Description
A richly detailed, in-depth look at fixed stars and their role in affecting astrological predictions.
Since prehistory, humanity has been held in thrall by the night sky, captivated by the mystery of the stars. Seeking to make sense of such a magical overhead landscape, people used the stars to relate beliefs, creation stories, and mythologies. Just as the fixed stars have ancient origins in human life, their astrological interpretations get right to the heart of our lives.
Celebrated astrologer Bernadette Brady melds modern astrological techniques with Egyptian and early Greek mythology to bring astrologers to a deeper understanding of the horoscope and provides delineations for using fixed stars in chart interpretation. Her methods open a window on the fixed stars, revealing how a major star in a person's chart indicates the stage of life in which it is active and how it affirms the person's life journey through the mythology that the star represents.
Though the fixed stars have been watched and studied for all of human history, Brady's Book of Fixed Stars continues to be the astrological bible for how to use them in practice. This is an essential resource that should be on every astrologer's bookshelf.
The book includes:
- Paran maps, star maps, star phases, and mythologies for over sixty stars,
- New insights into the natal use of fixed stars, as well as their use in mundane astrology,
- Extensive appendices of graphs and tables to help astrologers find rising or setting dates for any given location,
- A listing of 176 stars with their 21st-century positions.
Originally published by Weiser Books in 1999, this Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Chloe Margherita.
