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.
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
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.
Pagan Astrology for the Spirit and Soul explores and emphasizes an astrology that emphasizes the Moon and the dynamics of polarity in the form of masculine-feminine relationships. This non-traditional approach to astrology is both fun and enlightening, opening the heart and mind to new insights in the birth chart using the symbolism of a Wiccan coven. Ideal for pagan divinatory studies, it has much to offer all astrologers. Designed to trigger the reader's intuitive gifts through words as imagery, Pagan Astrology for the Spirit and Soul takes a close look at each of the planets, placing them in the context of the time-honored roles of the coven. In this context Alice Miller presents the human personality as a coven, a blueprint for the whole being. Each planet is explored through its sign position and role, with special attention given to the section on the outer planets and the incoming Age of Aquarius. The planets: The Moon: The High Priestess Moon; The Sun: The High Priest; Venus: The Maiden; Mars: The Maiden's Working Partner; Mercury: The Fetch; Jupiter: Mercury's Partner; Saturn: The Traditionalist; Uranus: Saturn's Partner; Neptune: The Subconscious Master; Pluto: Mother of Rebirth.

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.

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.
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.
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 use of dwads is amazingly effective in chart interpretation, providing the specifics and particulars that are otherwise out of reach. These divisions of the zodiac provide subtle but powerful details that enable a fine-tuning of the chart and interpretation of the most insightful aspects of personality. Author Thyrza Escobar takes this one step further as she discusses and explains the Faces of the signs, the positive and negative areas of the zodiac and the decans, while incorporating what she learned from well-known German astrologer Carl Leipert. The most important and insightful sections of The 144 Doors of the Zodiac, however, are those that focus on the 144 duodenary divisions of the zodiac, which reveal a zodiac within each sign, and the dwad-houses, a technique that gives fresh meaning to each of the houses. The book includes a section devoted to each sign, with details about the dwad-sign and dwad-house, including quality, element, sub-ruler, and the correspondence of each house for that particular sign to element, quality, and planet. Dwad-houses and dwad-signs within each sign are also explained in terms of their influence in personal interests, achievements, relationships, feelings, actions, emotions, and thinking, all of which can add new depth to chart interpretation. Also included is information regarding interpretation of the number of planets in a dwad-house. The author provides similar information about the planets in the dwad-signs and specific aspects.
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
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.

Cosmic astrology, as known and lived by the ancients, pointed the way of man's journey in life through the ages of time. If it were correctly understood and used today it would also point the way for man's regeneration and return to Pure Source, the Godhead from which humanity, and all life comes. This ancient knowledge lives; it can never be destroyed. Words of truth live forever, but humanity in the endless striving for wealth and power pushes them into the background to be seemingly lost, to lie forgotten, except by a very few of the truly advanced sages who will keep them alive until mankind wearies of warring with his brother and exploiting for gain against those weaker than himself. These old teachings of wisdom can be found if one cares to seek. They are in the Bible, the Kabala, the Chaldean Book of Numbers, the Stanzas of Dzyan, and in mythology. The meanings are always obscured and difficult to understand, but they are there. In this context, you will learn about what astrology is and is not, the spiritual nature of astrology, the secondary suns, the nature of the planets and the principles they express, the nature and function of the signs, the houses and aspects from a cosmic perspective, human beings as the ultimate creation, and the history of astrology.
This exceptional and unique volume is the culmination of thirty years of research conducted by the Church of Light. The research involved the study of thousands of timed birth charts and their associated signs, aspects, house placements, and progressions. It revealed the constants that indicate many health conditions, life events, careers, earning potential, longevity, and relationships. Each of these is listed in a tabular format with discussion about what the research revealed. In addition to the extensive sections that list and analyze the research data is a chapter that focuses on case studies of twins and how their lives paralleled and differed over time. One case study examines fraternal twins and another looks at the lives of astrological twins. The research information presented is valuable both in its usefulness as proof of astrology's validity and as an aid to the astrologer and student in identifying potential events and tendencies indicated in the birth chart and through transits and progressions.
