[the authors] … wickedly, brazenly break the rules by which this dry, complex subject is normally taught. They make astrology fun. They make it easy and then …they slowly infect you with a burning desire to find out more… And boy, do they know their stuff. If you stick with them, you'll know yours' – Jonathan Cainer, Daily Expresspre-history to contemporary Europe and America. For professional astrologers, this is a reference book in which they can quickly access brief biographies of historical and contemporary astrologers, together with the history and background of their subject in separate entries. Students will find it equally useful in providing textbook definitions of astrological terms and basic explanations of technical aspects of astrology.

Quotes

  • Hajer Ladherihas quoted8 months ago
    Uranus in the FOURTH HOUSE

    A certain perversity will be discernable, with moodiness and unpredictability. A desire for a stable home life will conflict with a need for freedom from responsibility. Original ideas should not be set aside, but be properly developed.
  • Hajer Ladherihas quoted8 months ago
    Uranus in PISCES

    Pisces is a sign noted for kindliness and charity, and those with Uranus in Pisces will bring the humanitarian elements of the planet to the fore. These tendencies will not dominate the personality completely, but there will certainly be a basic sympathy for those working to improve the lot of the less fortunate. The tension implied by Uranus will come into contact with the emotional forces of Pisces, and if they are recognized and channelled constructively they can work well. Pisceans and Virgos will feel this influence strongly; Cancerians and Scorpios will benefit most.
  • Hajer Ladherihas quoted8 months ago
    Hipparchus (190BC–ca.120BC) The greatest pre-Ptolemaic Greek astronomer, Hipparchus’s work towers over that of his contemporaries. He discovered PRECESSION and compiled the first star catalogue to be set down in the West. He is believed to have invented the ASTROLABE. He wrote at least 14 books, though none has survived. His work was of great value to astrologers, and he may at least have theorized about the subject: Pliny states that he ‘can never be sufficiently praised, no one having done more to prove that man is related to the stars and that our souls are a part of heaven’
