Ancient astrologers declared stars "fixed" to distinguish them from wandering stars, which they called planets. This book is the distillation of two thousand years of astrological research. It is a comprehensive survey of fixed stars in natal & mundane astrology, the stars & constellations of medieval magic, and fixed stars in astrometeorology. Robson gives their traditional meanings & their effects when combined with planets & angles. Convenient tables & a comprehensive index make this volume easy to use. Included are some 110 named stars, as well as 48 ancient constellations & 60 modern ones. Arabic, Chinese & Hindu lunar mansions are also discussed. Since its first publication in 1923, this book has been the classic on fixed stars, the one to which everyone since has referred. About the author: Vivian Erwood Robson, 1890 - 1942, was a librarian by trade. Like many librarians he had a natural bent for research, and, in his particular case, astrology. He studied ancient astrologers closely, including Ptolemy & William Lilly. His books on fixed stars, electional astrology & relationships are 20th century classics. ar

<p>Electional Astrology is concerned with the choosing of a propitious time for the commencement of any undertaking. Fundamentally, it is the converse of Horary Astrology, for although the methods are similar, Electional starts from the point at which Horary Astrology finishes and works back to the point at which the latter begins. For example, suppose a new business is being considered, and the horoscope for the proposed date of beginning indicates failure of he venture. The resourceful person will consider a different date which will favor the venture. Choose a suitable horoscope first and fit everything else into it. In these days of business uncertainty the re-issue of this book is very timely. The information given here will be a source of practical assistance to the Astrologer to forecast an auspicious time to set up a new business which will be successful. It is assumed that a knowledge of the rudiments of astrology precedes the use of this work. In a comprehensive glossary the author has included an explanation of all technical terms..</p>
