Chinese Mathematical Astrology: Reaching Out to the Stars

Chinese Mathematical Astrology: Reaching Out to the Stars

Though there are a number of well-written works on Chinese divination, there are none that deal with the three sophisticated devices that were employed by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau in the eleventh century and for hundreds of years thereafter. Chinese experts applied the methods associated with these devices to both weather forecasting and to the interpretation of human affairs. Hidden by a veil of secrecy, these methods have always been relatively little known other than by their names. The first work in any language to explore these three methods, known as sanshi (three cosmic boards), this book sheds light on a topic which has been shrouded in mystery for centuries, having been kept secret for many years by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau.







Encyclopaedia of Medical Astrology

Encyclopaedia of Medical Astrology

"In my years of practice as a physician, I have, by the use of Astrology, been able to very quickly locate the seat of the disease, the cause of the trouble, the time when the patient began to feel uncomfortable, as based on the birth data of the patient, and this without even touching or examining the patient, and my intense desire to get this knowledge and wisdom before students and Healers in a classified form, is the reason for this Encyclopaedia. . . . When once you have discovered the cause of the disease, and understand its philosophy and the relation of the patient to the great Scheme of Nature, the matter of treatment I leave to you, and according to the System and Methods you may be using." (pg. 502)This is not only the best book ever written on medical astrology, it is also the best medieval medical reference ever put in print. This book excels in diagnosis, in other words, if the symptom is X, then the astrological cause is Y. Which becomes the key to reading the patient's chart, or his decumbiture. Cornell writes in traditional language. The same language, in fact, as you will find in Culpeper, Saunders, Lilly, Blagrave and many others. This book is the key that will open these and many more.Howard Leslie Cornell, M.D., (1872-1938) was a naturopathic physician with apractice in the US and India. In 1918 he set about to compile the medical references in his many astrology books. As he himself wrote, it became a momentous task, eventually comprising two large ledgers. These were then arranged, classified, disentangled and wrote into readable form. Only at that point did he consider making a proper book of it, and set about retyping and rearranging yet again. The result of 15 years work was published in 1933. It has been in print, off and on, ever since. It remains the one indispensable medical astrology book.The Encyclopaedia of Medical Astrology repays close study. A page-by-page reading is most rewarding.

Sacred Marriage Astrology the Soul's Desire for Wholeness

Sacred Marriage Astrology the Soul's Desire for Wholeness

For millennia, astrology has been used for much more than personality typing and event prediction. Its deeper applications reveal the nature of Soul and creation itself. When applied to this deeper layer of human consciousness, astrology reveals itself to be a powerful tool for tracking the Soul pattern, and its past and current evolutionary drives. In The Soul's Desire for Wholeness, astro-alchemist Adam Gainsburg explains the foundational background, fundamental components, and astrological methods of Sacred Marriage Astrology, an entire orientation to the vastness of the astrological mysteries designed to precisely illuminate and powerfully catalyze our authentic hieros gamos ("holy union") within the body and mind. With clear visual graphics illuminating many of its principles, The Soul's Desire for Wholeness provides the tools needed to track the Soul intelligence within our Identity context, thereby re-vivifying the ancient and timeless sacred marriage within. Includes comprehensive explanations of the astrological signs, planets, houses, lunar nodes, angles, aspects, elements, modes, retrogradation, hemispheres, and quadrants, as well as the Soul's Desire, the Identity's Vehicle, and special essays on intimacy, manifestation, polarity, Chiron, Pluto, the Moon and more.







Early Christianity and Ancient Astrology

Early Christianity and Ancient Astrology

Early Christianity and Ancient Astrology explores a variety of responses to astrology, the most popular form of divination among early Christians in Greco-Roman antiquity. After a brief overview of ancient astrological theory and a survey of polemical responses to it, this book documents instances in which early Christian writers and communities incorporated astrology positively into their beliefs and practices. This study is of interest to students of early Christianity and of Greco-Roman religion and to those concerned with interfaith relations or with issues of Christian unity and diversity. It is particularly recommended for use in courses on the history of Christianity and on the religions of Greco-Roman antiquity.

Secrets of Nature: Astrology and Alchemy in Early Modern Europe

Secrets of Nature: Astrology and Alchemy in Early Modern Europe

In recent years scholars have begun to acknowledge that the occult sciences were not marginal enterprises but an integral part of the worldview of many of our ancestors. Astrology was one of the many intellectual tools--along with what we consider to be the superior tools of social and political analysis--that Renaissance thinkers used to attack practical and intellectual problems. It was a coherent body of practices, strongly supported by social institutions. And alchemy was not viewed primarily as a spiritual pursuit, an idea popularized by nineteenth-century occultists, but as a part of natural philosophy. It was often compared to medicine. Many Renaissance writers suggested links between astrology and alchemy that went beyond the use of astrological charts to determine the best time to attempt alchemical operations. "Secrets of Nature" shows the many ways in which astrology (a form of divination) and alchemy (an artisanal pursuit concerned with the technologies of minerals and metals) diverge as well as intersect. Overall, it shows how an appreciation of the role of the occult opens up new ways of understanding the past. Topics include the career of Renaissance astrologer Girolamo Cardano and his work on medical astrology, the astrological thinking of Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei, the history of the Rosicrucians and the influence of John Dee, the work of medical alchemist Simon Forman, and an extended critique of the existing historiography of alchemy.







Astrology, Science and Culture

Astrology, Science and Culture

Mainstream science has long dismissed astrology as primitive superstition. Yet, from daily horoscopes to personalized star forecasts, astrology still plays a crucial role in organizing many people's everyday lives. There has, however, been no convincing explanation of its appeal. "Astrology, Science and Culture" finally fills this gap. Willis and Curry tackle astrology's rich history, its problematic relationship to psychology, and its attempts to prove its own validity. They argue that astrology has its roots in the Neolithic culture of Europe and the Middle East but, far from being a relic of years gone by, it still challenges its opponents' unquestioning belief in conventional modern science. Groundbreaking in its reconciliation of astrology's ancient traditions and its modern-day usage, this book impressively unites philosophy, science, anthropology, and history. It is the first exploration of the intimate connection of humankind and the stars from the dawn of pre-history to the present day.
