Using her background as a psychotherapist and astrologer, Gisele Terry has combined the developmental theories of psychology and astrology to create the lunar return model of development. This model of development focuses on the natal Moon, the progressed Moon, and the cycles of the progressed Moon through the zodiac. "I began to see the progressed Moon as an indicator of a client's here and now emotional focus," said Gisele. "Thus the position of the progressed Moon, its sign and placement in the chart, became a starting point and provided additional access to the meaning of the charts." The Progressed Moon Around the Zodiac is divided into three sections, each of which guides you progressively through the lunar return model of development and its practical uses in chart reading: The first explains how ideas about development in astrology correspond with psychological theories of development and form the foundation of the lunar return model of development. The second describes this model in detail and uses case examples. The third illustrates the application of the lunar return model of development in clients' natal and progressed charts, and also presents the possibility of a universal template for human development.

The Math of Astrology is a simple, methodical, step-by-step guide for manual chart calculation with pencil and paper. Often perceived as difficult, chart calculation is in fact a skill easily mastered with practice. Basic arithmetic is used with each formula to determine sidereal time, planetary positions, and house cusps. Manual chart calculation offers an extra benefit: the process leads to a deeper understanding and interpretation of the chart, which "comes alive" as each step in erecting the chart is completed. In addition to learning how to manually calculate a natal chart, the authors also present step-by-step instructions for calculating the secondary progressed chart, secondary progressed angles, and the Part of Fortune and Part of Spirit. You will also learn how to calculate secondary progressions for a specific date and time, as well as return charts (solar, lunar, and planetary), relocated charts, declinations, aspects, and midpoints. There is also a helpful chapter devoted to detecting and correcting errors in chart calculation, and worksheets that can be photocopied and used during each step, from natal to progressed to return chart. Also included is a chapter on the basics of natal chart interpretation, and another that offers interpretation guidelines for the progressed chart. The latter introduces the concept of cycles, the value of progressions in forecasting, delineation of the progressed Moon through the houses, and delineation of aspects made by the progressed Sun.

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.

Planetary Powers is a comprehensive book on the Morin Method of Horoscope Interpretation. It begins with examples of the fundamental principles and steadily advances to the full techniques. Each principle and technique is illustrated with examples. Each of the book's sections focuses on a specific factor of horoscope interpretation. The Morin Method is a practical and useful set of rules that results in accurate chart interpretation. Familiarity with the Astrologia Gallica, the works of John-Baptiste Morin, although desirable, is unnecessary in order to use the Morin Method of Horoscope Interpretation. Section I covers planetary powers, including theory of determinations, houses, signs, planets, essential dignities and debilities, natural and acquired analogy, and analogy of the planets with the houses. Section II explains the cosmic state of the planets in relationship with the houses. Topics covered are benefic and malefic planets, dispositors, peregrine planets, determination through house position and rulership, cause and effect, conjunctions, and determining combination by analogy. Section III discusses the Morin Method regarding determination by actual location, empty house judgment, affairs signified by the houses, determination and evaluation of the effect of a planet in a house, the houses of life and death, and the power of aspects. The book concludes with numerous charts for study. "To my knowledge this book is the best available instruction manual for the Morin Method."-James Herschel Holden, translator of eleven books of the Astrologia Gallica series by John-Baptiste Morin

The Search of the Heart is on a little-explored area of traditional astrology: the interpretation of thoughts and identification of issues and questions prior to a horary consultation. In this important new translation of Hermann of Carinthia and other authors in numerous Appendices, modern students will see first-hand how to calculate and interpret significators of thoughts and charts. With a lengthy interpretive introduction by Dr. Benjamin Dykes, it is essential for the practicing traditional astrologer.

A psychological view of ourselves and our world. This is a revised version of the classic book by Bruno & Louise Huber, first issued as 'Man and His World' in 1978. A thorough understanding of the houses is essential for psychological analysis of the horoscope because the houses establish the actual framework of individual personality and relationship to the environment. Unlike earlier approaches, the twelve houses are considered not as a classic space structure but as dynamic developmental tendencies that result from the combination of crosses (modes) and temperaments (elements). This book shows how the houses relate to ourselves and to our life experience in the world. Of interest to the practicing astrologer, psychological consultant and those seeking self-awareness.

Although this book focuses on the use of astrology in determining vocational aptitude, the author goes beyond mere planetary indicators. He explains how to integrate the horoscope factors to determine vocational aptitude rather than rely solely on specific planets, houses, and signs. This method results in an accurate interpretation of the horoscope that can also be applied to any area of life.Numerous examples illustrate the principles of his system, along with sections on vocations in the sciences, liberal arts, fine arts, business, trades, military, legal system, politics, and administration. The final chapter outlines horoscope factors linked to vocational success and failure.

Named for an ancient female figure of primordial mystery, Black Moon Lilith is an astronomical point intimately connected to the Earth-Moon system. In these times of expanding ecological and cosmological awareness, the Black Moon offers a spacious field of investigation engaging women and men in fuller self-awareness and soul expression in life, urging us inexorably to a deeper embodiment of Heaven on Earth. Of increasing interest to astrologers, the Black Moon has been used for decades in Europe, but there is little written in English about this enigmatic female figure and subtle astronomical point. This book, an expanded version of an earlier, shorter work, helps fills that gap The author blends astronomy, myth, depth psychology and original creative research into her investigation of the Black Moon. Basic, suggestive interpretations are offered, supported by examples of well-known personages. Read it and consider for yourself a question that has haunted and taunted humanity for four thousand years: is she demonic or divine? Lilith offers no easy answers. M. Kelley Hunter, Ph.D., C.A.P., is an internationally-known astrologer who was caught up into and never recovered from the astrological revolution of the 1970s. As personal consultant, educator and star-gazer, her work with the stars is a unique blend of cosmology, myth and psycho-spirituality. She considers astrology to be an intuitive science and infuses her own ongoing studies with creative and experiential exploration.

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).

Our new planet discovered in 2005 beyond Pluto and larger than he, was named Eris for the Greek Goddess of Discord at the 2006 meeting of International Astronomical Union. In astrology, does she express her name and its mythology, and if so, how? And, how can we get a handle on the meaning of a planet with an orbit of over 500 years? Thomas Canfield has taken up the challenge by researching Eris in the charts of events, Presidents and other major players in USA history. Tom discovered that Eris has a consistently contrary streak in that she reverses astrological tradition about how "hard" and "soft" aspects work. He calls it the "Frenemy Principle" and demonstrates it through 43 charts, more than a few touches of sardonic humor and interpretations laced with numerous anecdotes that will interest history buffs, as well as astrologers and students of astrology. So, where is Eris in YOUR chart? After reading this book, you will surely want to know!

In Astrology it has long been known that the sign of the zodiac, rising in the east at birth (the ascending sign), largely determines physical appearance. In this book David Anrias shows what each sign looks like when rising. He goes further and, dividing each sign into 10 degree sections (known as "decanates"), shows how appearance changes, from early degrees, to middle degrees, to late degrees of the same sign. All 36 drawings are by the author himself, who was an accomplished artist and a keen observer. Twelve of these you will find in the frontispiece, the remaining 24 are in Book 1, chapter 7. While other artists have sketched the twelve basic types, and one or two have given variations on some of them, Anrias is the only astrological artist/writer to make systematic sketches of all 36 variations.Anrias follows this with deft character sketches. If a given decanate (the third decanate of Libra, for example) produces a distinct face, it also produces a distinct personality. Of this book, Dr. H., of Regulus Astrology LLC (author of A Rectification Manual; America is Born) writes, "I find Anrias' use of the decans based on triplicities more accurate than Chaldean decans for application in physiognomy judgments."DAVID ANRIAS, the pen-name of Brian Ross, served with the British forces in World War I. A natural sensitive, after the war he joined the Theosophical Society, studied in India, and wasassociated with Jiddu Krishnamurti's ill-fated Order of the Star in the East. He strenuously disagreed with Krishnamurti's decision to dissolve it. Anrias's intense study of theosophy and metaphysics enlivens his astrology, making his book most fascinatingreading.

Transits are defined as the daily motion of the planets as they travel through the zodiac in their path through the heavens. As they pass through the signs, they transit each house in a natal chart and aspect each planetary position. It is these transits that activate the chart, creating opportunities for the individual as well as potentially difficult situations. Through this advance knowledge, the individual can plan and then act or react in the most beneficial manner.This volume contains delineation for each planet as it transits each house and aspects each planet in the horoscope. In addition to major aspects (conjunction, sextile, trine, square and opposition) to the planets, the author delineates aspects involving the North and South Nodes, and the Part of Fortune.Also included is the parallel of declination, an aspect of importance that is found in few astrology books.A quick reference gives keywords for each house and planet.

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
