Historically, we are at the end of the Piscean Age, standing on the
brink of the Age of Aquarius. People with intercepted planets have
a key role in this transition, in the development of consciousness,
because they were born outside the general consciousness. Their
lives are as different as their charts. They are the Possibility
People. They have reincarnated to assist the World with the
transition to the Age of Aquarius.Like every Possibility Person,
"My journey is far more significant that the physical events of my
life," writes Alice. "It really began when I was taking algebra. I
remember thinking that somewhere there should be something like an
algebraic equation that could be applied to all of life."Nearing my
Uranus Opposition, I was looking for answers for my own odd-looking
life when astrology entered it. Immediately, I was confronted with
my own interception. Not finding answers in existing texts, I was
haunted by questions - questions that led me within. Gradually,
answers came and my practice provided a wonderful testing ground
for them. This book is a result.In this second Interception book,
Alice Miller explains the core issues and the nuances of
intercepted planets - psychologically, in everyday and family life,
and as a means to expand consciousness. Her goal is that of
healing, overcoming, teaching, and sharing the wisdom that comes
with rising consciousness. In this book you will find in-depth
chapters on each planet, the Nodes and Fortuna when caught in an
intercepted sign. It explains the differences that interception
makes to each, as well as how that difference affects the signs and
houses it rules including problems in early years and the gifts
they finally bring.
The year before he wrote his famous book on fixed stars, Vivian
Robson (1890-1942) wrote this one. In it, he put the distillation
of four years intense work, spent in the British Museum Reading
Room, where he studied very nearly every astrology book ever
written, in English and Latin. To this day, he is virtually the
only man to have ever undertaken a study of this magnitude.What
makes the Student's Text-Book of Astrology unique is its
unparalleled wealth of detail. Topics include Personal Appearance,
Character and Mind, Health and Accidents, Finance, Occupation, and
much more. For each, Robson gives specific rules of judgment and
then supplies aphorisms collected from many ancient sources. The
result is one of the most comprehensive astrology books ever
written.." . . I]n private conversation he would talk for hours on
the science of which he was a master. Indeed, his knowledge, not
only of astrology but of many other sciences, was phenomenal; and
few who enjoyed his conversation could fail to go away with an
enhanced knowledge of whatever subject had been under discussion.He
will be remembered best by his two chief books, A Student's
Text-book of Astrology and The Fixed Stars and Constellations in
Astrology. Of these the former is deservedly popular and the latter
is a classic, containing as it does a mass of information dating
from the days of Greek mythology up to modern times." - C.E.O.
Carter "I have heard him converse knowledgeably on a dozen and one
different subjects. I really believe he knew something about
everything, but so far as astrology was concerned his versatility
showed forth in a phenomenal knowledge of his subject. To converse
on astrology with him, even if only for one short hour, was
inevitably to gain something new and valuable in the way of
experience and information." - Dorothy Ryan In this Memorial

Hugh S. Torrens' monograph, Curator Turned Astrologer; an

Book No. 2 of Alan Leo's Astrological Manuals Series. This is a
book for beginners and is an elementary work on astrology. It fully
explains the meaning of a horoscope in all senses of the word, with
all calculations avoided.
Seeing in the pattern of the astrological symbols both the
development of ego and the path beyond ego's restrictions, Tim
Lyons discusses the relationship between astrology and perennial
wisdom. The first three chapters present thought-provoking ideas
about the development of awareness through the stages described by
the planets, signs, and houses. Succeeding chapters explore the
role of relationships and emotion in our spiritual development, the
evolutionary potential symbolized by the outer planets, and the
importance of collective projections. The final chapter explores
the relationship between our ideas about freedom and astrological
time-analysis. Astrology Beyond Ego concludes with an appendix that
explains some astrological correlations to the Buddhist
Abhidharma.Tim Lyons has been an astrologer for more than 30 years.
He has contributed to two of Llewellyn's New World Astrology series
(How to Manage the Astrology of Crisis, 1993; Astrology Looks at
History, 1995), been a columnist for American Astrology (now Your
Daily Horoscope) since 1990, and contributed numerous astrology
articles to Welcome to Planet Earth and The Mountain Astrologer. He
has also contributed to The East West Journal, The Liguorian,
Chrysalis, The Vajradhatu Sun, Bodhi Magazine, ETC., The Vocabula
Review, and various newspapers and given numerous lectures both in
Colorado and elsewhere. He has a B.A. in English Literature from
Occidental College in Los Angeles (1971) and an M.A. in Creative
Writing from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (1974). He
works as a writing instructor at the University of Colorado and
maintains an active astrology practice.
Most introductory astrology books, such as this one, are content to
teach you the ABC's of astrology: Planets, signs, houses, aspects,
pretty much in that order. You're then congratulated that, by the
time you reach the end of the book, you can look up the individual
pieces and spit out canned interpretations, by rote. Vivian Robson
(1890-1942, a man, by the way), expected better. Here is an
example: "Having found the significator of the matter concerned
interpret all aspects to it as things and people affecting it.
Suppose Jupiter were chief significator of money and afflicted by
Saturn. We should judge that money matters would be hampered by
poor conditions, depressing surroundings, ill-health, or whatever
Saturn signified in that horoscope. In other words, we should give
Jupiter the chief consideration as significator of the matter
enquired into, and interpret the action of Saturn in its relation
to Jupiter, and not vice-versa. On the other hand if Saturn were
the significator we should judge that fits of generosity or
extravagance would affect the finances, because Jupiter is
expansive in its action, and its afflicting aspect would cause
trouble and loss. This general judgment is then refined by taking
into account the sign and house occupied by the aspecting planet,
and the houses it rules. Thus, suppose with Saturn as significator
that Jupiter threw an adverse aspect from the 5th house. Then we
should judge that the extravagance would arise from too much
indulgence in pleasure, or from gambling, or other matters ruled by
the 5th house. This would be modified by the sign containing
Jupiter. A water sign would incline more to self-indulgence, a
fiery one to gambling, a sign ruled by Venus to expenditure on
women, and so on, thus enabling us to enlarge on the judgement
obtained from the house position alone. We should next look to see
what houses Jupiter ruled. If it ruled the 3rd we should judge
expense and extravagance over journeys, relatives and other third
house matters, and by blending the influences, that gambling losses
(5th) would come through the advice of relatives (3rd) or some
other appropriate blending. . . . "This, however, is not the only
way the influences would work. . . . There is method to be used,
and it is one which needs considerable practice, but it is
well-worth the trouble involved, and the student will himself be
amazed to find how accurately the most trifling details may be
predicted. "As a word of advice to the beginner I would say - Do
not be afraid to let yourself go in this way. You will make many
mistakes to start with, but it is the only way to make your
Astrology of practical use. There is too great a tendency nowadays
to float about in a comfortable haze of so-called esotericism. The
first need of Astrology is accuracy and definition, not
pseudo-religious speculation, and it is only by concentrating on
the practical and scientific side that we can really make Astrology
of service, and obtain for it the recognition it deserves." (pgs.
110-113: go have a look) Someday a picture of the man will be
found. Until then, read his books
"In my years of practice as a physician, I have, by the use of
Astrology, been able to very quickly locate the seat of the
disease, the cause of the trouble, the time when the patient began
to feel uncomfortable, as based on the birth data of the patient,
and this without even touching or examining the patient, and my
intense desire to get this knowledge and wisdom before students and
Healers in a classified form, is the reason for this Encyclopaedia.
. . . When once you have discovered the cause of the disease, and
understand its philosophy and the relation of the patient to the
great Scheme of Nature, the matter of treatment I leave to you, and
according to the System and Methods you may be using." (pg.
502)This is not only the best book ever written on medical
astrology, it is also the best medieval medical reference ever put
in print. This book excels in diagnosis, in other words, if the
symptom is X, then the astrological cause is Y. Which becomes the
key to reading the patient's chart, or his decumbiture. Cornell
writes in traditional language. The same language, in fact, as you
will find in Culpeper, Saunders, Lilly, Blagrave and many others.
This book is the key that will open these and many more.Howard
Leslie Cornell, M.D., (1872-1938) was a naturopathic physician with
apractice in the US and India. In 1918 he set about to compile the
medical references in his many astrology books. As he himself
wrote, it became a momentous task, eventually comprising two large
ledgers. These were then arranged, classified, disentangled and
wrote into readable form. Only at that point did he consider making
a proper book of it, and set about retyping and rearranging yet
again. The result of 15 years work was published in 1933. It has
been in print, off and on, ever since. It remains the one
indispensable medical astrology book.The Encyclopaedia of Medical
Astrology repays close study. A page-by-page reading is most
rewarding.

It was a long time ago and few alive now remember what life was
like in England in the years after World War II. Yes, the Luftwaffe
and Vengeance weapons had made a fine mess in the south of the
country, but during the war years the Yanks were there, millions of
them, seducing the womenfolk, brawling in pubs, and, most
importantly, spending their pay with local shopkeepers. May, 1945,
the war ended and all the Americans left. Most went home, but a
sizeable contingent set up shop in Germany, where, to the best of
their ability given the local ruins, they carried on as before,
seducing the womenfolk, brawling in pubs and spending their pay
with the surviving shopkeepers. The Americans were joined by
contingents of English, French and Soviet troops. As a result, the
surprising fact, long forgotten, is that after the war, conditions
in England were even worse than they were in post-Third Reich
Germany. Some in Britain rued winning the war, as deprivation
became their fate. In London after the war books were so scarce
that used vendors had long lists of people waiting for the few
books that turned up. For schools in London which taught astrology,
the situation was impossible. Responding to the post WWII book
shortage, Margaret Hone published this ultimate Astrology
Text-Book. She was born in Birmingham, England, on October 2, 1892,
at 2:13 am. Her ascendant was 27 Leo; her Sun was 9 Libra; her Moon
was 13 Aquarius. Her midheaven was 15 Taurus. Of Ms Hone, James
Holden wrote, "English astrologer, educator, and author. She was a
professional astrologer and private teacher for many years and
later was Principal and Director of Studies of the Faculty of
Astrological Studies 1954-1969 and Vice President of the
Astrological Lodge of London. Mrs. Hone was an advocate of the
Equal House system of house division. She is best known in the U.S.
for her two instruction manuals." This book is dedicated to Charles
E.O. Carter, 1887-1968. Carter succeeded Alan Leo as head of the
Astrological Lodge (1920-1952) and was First Principal of the
Faculty of Astrological Studies, which he helped found in 1948.
Hone succeeded Carter at FAS. She passed away on October 14, 1969.
In his Preface, while quick to praise Hone, a personal friend,
Charles Carter also pointed out that this book's high price was
justified, that "padding has been rigorously excluded." He goes on
to praise the workmanship, the carefully worded definitions, as
well as the fact that the book was complete and entire in itself.
Save for ephemeris and tables of houses, this one book would
suffice beginning as well as advanced students for some years. In
addition, Hone also includes one of the earliest modern histories
of astrology, short biographies of leading astrologers past and
present, astrology and public opinion (daily horoscopes in the
newspapers were a recent innovation). On a more practical side,
Hone gives a thorough analysis of the principal house systems of
the day (Equal, Campanus, Regiomontanus, Placidus), and even
mentions C.G. Jung's recently developed Depth Psychology.
Dr. Benjamin Dykes produces essential new translations of
traditional astrology texts for modern students. Persian Nativities
III contains a complete translation of the surviving Greek-Latin
version of Abu Ma'shar's On the Revolutions of the Nativity, one of
the most complete works on traditional solar returns and annual
predictive methods. Abu Ma'shar discusses primary directions, solar
revolutions, firdariyyat, profections, transits, the ninth-parts,
and more.
People often ask if there is "proof" for astrology. Astrologers are
not so much worried about proving astrology, as they are in using
it to reveal nuance and detail. In 1929, after writing four
previous books, Charles Carter (1887-1968) set his sights on
discovering the astrological reasons why accidents happen, and
which people are most prone to them. In part he wanted to test if
astrological fundamentals were true or not. Carter knew that
astrology works, but does it work the way it has long claimed, or,
if it does not, can the real rules be discovered by analysis? This
book is divided into two broad sections. In the first, Carter
compiles raw sign and house placements of Sun, Moon and planets,
along with the angular separation of pairs of planets, to determine
which planets, in which signs, in which houses, and which specific
angles, produce the most accidents overall. The results are
surprising. In the second section, Carter analyzes specific
accidents for common traits. Sixteen different classes of accidents
are analyzed, among them drowning, gunshots, burns, falls, and
railway accidents. While the number of individual cases were
limited, Carter was able to determine critical degree areas. New in
this edition, a list of local influences derived from Carter's
work, and a useful index. This book was first published in 1932.
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.
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
