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

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.

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.

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.

The power of the Zodiac has influenced the destinies of woman and man, since the first starlight twinkle shone down upon a stilled and silent Earth. Artist and author, Roberto Mendoza proudly presents his own series of original Zodiac designs along with a little gentle guidance to help illuminate the way for all those seeking wisdom from the heavens.

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

Astrology is probably the most complex and sophisticated method of describing life that has ever been discovered or developed by human beings. The whole pattern never repeats, and yet this infinite variability is achieved with the different forms of the twelve sides of life. These twelve sides of life are what the author terms the twelve-letter alphabet of astrology. In this context she discusses the similarities of the house-sign-planet combinations, the elements and qualities, the exaltations, and the dilemmas presented by the cardinal, fixed and mutable influences. Also explored are the asteroids, fixed stars, the Vertex, and decanates and dwads. An example delineation of Billie Jean King's chart is followed by a discussion of ethical astrology.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Allan explains how to improve natal chart interpretation and predictive accuracy with this revised delineation of the lunar nodes.

Astrology for Career Success How to Analyze Career Choices and Timing Author Gayle Geffner has built a substantial astrological consulting practice specializing in career counseling. Her unique and innovative approach includes her "at least three charts method" which emphasizes the importance of finding repeated themes in the horoscope. She shares thorough case studies on four of her clients who granted permission for her to use their stories in demonstration of her methodology. Additionally, a number of public figure charts are shown to illustrate various astrological configurations. This book assumes a reader with at least an intermediate knowledge of basic astrology. Although a novice can certainly learn from this material-each case study begins with basic natal analysis-a variety of forecasting techniques and more advanced methods are also included, such as derivative houses, transits, solar and lunar returns, midpoints, solar arcs and also two examples of 90 dial work (as used in the Cosmobiology system). All case studies involve some personal issues of the clients, but are primarily pointed toward chart analysis and specifically, to the counseling experience as it relates to career choices and the timing of actions regarding career. The author demonstrates a subtle way of instilling confidence into clients with positive input, even during difficult times. This book will be helpful to readers who seek personal career satisfaction, or want to explore new career options. It is a valuable addition to the library of any practicing astrologer who is interested in counseling methods, especially as related to career choices and timing.

The author appropriately terms planetary directions as co-determinants of fate. Rather than view directions as simply fateful, he sees them as life companions along with the many other circumstances, conditions, and influences that shape life and human destiny. With this central philosophy in mind, the author first defines planetary directions and their significance in astrological forecasting. More than 100 examples illustrate the important planetary factors involved in both favorable and unfavorable relationships, separations, births, miscarriages, accidents and injuries, illness and surgery, and success and failure. There are also chapters devoted to directions involving Mars-Jupiter, Jupiter-Pluto, Uranus-Pluto, Mars-Neptune, and Saturn-Sun. Extensive appendices include a quick reference guide for directions involved in many specific life events.
