Book SynopsisThe Financial Universe deconstructs the future in clear masterful strokes. An absolute must read text not only for professionals in financial services and related industries but also for anyone who relies on the future for business and personal planning. Written by one of the world's foremost financial astrologers, The Financial Universe highlights periods to maximize investment returns and minimize portfolio losses through exposure to geopolitical events and circumstances, and financial market hotspots. This important new text maps out potential responses by international stock markets to world events that are predicted between now and the year 2020. The Financial Universe is written for those who have little understanding of astrological terminology. The book deconstructs the complex relationship of planetary alignments, sun spot patterns, and other cosmic influences. Through astrological forecasting The Financial Universe illustrates the direct impact that world events might have on global stock markets. It presents not only a compelling analysis of the financial astrology behind previous market events but also suggests concrete strategies for professionals to confront challenges which lie ahead. Specific chapters are devoted to the City of London market and Wall Street. Important market turning points to be anticipated in the years 2004-2020 are forecast and explained against world affairs, and finance and investment opportunities.Trade Review"The author writes in a scholarly and easily to access style. The text is clear, and concisely maps out the challenges, pitfalls and opportunities for investors (big and small, experienced professional and beginners) in global markets over the next 20 odd years. It is hard to believe that there is such a book. The information the book provides is useful and masterfully presented. The book deals specifically with using planetary bodies to predict cycles in the marketplace, both positive and negative. Offering suggestions and warnings that potentially reverberate up through the year 2020, The Financial Universe even contemplates the astrological sign of America as a nation, and considers the implications of this birth sign on the future of American finances as a whole as surely as what this means for one's private investments." -- The Midwest Book Review"The prophecies made by Christeen Skinner are weirdly accurate. In 2004 she told the Sunday Express that between 2005 and 2011 there will be an aspect between Saturn and Uranus not seen since the Great Depression of 1930-1931. More specifically, she predicted that 'the change in the cycle of Pluto in 2008 will bring about a collapse in the property market'." -- From MoneyWeek, 28 November 2008Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Traylen's; Stone Trough, York; Kim's, Worthing; Hall's, Tunbridge Wells; Arundel; Staffs, Lichfield; Baggins, Rochester; Camden, Bath; Petersfield; Howes, Hastings; Steedman, Newcastle; Tombland, Norwich; Gibb's, Manchester; Fifteenth Century, Lewes; Chapel Books, Westleton; Albion, Broadstairs; Halewood & Sons, Preston; Camilla's, Eastbourne; Brookes, Brighton; Sanctuary, Lyme Regis; Broadhurst, Southport; Castle, Colchester; Thornton's, Oxford; The Bookshop, Cambridge; Barely Read Books, Westerham; H.

Book SynopsisAstrology and Meditation explores the idea that the most powerful astrological technique is a quiet, meditative mind. The book presents astrology as a form of active meditation where we contemplate whatever is arising with expectancy, receptivity, and conscious use of will to shape what unfolds. The author presents meditations on the spiritual lessons of the planets and zodiacal signs, and, with the plentiful use of case histories, describes the technique of symbol amplification, which enables us to unfold the deepest meanings of chart symbols. The book ends with a discussion of astrology as a spiritual practice, a training for perfection that can instill qualities such as discernment, humor, steadiness in times of suffering, and an expanded capacity to love.Trade ReviewIn his new book Greg Bogart invites us to join him in a reverential and deeply felt contemplation of astrology. As the author puts it, 'If your life doesn't change, why study astrology?' It is not an exaggeration to say that this inspiring book from one of today's most respected astrology practitioners really can change your life. -Paul Newman, review in the Astrological Journal (UK).

Book SynopsisAstrology has been open to criticism through a large part of its long history. In this groundbreaking book Bernadette Brady gives new insights in the intensity of these criticisms by placing astrology into its initial setting, its original world of ancient creation myths linked to the great creative void. Modern chaos theory has now rediscovered this void and Brady maps astrology to chaos theory to produce "chaotic astrology". The result is an insight into fate, freewill and the nature of astrology itself implying that it is neither a science nor a religion, and suggests instead that astrology is an instrument of chaos, a fertile and pragmatic tool for understanding the patterns of life. Original and insightful as ever, Brady navigates the reader through a breath-taking journey which can change forever the way one views the world.

Book SynopsisIn western astrology we have grown accustomed to perceiving the Sun's path as circular: the years revolve and the days and months return again, the 360 degrees of the zodiac go round in a ring. But the Sun has an up and down path too. It climbs steps of declination from each equinox to solstice and descends again from solstice to equinox. It marks off time in a different way which gives an extraordinary view, and adds an extra breadth to the meaning and movement of the heavenly bodies. This comprehensive work not only covers the technique of declination, but it is full of the fascinating myths and traditions which form the cornerstone of our culture - it will therefore be of great interest to anyone who follows the natural rhythm of the solar and lunar festivals in the course of their everyday lives.

Book SynopsisLife isn't always easy. It's impossible to live deeply and not to feel pain or go through times of crisis, breakdown or major disruptive change. Although this is clearly inevitable, what is not always obvious is the crucial role pain and crisis play in the process of growth and evolution. While some people fall apart altogether and never make it through difficult times, many others emerge from conflict and turmoil renewed and transformed, indeed, more fully alive. They 'return' to life with a renewed sense of commitment to a neglected potential, with a renewed sense of what one might call the 'sacred' in life, with a richly enhanced sensitivity to others. This lovely and important work from Howard Sasportas teaches us how to respond to the transits of Uranus,Neptune and Pluto with calmness and a knowledge that the more we work with them, the more worthwhile will be the end result.

Book SynopsisThe personal panchanga is the secret key in vedic astrology to understanding the deeper levels of your chart, and this book will help decode it. Panchanga is the Indian Almanac used from ancient times to tabulate the effect of many diverse cosmic factors that influence the quality of the day. Panch means five, and Anga means limbs, so panchanga literally means five limbs - or the five sources of energy through which the luminaries have to pass in order to reach consciousness. The panchanga on the day of the birth effects our physical energy, mental makeup, emotional connections, practical desires and our sense of security. It additionally tells of the gunas, Ayurvedic doshas, prakriti, chakras, the five great elements, dysfunctional or burnt signs, the good luck points, the lucky and unlucky planets, how to choose the right name, the best career options, relationship compatibility and much more. After reading this book, you may wonder how you ever analysed the natal chart without it.

Book SynopsisMartin Davis is a leader in the field of Astrolocality astrology. His influential first book, Astrolocality Astrology [The Wessex Astrologer, 1999], is the authoritative textbook in the field. This book, 'From Here To There: an astrologer's guide to astromapping', is his latest work on the subject. Written with a deep understanding of the material, Davis presents a masterful portrait of locality astrology today, and its potential for the future. Davis begins this work with a first in astrological literature: recounting the history of the field (telling its story), from ancient Babylonia to modern times. He then introduces specific, essential works of contemporary astrologers who are utilising the techniques in their work. Davis shows how locations of significance and global hotspots can be identified astrologically, bringing the influence of space (where something may happen) into the usual astrological focus on time (when something may happen). This is a critical enlargement of astrological perspective for today's needs, were an understanding of influences around the globe is critical for our very well being.Table of Contents1 History - Martin Davis, 2 The Astro*Carto*Graphy Book of Maps Jim Lewis and Arielle Guttman 3 The Uses of Astromapping in Astrology Martin Davis 4 Relocation can be a Career Move Robert Currey 5 My Summer Vacation Maya White 6 Between Heaven and Earth: The Influence of Astrology on Earth Angel Z.

Book SynopsisAstrology has survived ridicule, misunderstanding and trivialisation, but is poised to be taken seriously again. Its popular image conceals the fact that is it the repository of ground-breaking and indeed dangerous knowledge, because it has the power to take us into the hidden engine room of life and show us where the levers are. This is a reprint of the second edition of Cosmic Loom, Dennis Elwell's first book, much enlarged to include astonishing conclusions on the meaning of events like the Dunblane Massacre and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. It shows that it is now possible to grasp how and why astrology works, thanks to recent advances in psychology, parapsychology, and above all, theoretical physics. The subject has aroused scientific, moral and religious objections - here they are squarely faced and answered. Packed with concrete examples of astrology in action, the book spells out its far-reaching implications. It serves as a meaty introduction for those looking beyond the froth of the populist 'star columns', and at the same time provides experienced astrologers with a new perspective on chart interpretation.

Book SynopsisMedical astrology is a fascinating subject, yet undoubtedly a rather challenging one. In this work however, the author attempts to ease the path towards greater understanding of traditional astrological principles regarding health, as well as introducing some new experiential ideas. These have been developed through her long practice in this field. What can sometimes be helpful in studying a chart is to understand the psychological underlay to medical conditions inherent in the cosmic pattern. The many charts included in this work from the author's own casebook as well as the charts of some public figures both current and historical, suggest guidelines for interpretation. This book is recommended for anyone who is interested in exploring medical astrology in greater depth, and perhaps including some aspects of it in their own astrological work. Whilst medical astrology cannot take the place of advice from orthodox professionals, it can often throw light on prevailing problems.

Book SynopsisHandwriting is more than just a means of communication. Each time you pick up a pen, you create your own art which draws from all the light and dark areas of your natal chart. By learning how to spot your own natal aspects in your handwriting, you will open a whole new door to the hidden potential within your horoscope. As you begin to understand how your handwriting reflects your natal chart, so you can harness the energy of your predictive work by changing the way you write - and help a difficult aspect to gain a more helpful expression. AstroGraphology synthesizes handwriting and astrology in a totally new paradigm that will delight and inspire you with new power to bring change into your life.Trade Review"AstroGraphology takes readers into what could become a new field of analysis or psychotherapy. Creative, innovative, concise and practical, the methodology shown here would be of interest to anyone who wants to decipher handwriting and who already knows the basics of astrology." (Dell Horoscope June 2010.) "Written with great clarity and illustrated with numerous examples, the book is a joy to read. The early part of the book looks at the basics of graphology for those unfamiliar with the insights that can be gained from handwriting. Even just this simple overview gets you thinking about how much is actually revealed in the notes you scribble down as reminders, let alone any long letters you may have written. After this the book moves on to the links between the chart and the handwriting of people. There are many examples and you really feel you are gaining an intimate peek into each person's life. How to help change your inner world by changing your handwriting and approach to life is also discussed. Overall it is a fascinating book and well worth reading. the connection between astrology and graphology has never been explored in such a direct and detailed way. If you have any interest in handwriting I would heartily recommend this book." (John Green, The Astrological Journal, May/June 2010.)

Book SynopsisIn our twenty-first century renaissance, renewed interest in the goddess has brought many faces of the divine feminine into modern awareness. Lilith is one of the most alluring - and ancient. After five thousand years of smoky rumours, this female of ambiguous reputation remains a mystery. As seductive femme fatale, crib death hag or cosmic goddess, vampire or beacon of female integrity, she has continued to excite our cultural imagination. If we follow her trail back in time to seek the source of the fear and negativity she typically evokes, we often discover, not only a major shift in the collective human image of the feminine, but also something essential that needs to be redeemed in our personal lives. Living Lilith traces this powerful archetype through mythology, the arts, astrology, on the world stage and in real life. Of increasing interest to astrologers, Lilith is the name given to four astronomical points - an asteroid, a star, a dark "ghost" moon, and the better-known Black Moon. All four Liliths are discussed and differentiated with the aid of numerous case histories and fascinating insights into the lives of public figures. A section of suggested interpretations of Lilith's influence through the signs is included. This book is suitable for all levels of astrology, and anyone interested in the presence of Lilith in our lives today. Not everyone is ready to explore such profoundly unknown dimensions of self and experience. Is she calling to you?

Book SynopsisHorary Astrology Re-examined is a detailed and highly informative book, demonstrating clearly and unambiguously that traditional methods are applicable to all astrology. There is no division between different 'branches'. Barbara Dunn examines the methods by which astrologers of the past evaluated planetary strengths in order to make a judgement on a Question, Nativity, Election or any other type of chart. These evaluations provide a platform for judgement today, in just the same way as they did over a thousand years ago. For all charts, the process of evaluation is broadly the same, what Coley calls the "short comprehensive and approved rules of Art". The focus of this work is Questions and the aim practical rather than philosophical. Horary Astrology Re-examined is a comprehensive reference work, as well as a casebook, giving judgement on over fifty Questions. Ptolemy, Al Biruni, Masha'allah, Abu Ma'shar, Abu 'Ali Al Khayyat, Bonatti, Dariot and William Lilly are just some of the authors referred to. Where there are doubts arising through a poor translation, an unsympathetic translator or other factors, Ms Dunn provides clarification.Instead of seeking to change or modify the tools and techniques handed down by our ancestors, or denying that astrology is about prediction, Horary Astrology Re-examined offers confirmation that astrologers need to "come to grips with their history, complex as it is. like an isolated ethnic group, they need the courage of their identity in a hostile world."[Kitson]

Book SynopsisThis book is a translation of the original, in Dutch, brought about by the overwhelming demand of his English speaking students. Books have been written about herbs with a little astrology added, about outer planets with a little naturopathy added, and about the astrological symbolism of body parts and functions. But none of these books is really about classical medical astrology: practical diagnosis and treatment on the basis of charts. Medical astrology has always been an integral unity of astrological diagnosis and treatment based on the planetary positions. This integral and seamless unity is the central theme in this book, which picks up the thread of the great tradition which ended temporarily in seventeenth century England. It is now undergoing a revivial as modern astrologers rediscover the authenticity and value of the classical techniques.Trade ReviewClearly written, the book shows methods for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. It is a simple book to follow and it allows virtually any astrologer who can read a chart to bring healing to themselves and others. It's a lovely practical book, but one that also gives insights into traditional techniques and philosophies. It gives greater depth than may be thought at first glance...if you are interested in classical medical astrology and wish to learn how you can apply it in a practical way to everyday life, then this is the book for you. John Green, The Astrological Journal, May/June 2010.

Book SynopsisThis book is the result of seven years' research and several thousand case histories through which the author has been able to peer into the deep inner life of the soul as it reincarnates from life to life, both as a guide and an observer. While studying Evolutionary Astrology with Jeff Green, regression therapist Patricia Walsh realised that the potent combination of the two disciplines could help to resolve current issues which have their roots in past life experiences. The types of issues that arise in past life regressions to be healed are also the exact dynamics that Evolutionary Astrology aims to describe: * To understand the past security patterns, emotional and mental imprints that have conditioned the consciousness previous to this life. * To point the way to the path of evolution beyond these. Regression work adds to the understanding of issues presented in the natal chart This book is not written in a 'multiple choice' style. It will become apparent that the understanding of previous lives is not such a simple matter as a few keywords or thoughts relating to one or two symbols in the chart. Rather, this book is written like a journey through the archetypes, from the depths to the heights of each, and is meant to be read in that way, sequentially from Aries to Pisces. Once the elements of the karmic axis in a chart are understood, all the related archetypes in this book can be read in relation to a single chart and synthesized to give a whole picture.Trade Review"Patricia Walsh's monumental and unique contribution to an authentic astrologically based psychotherapy of the soul is the book I personally have been waiting for." Roger Woolger PhD Author of Other Lives, Other Selves. "This book is an absolute work of art, as well as of the mind, offering readers at all levels rich food for the soul, regardless of astrological training or spiritual beliefs. Patricia's description of the planets/signs and houses at the archetypal level is one of the most comprehensive I have ever read and will illuminate our paths for many years to come." Margaret Gray, ISAR Magazine May 2011. "I cannot more highly recommend this work to any serious student wishing to understand the true beauty of Evolutionary Astrology". --Jeffrey Wolf Green, Founder of Evolutionary Astrology School

Book SynopsisBack due to popular demand! For centuries, philosophers, alchemists and psychologists have been intrigued and fascinated by the intricacies of the labyrinth as a metaphor for human experience. Richard Idemon sees the birth chart, a symbol of inherent universal order, as a labyrinth - a logical but complicated and elusive structure. The interwoven symbols in the horoscope are made up of a single thread that, when unravelled - like the magic thread of Ariadne - lead us through the maze to the heart of the chart and our own nature. This book is transcribed from a six-day lecture given in 1986.

Book SynopsisAstrologer Gadbury penned this work 10 years after the King's execution in 1649 and towards the end of England's only time as a republic. The text is a fascinating glimpse not only into the history of a divided and revolutionary era but also in the manner that a 17th-century astrologer set about his craft.

Book SynopsisWhen Jeffrey Wolf Green retired and went into seclusion he left his daughter Deva with everything that he had ever written which included drafts of various manuscripts which he had intended to publish at various points. This also included every audio tape, video, dvd, and transcript of his lectures delivered over a lengthy career. He also gave Deva his business and asked her to carry on with it. This book reflects her desire to continue to disseminate his work as widely as possible. In Essays on Evolutionary Astrology: The Evolutionary Journey of The Soul there is a combination of transcribed lectures with parts of various manuscripts, most of which has never been in print before.

Book SynopsisIn his latest groundbreaking and thought-provoking book David Hamblin (Harmonic Charts, Aquarian press 1983), explores the astrological meaning of all the prime numbers up to 31. The charts of many famous people - from saints to murderers - are used to demonstrate that each number has its own distinctive quality, or spiritual essence, that affects the relationship between the planets in the chart. This fascinating book will transform chart interpretation and cause us to ponder the wider implications for the way in which we live our livesTrade ReviewThis book builds on David's pioneering work in harmonics, and further develops the themes presented in his groundbreaking Harmonic Charts, which inspired my own interest and made the subject accessible to a new generation of astrologers. If we genuinely believe that the chart mirrors our journey through life then we need to look more closely at what may be held within precise patterns that are often overlooked. In exploring the continuous interplay of planetary relationships David brings his understanding of number symbolism to a whole range of aspects, offering insights informed by spiritual, poetic and mathematic disciplines. His research into the significance of Number extends the work of Addey and Harvey and confirms his position as one of the key exponents of harmonic astrology.

Book SynopsisIn The Divine Comedy Dante tells the story of a pilgrim (himself) who is guided through the realms of the dead - Hell, Purgatory and Paradise - and the lessons about fortune and destiny that he learns along the way. This medieval work is of great interest to modern astrologers. Although astrologers, along with diviners and magicians, were placed in Hell, Dante's great poem is full of astrology; This book offers the reader an understanding of Dante's vast cosmology within the poem's moral, spiritual and dramatic contexts; it is an especially valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of cosmology or astrology and spirituality. The final section of this book explores Inferno 20 and discusses the relationship of astrological practice to that of divination, magic, and prophecy. We see that Dante's astrology is an expression of nature (and super-nature) that is ordered but subject to change, and, in the earthly realm, subject to decline and the need for regeneration. There are specifi c philosophical traditions underpinning The Divine Comedy's astrology - are these traditions also within modern astrology? We fi nd that astrology itself, like Dante's great poem, also dwells between the turnings of personal Fortune and the purposeful universe of Providence.

Book SynopsisThis lovely new version of 'The Sacred Dance of Venus and Mars' features a new cover and updated tables to 2035 for the positions of Venus and Mars. A beautiful book which for the first time explores the relationship between the cycles of Venus and Mars and their impact on our lives - especially where relationships are concerned. Michele Finey has thoroughly researched her subject, and using many case histories she shows how, although synastry is important, possibly of greater importance is the aspect between the two planets within their cycles because that can dictate the timing of key moments in a relationship. She shows how the degree of the original conjunction between the two planets ('the degree of passion'), based on the time of birth can indicate the kind of the people we are attracted to and the course a romance can follow. A really absorbing book which will prompt hours of research!Trade ReviewMichele Finey thoroughly explores the synodic cycles of Sun-Mars, Sun-Venus, and Venus-Mars in ways that elucidate the archetypal themes of the Hero's Journey. But the more complex cyclic dance of Venus-Mars is given special astrological attention as THE planetary pairing that best illuminates the deeper meaning behind our personal relationships throughout our lifetime. Finey's probing mind has also discovered a Saros Cycle for this vital Venus-Mars interplay, offering further insights into the broader implications of these planets. Altogether, this author has done a great job of researching and skillfully presenting such timeless material. - Bil Tierney, author of six astrology books, including Dynamics of Aspect Analysis.

Book SynopsisThe predictions of Nostradamus have been continuously in print since his death and count, alongside the Bible, as one of the two best selling books in publishing history. Today, interest has never been higher, with claims that he foretold recent events and fears that even worse is to come. But prophecy is a tricky business at best, and much of what is claimed for Nostradamus is based on mistranslation, over-optimistic interpretation or corrupt texts. This translation by a professional linguist offers a literary verse translation of all the original prophecies and identifies their historical sources. It identifies the original omen books, illustrated from the original sources and offers reports of these omens in contemporary English translations.

Book SynopsisMost of what has been written in the name of astrology refers to personality and prediction. Divine Astrology presents Astrology in its true sense as a spiritual rather than predictive system. It sees personality as being an expression of Spirit, and life as being a journey of Spirit driven by cosmic forces and governed by definite laws. Seen in this way the user is no longer simply a hapless puppet of the astrological influences prevailing at birth and through life. He or she is seen as an entity who can become en rapport with the very energies that are the stuff of astrology, the Planetary Powers. It relates these to the nature of God, to other religions and to modern cosmology and physics. We are co-creators with God, and by communing with the Hands of God, the Planetary Powers, we can change our destiny for the better. To this end, Divine Astrology first equips the reader with the "Scriptures", the planets, Signs and Houses that tell what forces we are all subject to. But we are direct expressions of these Powers and Conditions, and so are able to commune with them. This paves the way for the esoteric teaching that we are able to become as Gods. It leads onto the "Rituals" that are the Practice of Astrology, the Cosmic Religion. Like any religion, this involves prayer and ceremony, but more precisely "Invocation". The "equipment" of these Rituals are the 40 Cards that come with the book. The seeker is shown ways to resolve problems, have questions answered, attain support and security, receive enlightenment, become empowered. The book closes with "God's Skywriting" which demonstrates in simple tabular form how all the major events of the 20th and early 21st Century are correlated to the Cycles of various Planetary Pairs. It shows us how we are all caught up in something far greater and more universal than we usually believe.Trade ReviewPraise for The Instant Astrologer; 'Lyn is one of those rare astrologers who combines profound personal information with an accessible style designed to empower his readers to do it for themselves.

The original work was one of the earliest astrological textbooks in the vernacular, predating William Lilly''s famous English primer Christian Astrology by over a decade.
