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.

Horoscopes of Europe is Marc Penfield's third book on countries of the world arranged by continent. This encyclopedic book is the definitive work on the 51 nations that make up the world's smallest continent, from its largest (Russia) to four diminuitive nations inside Italy, three of them shown here for the first time (Montenegro, Seborga and Sov. Military Order of Malta). This extremely valuable reference work is one that no astrologer interested in mundane, or political, astrology can afford to be without. A century ago, Europe had only 26 countries, most of them monarchies, only half of which remain today. Over the following eight decades, nine more nations were born and with the break-up of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, 15 more countries emerged onto the world scene. Many countries have two horoscopes-one for its original monarchy, the other for its transition to democracy. France and Germany have many charts from their emergence in the Middle Ages down through a millennia to become the powerhouses of Europe. Charts for the Roman Republic and Empire are also shown. The Eurasian countries of the Caucasus have also been included as they straddle Europe and Asia as do the countries of Russia and Turkey. Charts for more than 135 European cities have also been included, calculated for when they were granted their charters. Appendix A has horoscopes for every member of the European Union, while Appendix B has the author's rectified birth times for most cities shown in this book. This appendix also has the author's speculative birth dates for the cities of London and Paris. Marc Penfield is a double Scorpio with Gemini rising. Known as an historian and researcher and a lover of history and geography, his many years as a travel agent enabled him to journey to many of the places he writes about. Marc Penfield is the author of Bon Voyage (on relocation techniques), Solar Returns in Your Face, Stars over England (with brief bios on its monarchs), Horoscopes of the USA and Canada (now in its 2nd printing), and Horoscopes of Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

Horoscopes of Asia, Australia and the Pacific is the second of five volumes on mundane astrology compiled by Marc Penfield. Included in this extensive volume, which is the only astrology book specific to this part of the world, are the charts of the Persian, Japanese and Chinese Empires. Of particular interest are the original charts of Afghanistan, Nepal, Oman and Thailand, the data for which has just recently been discovered by the author.

Marc Penfield is known as an historian and researcher, as well as an oustanding astrologer, who has traveled extensively, visiting most of the locales included in this volume. His delineations are candid and forthright. Marc garnered the cooperation of libraries, cities and universities to make this book the most thorough and comprehensive work on mundane astrology ever printed. In this, the second edition of Marc's definitive work on mundane, or political, astrology, he has added numerous cities as well as Puerto Rico and Nunavut, a new Canadian province. State charts are calculated for their capitals at the time of admission, not for Washington, D.C. as is the custom in other books. Whenever possible, only founding dates are used for cities; incorporation dates were utilized only as a last resort, when the information was either insufficient or vague. The introduction contains a brief outline on how the planets, houses and aspects are interpreted in mundane astrology. There also is a short lesson on how you can compare your chart to any given in this book through a unique system of synastry. For those planning to vacation or retire, this section is vitally important and should not be glossed over. Horoscopes of the USA and Canada eliminates the necessity for astrologers to rely only on lunation and ingress charts to predict the future of nations. The charts illustrated in this book should open new horizons to study what Ptolemy thought was the most important branch of astrology one could learn. This valuable reference work is one that no astrologer should be without. Marc is also the author of An Astrological Who's Who, The Nadi System of Rectification, 2001: The Penfield Data Collection, Bon Voyage, Stars Over England and Solar Returns in Your Face.
