Does a planet in a sign have the same meaning in every horoscope? Yes and no. Although everyone with a specific planet in a specific sign shares common characteristics, each displays subtle differences depending upon what degree the planet occupies within that sign. These differences explain why, for example, one person with Mercury in Capricorn is practical and another is more creative or family-oriented, or has a strong desire to be in the spotlight. Both the three decanates (the ten-degree divisions of each sign) and the twelve duads (the two and a half-degree divisions of each sign) reveal sign characteristics specific to the individual, each of which is defined by the degree of the planet in the sign. Using decanates and duads, you can discover much more about every planet in the horoscope, as well as the signs on the anglesthe Midheaven, IC, Ascendant and Descendant. And this, in turn, will lead to new insights into relationships, career choice, communication style, finances and life purpose and goals.

This is Marc Penfield's sixth and final book in his mundane astrology series on the countries of the world, and includes countries from the Mediterranean to the Cape of Good Hope. Most African countries were granted independence from Britain, France, Portugal or Belgium. Only Liberia and Ethiopia escaped being colonies. Marc has also devoted space to the Great Pyramid which has numerous mathematical, scientific, geographical, astronomical and possibly metaphysical references symbolized in stone. Charts for 31 African cities are also included.

Though individual asteroids or planetoids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter may be small, they are bound to exert influences in the horoscope. In light of this conclusion, they must also exert the same type of cross chart influence in the area of relationships. With this premise, Emma Belle Donath wrote Asteroids in Synastry. Using her vast store of mythological as well as astrological lore, she tells the myths of the four major asteroids, as well as giving keyword lists and rulerships for each. In the body of the book she gives delineation of the asteroids using the most accepted forms of synastry (person A's planets in person B's chart and vice versa). In addition, she gives some of the major aspect configurations between charts, and takes a brief look at composite charts and contact cosmograms. Several example charts are used to illustrate asteroid use in this manner. This is the definitive text for using asteroids in synastry.

Included in this volume, which is four books in one, are four significant works by Charles Jayne: Horoscope Interpretation Outlined, Introduction to Locality Astrology, Parallels: Their Hidden Meaning, and The Technique of Rectification. Horoscope Interpretation Outlined explores the basics of chart reading, beginning with the chart as a whole and gradually working to the entire chart. Special sections explore the major chart configurations and the eight lunation cycle phases. Introduction to Locality Astrology focuses on three methods of shifting the horoscope to a different locality, with complete instructions for each one. Also explained is the Johndro baseline chart, using the Jacqueline Onassis chart as an example. Parallels: Their Hidden Meaning examines powerful chart configurations in declination that signal the main meaning of the horoscope. In addition to the natal chart, the author discusses transits and progressions. The tools and techniques of rectification are the main focus of The Technique of Rectification, which includes other factors involved in the process, such as the ascending sign, planets in houses, and horoscope validation.

Originally published in 1928, this book gives detailed instructions on how to interpret the progressed chart using the Moon, Ascendant, and planets, as well as the transits. Leigh Milburn put to use her wealth of experience, both in classroom work through the Llewellyn College and her private practice, to convey the practical information for delineating progressed horoscopes, and how to use them in actual practice. In addition, she includes interpretations for all the major factors in the progressed chart with chapters on the nature of the planets, planets through the signs, progressed Ascendant, progressed Moon in the houses, parallels, and progressed and transiting aspects of the Sun, Moon and planets. This classic book is a must for those interested in predictive astrology.

How to Read Cosmodynes fills an important need in the astrological field. Many know of this method of measuring the relative power of the planets, signs and houses, but few know how to use it in their daily astrological practice. Yet it can be the key to seemingly inexplicable factors in an individual horoscope. Cosmodyne patterns indicate how delays, obstacles and confusion can be avoided. They point to where the energy-expenditure should be directed, how it should be channeled, and the associations which will enhance the demonstration of success. Once you experiment with the use of cosmodynes, you will never give them up. Probably you'll wonder how you managed to do without them for so long.

The use of astrodynes takes much of the guesswork out of chart interpretation by mathematically determining the relative power in a horoscope. Simply put, astrodynes allow a greater precision in birth chart interpretation. Previously, the chart ruler was considered to be the ruler of the Ascendant. Now, the strongest planets, signs, and houses can easily be determined, leading to more accurate assessment of vocation, temperament, and compatibility. The level of harmony or discord will indicate the fortune that can be attracted by each factor. There is a difference between power, which is a potential for action, and harmony, which is the effect of the action. The amount of strength in the chart will show how insistent are the desires, or specific areas of life. Whether they express in harmony or with difficulty has little to do with the amount of power they have. There- fore, the first step in a better understanding of how to use astrodynes in a birth chart is to understand what power is in a chart, what harmony is, and the difference between the two. The author explains these differences and focuses on the interpretation of astrodynes, including specifics about each planet, house and aspect.

"The Rising Sign - your Astrological Calling Card" The Rising Sign throws light on our outer manner and the way we present ourselves to others.

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

Please, do not trust this book more than your doctor! The ancient tradition of astrology is another way of looking at ourselves than the methods developed by modern natural science. It cannot substitute science any more than science can incorporate astrology. The best use you can have of this introduction to medical astrology is as an alternative perspective on your health. By examining your horoscope you shed light on the complexity of living your life in ways that agree with you the most. Learn how your health is described by the Zodiac signs, the movements of the planets, their aspects, and the astrological Houses.

This book is an English translation of Book 25 of the Astrologia Gallica, in which Morin explains how to make Mundane Predictions for a particular place by using Aries Ingresses and Lunations (along with their quarters) as the main tools. He discusses the common use of Solar and Lunar Eclipses for that purpose and concludes that they are of only minor importance and do not have the long-lasting effects usually attributed to them. He also discusses the possibility of drawing some conclusions from the Conjunctions of the outer Planets and even from Comets.

Horoscopes of Latin America is Marc Penfield's fifth book on countries of the world, each arranged by continent. This encyclopedic tome is divided into four sections: Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America. It's the definitive work on 40 countries and colonies that make up this part of the world. Most countries, except the Caribbean, declared their independence from Spain or Portugal over a brief period of time. Some became monarchies (Mexico and Brasil) while others joined forces with other countries for a while. The nations of Central America (except Panama) bear close scrutiny as they gained their freedom at the same moment in time; their birth dates are identical, but when the charts are relocated there are some major differences, especially for Costa Rica. Marc Penfield outlines the basic character of the Latin American people by delineating the chart for Isabela, the oldest European settlement in the western hemisphere. Charts for over 130 cities have been included, most of them for their founding date, a few for their charter date. Progressed aspects to the angles for each city and country are shown, which makes this book a valuable teaching tool for students learning the mundane, or geopolitical, branch of astrology.
