worth. Through his programme, John reassuringly shows that these challenges all have their place in the wheel, and that our underlying fears and self-defeating behaviour patterns driving them can all be addressed and compassionately transformed. With John's assistance, you will learn to identify where the wheel gets stuck in your own life and get it turning again. Turning The Wheel of Your Zodiac Soul will offer you a way of making significant changes, guiding you to manifest the life you were born to live.

This is one of the most sophisticated medical astrology books ever written. Many of the finer points are dealt with. You know the head is ruled by Aries, but did you know the nasal bones are co-ruled by Scorpio? There are references to Vedic principles. A helpful diagram explains the subtle division of the urinary tract between Libra and Scorpio. Rulerships are given not only for areas of the body and its organs, but also for bones, muscles, arteries and veins. Terminology in the book is modern. Gemini's rulership of muscles includes the deltoid, biceps, supinator radii, subclavians, triceps, serratus anticus minor, pectoralis, palmaris, etc. Many chapters are unique, such as Chapter 5, on crystallization, and Chapter 6, on tonicity, atonicity, and perversion. This chapter also tells how pairs of planets mirror each other: Sun/Moon, Mars/Saturn, Jupiter/Venus, Uranus/Neptune, with Mercury as a receiver. Chapter 11 concerns many different kinds of planetary strengths, among them, aspect strength, mundane strength, natural strength (the planet in its natal sign) and directional strength. Chapter 13 gives astrological indicators for some specific diseases, a foretaste of what Charles Carter would expand upon in his famous Encyclopaedia of Psychological Astrology. This book was originally published as Alan Leo's Astrological Manual No. 9 in 1908. This is the second edition of 1914. There are references in this book to other books in the Alan Leo series, dealing with chart construction. This book is highly recommended by H.L. Cornell in his Encyclopaedia of Medical Astrology. Heinrich Daath's Medical Astrology is part of a comprehensive series of classic astro-medical texts published by Astrology Classics. Other books in the series include: - Joseph Blagrave: Astrological Practice of Physick, 1671 C.E.O. Carter: An Encyclopaedia of Psychological Astrology, 1954 H.L. Cornell: Encyclopaedia of Medical Astrology, 1933 Nicholas Culpeper: Astrological Judgement of Diseases from the Decumbiture of the Sick, 1655, and, Urinalia, 1658 Richard Saunders: The Astrological Judgement and Practice of Physick, 1677 Luke Broughton: The Elements of Astrology, 1898

Finally, a useful handbook on eclipse effects through the zodiac signs for everyone Eclipses create "surges" and "outages" of solar-lunar tides with numerous influences described for the reader's personal sign, (and globally too). Award-winning and popular astrological author Judith Hill details: health influences through twelve signs; global influences; personal strategies for harmonizing eclipse effects; traditional strategies; and the four types of "astrological" eclipses. Includes a brief technical astronomical section and a useful eclipse calendar through 2023. Strategies and traditional techniques are included for making the best use of eclipse "waves." Also includes eclipse conjunctions for all planets, and a useful advanced section for readers in the back. This book is perfect for both lay and advanced readers. This volume brings the secret knowledge of the past alive with Hill's modern, pragmatic twist. This is the most thorough book ever written on the subject

Detectives and CSI crews may work for weeks, months, sometimes years searching and piecing together forensic evidence to find the vital clues in solving a crime. With the use of planetary positions, houses, fixed stars and Arabic parts, forensic astrology gives investigators a head-start in discovering valuable information that can hasten crime solving.

In "Forensics by the Stars," author B. D. Salerno, an astrologer for more than twenty years, provides insight into the fascinating world of solving crimes and understanding both natural and manmade disasters by applying astrological science to interpreting event charts and revealing the clues they contain.

Providing interesting insights, "Forensics by the Stars" analyzes the murder of Marilyn Monroe, the Lindbergh kidnapping, several missing persons cases, and a number of natural and manmade disasters. Salerno explains how to interpret the event horoscopes and astrologic charts to help understand the outcome of certain events. Like threads of carpeting, blood spatter, or fingerprints, forensic astrology can reveal an astonishing amount of detail about an event.

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.

From the recognized authority comes the long-awaited revision of a pioneering masterwork. The Draconic chart is an extremely important element in a lucid multi-layered system, in which each zodiac expresses a distinctly different facet of human experience. This book focuses on the interaction between the familiar Tropical chart - describing the conditions of your current life - and the Draconic with its deep insights into your life's meaning: your driving principles, your spiritual purpose, your vocation, your karma. Twenty chapters and two appendices cover the history of Draconic and its meaning in the natal chart, in synastry, forecasting, rectification and even horary, with a host of examples. It also chronicles its author's own impassioned journey from her first apprenticeship to the discovery of Christ's Nativity.

This book first appeared in 1911. Alan Leo himself described it as the most remarkablebook ever published. In his previous books Leo told us how to calculate and interpretcharts, with a distinctly Theosophical slant.In this book, Leo (1860-1917), gives the prize secrets of the astrologer's craft. Among them, delineations for the Ruler of the Ascendant (aka chart ruler), including by sign and house. More broadly, he delineates each of the planets through the twelve houses in order to turn it about and delineate the rulers of those houses, based on the nature of the houses themselves: Finance (2), Travel (3), Environment (5), Enterprise (5), Sickness (6), Marriage and marriage prospects (7), Legacies (8), Philosophy (9), Profession (10), Friends (11), and the Occult (12). What do these houses in your chart say about you? Peek inside and find out Based on his lifetime's study, Leo gives succinct chart summaries. What life will be like if the majority of planets in your chart were in the East or West, above or below thehorizon, or the majority in fire, or air, or water, or earth signs, as well as cardinal, fixed or mutable. He gives special emphasis to the luminaries (Sun and Moon), delineating the pair of them both by element, as well as in all 144 possible combinationsof signs (polarities).In every chart there is a rising planet. Leo delineates it. The Moon's sign at birth gives a distinct color to the aura. Leo will tell you what yours is. What will the future bring? Leo gives delineations for progressed planets, including the progressedMoon by both sign and house. He concludes the book with a delineation for the King of England, George V.In his life, Alan Leo reintroduced astrology to the western world, a phenomenal achievement.

Minor aspects add a special flair to understanding any natal chart, and this book describes them all in detail. Vigintiles, semisextiles, noviles, semisquares, quintiles, and sesquiquadrates are all explained clearly and simply, making it easy to master this fascinating and little explored dimension of the cosmic craft. All the minor aspects between the Sun, Moon, planets, and asteroids are included, along with substantive delineation of planetary aspects and extensive keyword lists. Introductory matter features a special section on the astrological/planetary age cycles and their link to the various stages of life from birth to death. An appendix features a detailed, handy, and useful keyword list for major and minor aspects and their significance in approaching and departing aspect.

Retrograde planets are often among the most misunderstood factors in the horoscope, and thus so is their interpretation. And while many people are familiar with the traits associated with retrograde Mercury, the importance of the other planets when retrograde deserves at least as much if not more attention.In this book, Helen Adams Garrett takes a more in-depth look at retrogrades, including their cycles, and their meaning in the signs and when in major or minor aspect to the Sun. She also discusses the differences and similarities of heliocentric and geocentric retrograde planets.Included are chapters devoted to the meaning of retrograde planets as they relate to health, and the significance of progressed and transiting retrograde planets.

The title of this book, The Triple Witching Hour, is a Wall Street term for the end of the financial quarter. It has nothing to do with broomsticks and is unknown outside of the Street. In his third book of essays, Roell starts, appropriately enough, with an analysis of Occupy Wall Street, a short-lived protest movement which was brutally suppressed. This book will tell you why OWS failed and why astrology is essential for planning protest movements, or, for that matter, weddings and children, though you won't find them in this book. Roell then takes off the gloves. In an extraordinary bare-knuckle essay, Astrology Under Our Feet, Roell proves astrology does not fall from an empty sky, but is generated by the earth itself. We are soaked in astrology, from birth to death. Why the hostility from science? Roell finds the origins of modern science in the French Renaissance, which produced an Enlightenment that was a consensus dictat. It was based on a simplistic "science" vs: "superstition," which was formed at the very outset. In reality the Enlightenment was a clash between rich city vs: poor rural, bookish vs: hand-me-down. The Enlightenment amounts to city folk who do not know where milk comes from. Roell declares science to be a series of consensus-based fads. Over the long run, he says, as much quirky as correct. Proof? Roell says to read old science journals. Roell then sketches a new world with astrology, most particularly a new medicine, based on solid astrological analysis, rather than scientific guesswork. Roell declares astrology, like engineering but unlike science, to be based upon fundamental realities and is therefore permanent and unchanging. Along the way in this book, he adds lots of celebrity and political riff-raff for your amusement, a masterful tour de force of astrology at work. Enjoy

The events of the twenty-five years surrounding Pluto's discovery in 1930-such as Prohibition, the Great Depression, and the explosive beginning of the Atomic Age-cemented in many astrologers' minds the significance of this distant celestial body. However, as this original and insightful new book reveals, the common astrological wisdom regarding Pluto barely scratches the surface of what this planet's motion through the Zodiac can tell us. Taking a fresh look at Pluto's connection to events and people from 1945 to the present, Jim Trader's thorough research and careful analysis has uncovered several new and fascinating dimensions to Pluto's sphere of astrological influence. By casting new light on Pluto's natal and transiting meaning for the individual, its significance as a 'generational' planet, and the mythology behind the planet's name, "Hero & Wanderer" provides unique and timely insights into our Hero's Journey.

The inconjunct, which is also called the quincunx, is commonly referred to as a minor aspect. However, Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker present information in support of their viewpoint that the incojunct is a "not so minor" aspect. Associated with Mercury and the sixth house, and Mars, Pluto, and the eighth house, the inconjunct acts as a lens or focusing device between the spiritual will and the desire principle. Difficult situations are often a direct product of undisciplined thinking, which is the essence of the inconjunct. Undisciplined thoughts lead to situations in which people see themselves as victims of conditions over which they have no control. Disciplined thoughts, however, lead to positive manifestation. In this book, the authors delineate the natal and transiting aspects of the inconjunct, with a chapter devoted to each planet. Also included is introductory material about the meanings of the natal and transiting inconjunct.

In Contest Charts, Doris Chase Doane shares the secrets of determining winners and losers in a variety of championship contests, including: football and baseball games; political elections; boxing, golf and tennis matches; individual sports; and awards competitions. The author explains, through the use of extensive examples, how to read the chart for the time a question is asked regarding the outcome of the event. In addition, the importance of the timing and wording of the question are explained in detail.

Modern Horary Astrology is a formidable compilation of 60 years of observation and research. Based on approximately 10,000 horary charts erected by the author, more than 125 clearly defined and diverse horoscopes are shown and explained in detail.The first five chapters focus on the rules for reading a horary chart. Subsequent chapters feature queries pertaining to matters reflecting each of 12 houses, with additional chapters devoted to specific house-related events such as marriage, divorce, lost articles, health and missing persons.A particularly fascinating horary example is included in one chapter. After a year of marriage, a woman asked if she would have any children, having been told by her physician that she was barren. Here, the author demonstrates how to view the horary chart from a long-term perspective and coordinate it with the natal and progressed chart. The horary chart also was progressed, and the author accurately predicted the outcome.Another interesting concept in this book that deviates from traditional horary methods is the question of non-radical charts. Even though a chart might appear unreadable because the Ascendant is less than three degrees or more than 27 degrees or the Moon void-of-course, there are times when it can be read.Modern Horary Astrology takes the complexity out of horary chart mechanics and clearly exemplifies how this valuable branch of astrology can be of assistance in answering an extensive range of questions.

From the Introduction: You have economic hard times to thank for this book. I am by profession a bookseller. In 2007, a friend suggested a newsletter as a way of enhancing book sales. I think she had monthly specials, promo sheets and upcoming new titles in mind, but I was too dense for that. Instead I wrote on topics of my own fancy. The first two years, 2007-9, when the newsletter appeared monthly were, well, dreadful. The week that Venus went retrograde in March, 2009, with the stock market stabilizing after months of plunging, I shifted from a monthly single-page newsletter, to a weekly three-pager. I followed a three-page format for a couple of years. Most of the worth-while essays were compiled in my first book, Skeet Shooting for Astrologers. Two years later in March, 2011, with the economy ever more bleak and myself running out of ideas, I started writing celebrity delineations and in the process broke out of a rigid format. The delineation of Jon Stewart, of the Daily Show, was the first of these. Retrograde Venus has turned up in a surprising number of the charts I've written about, given its rarity, among them, the chart for the Republican Party, as well as the charts for Rep. Ron Paul, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Jon Stewart, and some others. No, my Venus is not retrograde. Essays are in order of publication, in part as I think organizing by topic makes for a boring block of reading. The book starts with the last of the 2-column essays from the original 3-page weekly. Meanwhile the economy is now in the fifth year of straight decline. I do wish the people in charge of the country would just send us all envelopes stuffed with cash. I can live on barter just as well as money, but when that happens there will be no authors, there will be no books, there will be no commerce. Money has its uses.

This book contains a translation of the Introduction to Astrology by the 4th century astrologer Paul of Alexandria, with the Medieval Scholia, an excerpt from the Commentary by Heliodorus (or Olympiodorus) and some Notes on the Astronomical matters mentioned by Paul.

I am a Chironic astrologer. You won't find that word in the dictionary, but there are quite a few of us, and our number is increasing day by day. We are astrologers who believe that discovering the truth is more important than personal theories, and also that we should always keep our minds open to the ideas of others. By the time you finish reading this book you will know even more about what a Chironic astrologer is. Perhaps you, too, may like to become one. Who knows, perhaps you already are one. - Zane Stein
