Sepharial (1864-1929) had a life-long dislike of luck. He challenged himself to find what he called "scientific rules" that would eliminate chance. And, according to his own accounts, he succeed.

In Law of Values, he suggests buying stocks immediately after they have been clobbered by Saturn, with the price as low as it will get, and then selling the stock immediately after being hit by Jupiter, when the price is likely to be as high as it will ever go. And living off dividends between the two.

In

The Silver Key, a book on horse-racing, Sepharial examines, and discards, conventional numerology, colours and symbols, in favor of a method based on the Moon, weights and tides. His results are impressive.

The Arcana, or Stock and Share Key, was one of a number of secret financial manuscripts which Sepharial sold by subscription only. In it, you will discover the secret to using the Meridian in day trading. Sepharial also gives instructions for using dispositors and decans. This is first time the Arcana has appeared in print.

Astrologers looking to improve their techniques, as well as investors looking to improve their portfolios, will find these books of interest.

In these days of advanced thinking it is a matter of common observation that we have left many of the old landmarks behind and that we are now pressing forward to greater heights and to a wider horizon than that which represented the mind-content of our progenitors. It has been suggested that human progress moves in cycles, and that we are continually reverting to the state of affairs and the theoretical outlook upon life that held the minds of former generations. The further suggestion is that we do not trace the same circle on the same plane, but that each successive return to our former condition finds us somewhat higher in the scale of civilisation and mental development...

The definitive text on Primary Directions, written by a 20th century master. Sepharial (1864-1929) was one of the leading astrologers in the early 20th century English astrological revival. Primaries were his favorite means of forecasting. Primaries, unlike simple transits or secondary directions, are not immediately obvious to the average student. So in this book, the author starts with the basic definitions. He then explains how to calculate directions in mundo, directions in the zodiac, as well as parallel directions. He suggests methods of organization and describes what effects primary directions may produce. In the process he gives an overview of the three main schools of forecasting: The Fatalists, the Casuists, and the Idealists, and gives the pros and cons of each. Sepharial then discusses the two major individuals behind primaries. These are Claudius Ptolemy, who invented the semi-arc (primary) method in the second century AD, and the 17th century Italian monk, Placidus de Titis, who devised the complex house system that enabled primaries to be calculated easily and rapidly. Sepharial next tackles directions under Poles, which were a favorite of R.C. Smith, the first of several men known as "Raphael." Then, the resolution of problems unique to Primaries: The proper method to calculate the Part of Fortune (Oblique Ascension/ Descension, rather than simple zodiacal longitudes), various unique challenges with primary directions and the moon, and the true way to calculate directions to house cusps, along with some novel shortcuts. This book, originally entitled Directional Astrology, was the revised and expanded successor to the author's earlier Prognostic Astrology. It is alsosuperior to his better known Primary Directions Made Easy. Using this system, Sepharial made many notable forecasts, most famously that of the end of World War I and the abdication of the Kaiser. Interest in this fascinating system has increased since the mid-1990's. This is the finest book ever published on the subject, one that will repay study.

Each of the 360 degrees of the Zodiac has its own unique symbol and meaning. These symbols are often applied to the degrees of the Ascendant, Sun, Moon, and ruling planet of the natal horoscope. This book, comprising two complete sets, was first published in 1898 and has long been ranked as among the finest on the subject. Charubel (1826-1908) was the pseudonym of John Thomas, a Welsh clairvoyant, astrologer and healer. As a young man he studied for the ministry, but when forced to choose between religious life and his psychic abilities, he chose the later. He founded (and later dissolved) an occult order. He also published numerous books and was editor of several periodicals. His Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolized was first published in 1893. Sepharial (1864-1929) was known to friends as Walter Gorn Old. His early days were as a Theosophist. Leaving them, he associated for a time with Alan Leo's gang and wrote numerous books on astrology. An astrologer, clairvoyant and occultist, towards the end of his life he became a charismatic Christian. He had a lifelong interest in horse racing. His translation of La Volasfera was first published in 1898.

The Kabala of numbers is a book that concerns itself with the study of numerology. You may have heard about numerology, and you may think that it's a completely mathematical topic. Turns out though that when explained correctly, numerology is not only pretty easy to understand but very spiritual in nature. For example you will quickly learn why scholars believe that holy ancient writings contain hidden codes. The same power of numbers that courses though the ancient scripts governs the growth of our civilization, weather and even the thoughts that you are about to have. Numerology recognizes the laws of these patters and ties your destiny to the faith of the universe. A few simple step by step instructions will uncover how your birth date, location, and name influence numbers that dominate your life. Besides your own destiny, numerology allows us to foresee the future of the humanity as the whole. It has throughout the past predicted the rise and fall of nations, statesman, and entire cultures. Because of it's accuracy and powerful teachings numerology and its practitioners have been persecuted by numerous religions. Ultimately, however, the very goal of numerology is to better understand the manner and nature of God and his Creation.
