William Lilly, famous throughout England for his almanacs & forecasts (he predicted London's Great Fire of 1666), lived during the English Civil War & was a minor historical figure in it. Into his studio came the rich and poor, nobles and commoners, with problems great and small. This new edition restores Lilly's original page layouts, with marginalia. Modern spelling throughout, this edition includes Lilly's bibliography, his original index & a new glossary. Also includes his original woodblock charts, and their modern versions. This is Lilly's great work as he himself knew it.

    The ascendant is the foundation of every chart, in this book each ascendant has at least 10 pages of explanation. It reveals the unique nature of each person, shown by the psychology of each planet. "Before we can effectively use Yogas, judge transits and use other advanced methods, our foundation must be strong and rooted in the firm soil of understanding. That understanding begins with the ascendant and planets as house lords. Once rooted in this fertile soil, advanced methods become clarified and the tree of Jyotish can grow. This allows our practice to be a shelter of truth and clarity to those who seek our guidance." - Excerpt from "The Ascendant"

    This title contains theory, real-life practical examples, and a 'cookbook' section, which helps you start your interpretations by looking up the meaning of any configuration. It seeks to prove that the whole is always greater than the sum of the parts.

    This book expands this awareness manifold by revealing that it is the 27 constellations, and not the 12 signs, which truly map the ecliptic and provide the celestial backdrop for affairs on earth. Instead of taking away from the widely recognized meanings and significations of the 12 signs, they enrich them with a whole new depth of perspective and interpretation.

    In Egypt astrology was employed for daily life; the stars were the source and at the same time the heralds of everything that happened, and the right to study the 'godlike science' of astrology was a privilege of the priesthood. The most ancient dwellers on the Euphrates, the Akkado-Sumerians, were believers in judicial astrology which was closely interwoven with their worship of the stars. The same is true of their successors, the Babylonians and Assyrians. David Ovason's new book presents the history of the horoscope through a rich variety of individual horoscopes which illuminate cultures and societies throughout the ages. He ranges from the earliest known personal horoscope, cast in 419 BC for the son of Shuma-usur in Babylon, through those cast by Henry Bolingbroke for Henry VI, and the eerily accurate horoscopes of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, to those of President Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald. common language of the horoscope has developed over the past 3500 years and an illuminating insight into the quest for understanding of the human condition.

    In this first of three volumes, the basic building blocks of astrological language are presented, not in the dry, 'cookbook' manner which mars so many astrology texts, but in a lively and relaxed format punctuated by questions from students, making the material accessible, fluent, and immediately applicable to everyday life. The reader is taken on a fascinating journey through the solar system, the ancient planetary gods, and the energies and motivations symbolised by their astrological equivalents; and then through the signs of the zodiac, their elements and qualities, and the ways in which different planets express through them. The inclusion of the psychological dimension of human life, as well as the profound symbolism of alchemy as a parallel map of the individual journey, make this an exciting, in-depth exploration which will expand the understanding, not only of the student with no previous knowledge, but also of the msot experienced astrological practitioner.
