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.

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.

Your Sun sign (often referred to simply as your sign) is the zodiac sign the Sun was traveling through at the time of your birth. Your Sun sign is the most important and pervasive influence in your horoscope and in many ways determines how others see you. It governs your individuality, your distinctive style, and your drive to fulfill your goals. It symbolizes the role you are given to play in this life. It's as if at the moment of your birth you were pushed onstage into a drama called This Is My Life. In this drama, you are the starring actor-and your sign is the character you play. This elegant little volume is packed with what your Sun sign tells you about you. You'll read about your many positive qualities as well as your negative issues and inclinations. You'll find insights into your power, potentials, and pitfalls; advice about relationships, love, and sex; clarification on erogenous zones and how you combine romantically with other signs; guidance regarding career, health, and diet; and information about myriads of objects, places, concepts, and things to which you're attached. You'll also find topics not usually included in other astrology books-such as how you fit in with Chinese astrology and with numerology.

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!

The North and South Nodes, as guideposts of the spirit, have long been viewed as a karmic factor in the natal horoscope. Through them the individual can gain a fuller meaning of this life's purpose as well as insights into how to best accomplish and achieve the resolution of past karma. The soul, as a separate entity from the spirit, is the main body force in each individual. It is located just outside the material body and above the head. The spirit is a product of the soul created by a combination of soul and spirit forces, and is located within each individual. The soul is the giver of life to the spirit and it is the spirit that possesses those traits which belong to each and every human being. In this book, Cynthia Bohannon, explains the influences of the North and South Nodes in the signs and the houses, and in conjunction to the planets, Vulcan, and Persephone. She also includes separate chapters devoted to the North Node conjunct Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and the Moon and Neptune. Specific chapters devoted to the South Node include its conjunction to Saturn in the signs, Uranus in the signs, Neptune in the signs, Pluto in the signs, and Lilith in the signs. Insights are offered for each regarding how to resolve the message of the Nodes. Other chapters focus on the transiting planets conjunct the natal South Node, and the Saturn-Uranus conjunction in the houses. This book concludes with an Appendix, Dealing with Emotions.

Charles Jayne explores the chart from an esoteric perspective in this volume that focuses on prenatal charts. It is based on his belief that each new level of more complex organization in the hierarchy of real Wholes reveals new and higher attributes of reality, and that the planets are the individual's transformers for the Cosmic Centers. In Preface to Prenatal Charts, the author explains how to derive and interpret the many Epoch charts, both Individual and Group. In all, there are forty-nine Epoch Charts that comprise the Mandala of the Soul. Charles Jayne uses the Epoch Charts to identify the stages in the Descent of the Soul to the body. Alternately solar and lunar in nature, these charts trace the development of the individual and each is linked to a key planet representative of the Epoch. A case study illustrates how to use a four-step process and the Laws of the Sun, Moon, Angles, and Sex, along with directions and progressions to find the accurate Epoch Charts.

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.

In this definitive book, Bernice Prill Grebner focuses on the decanates and their importance in taking chart interpretation to the next, and a much deeper, level. All 36 decanates are delineated in detail, including a complete explanation of every degree of every sign. Using both keywords and thorough explanations, she guides the reader through the physical, mental, and spiritual meanings of the decanates and also explains how to use the planetary rulers of the decanates in chart interpretation. Using these methods, you will gain fresh insights into each chart. One chapter is devoted to synastry and aspects and how the patterns of the decanates and dwads influence relationships, both initially and over time. Another chapter focuses on the houses and interpreting them through the use of the Ascendant's decanate. The author also disusses the influence of dwads and navamsas, and presents a system of individual degree meanings. Each of these is delineated for ease in interpretation and can be used with all planets in the chart.

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.

In 1917 at the height of his fame, Alan Leo was charged with fortune-telling, which was illegal, and taken to court. He had been tried on similar charges in 1914, which had been dismissed. But the charges brought in 1917 stuck. Leo was given a hefty fine. As winning on appeal seemed unlikely, Leo paid the fine and went to Cornwall for a rest, where on 30 August, 1917, he unexpectedly died of a cerebral hemorrhage, aged 57. His friends blamed it on the strain of the court proceedings.At the time of his death, this Dictionary was one of Leo's unfinished projects. Installments of the Dictionary had appeared in Leo's monthly magazine, Modern Astrology, up to the end of the article "Horoscope" (pgs. 130-136). That the project was long-standing is hinted by the article on Hindu Astrology (pgs. 76-101), written by Sepharial some years before and which Leo had presumably purloined. More material was in preparation, but Leo's untimely death brought matters to a halt.By the early 1920's, Vivian Robson had succeeded Leo as editor of Modern Astrology, a post he shared with Bessie Leo, the widow. An intense, scholarly type, Robson stumbled across bound copies of Leo's incomplete book while he was compiling his own astrological dictionary. At the suggestion of Bessie, Robson abandoned his dictionary and set about to complete Leo's, using the many notes and fragments that Leo had left.Which was published in 1929 as Alan Leo's final book. Shortly thereafter Bessie and Vivian had a falling out, whereupon Vivian left. This book was to be an orphan.Like its precursor, James Wilson's Dictionary of Astrology of 1819, Leo's book contains several full-blown monographs. Both books have lengthy entries on Horary Astrology, for example. These articles tend to break the flow of the book. For this reason the current publishers, Astro-America, have added headings to each page, that the reader may know whereabouts in the book he may be. The publishers have also added a list of principal articles to the front, as well as a complete list of entries (forming an index) in the back.Alan Leo's Dictionary of Astrology is again in print. Profit from the wealth of knowledge it contains

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.

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.

Every individual is born into a particular environment that from birth shapes his or her life. Relationships are a key factor in this evolution, beginning with the parents and siblings, and expanding to friendship, coworkers, and romance. Each of these, as well as the people and experiences attracted, can be seen in the horoscope. Some bring happiness and lasting ties, while others bring despair, suffering, and learning experiences.The Contact Cosmogram focuses on relationships through the technique of chart comparison, through which it is possible to determine whether permanent harmony and complementary factors exist between two people. The author also explores the indicators that can help or hinder two people as they confront life crises. Extensively illustrated with many examples, The Contact Cosmogram explores the lives of famous couples, problem marriages, and collaborators.

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
