The legend of Magi Astrology began at dawn during the spring equinox of 1625. It was then that a small group of Shao Lin monks gathered at a monastery-fort on top of a mountain near the southern coast of China to form a secret society of astrologers, which has the Western name of the Magi Society. Since that time, most of the legendary astrologers of China have been Magi Astrologers. They have been best known for their remarkable ability to predict matters related to marriage, the birth of children, war, and peace. Through hundreds of years, the Magi Society remained a secret society for the very few who were the most gifted astrologers of China. Membership in the society was very limited, and each member passed on their secrets to new members. Anticipating that the communists would take over China, all of the members of the Magi Society left their homeland between 1945 and 1948. Most settled in Hong Kong and carried on the society's long-standing traditions of advancing astrological knowledge. The society now has a worldwide network of members. A chapter of the society was officially founded in America in 1995. During the last 20 years, through extensive research and the use of high-speed personal computers, the Magi Society has made monumental discoveries in astrology. This has allowed the Society to incorporate immensely powerful and completely new techniques into Magi Astrology. In so doing, Magi Astrology has leaped light years in capabilities. This is the third book by the Magi Society. It is the first one written to teach the basics of Magi Astrology to the world. Get ready to enter the magical world of Magi Astrology! It will help you see the universe with an understanding, clarity, and set of perspectives that will truly improve your life. Magi Astrology is a life altering and life enriching experience. With it, you'll finally have the astrological tools you need to most prudently deal with all matters pertaining to love and money. Magi Astrology is easy to understand and master. It contains the new astrological knowledge that will help you finally answer questions such as: * Is this my soul mate or just another temporary playmate? * Will I marry this person, and if so, will the marriage be happy and lifelong? * Is this person the faithful type, or the runaround kind? * Why do some of us fall in love with the wrong person? * What is the essence of this individual's personality and character? And how compatible are we together? * Do the two of us have a mutual destiny together? If so, what is the nature of that destiny? Is it marriage? Just being lovers? Or is it only friendship? * Will this extraordinarily sexual relationship end in just another one of those burn outs and leave a bitter pile of emotional ashes in its wake? * Will this charmer be there for you through the inevitable bad times, or will you be deserted in your hour of greatest need? * Will you triumph over your rival for the undying love of the person you want to be with? The answers to such questions have always been in the stars! And the astounding new knowledge that is a part of Magi Astrology uncovers these answers, finally providing the astrological capabilities needed to understand: * What it is that makes a prince fall in love with a commoner. And why does a glamorous Hollywood superstar marry a seemingly ordinary person? * Why King Edward VIII gave up the throne of England for Mrs. Wallis Simpson. And why did Elvis Presley, at the peak of his fame, fall in love with 14-year-old Priscilla, and marry only her? * Why Prince Charles first married Diana, but then chose Camilla over the princess. * What made Evita irresistible to Juan Peron. * Why Bill Clinton keeps getting into trouble with women. The stars' secrets are now finally revealed through the use of Magi Astrology, and by learning it, you can accurately answer all of the above types of questions as they apply in your own life. Magi Astrology can even help you gain the deep insight you need to handle dilemmas such as these: * Will this relationship improve or worsen? Should you simply break it off right now and end it all together? Or does it deserve another chance? * When the ecstasy of the physical attraction that you now have with this person wanes, how do you keep the relationship from becoming another one of those fade-aways? How can you replace the sex with the undying selfless love you yearn for and need? * How can the two of you live together most harmoniously and cooperatively? Is this person capable of a give-and-take relationship, or only a take and take disaster? Good and viable solutions to such problems will actually become clear to you through Magi Astrology's revolutionary new methods of analyzing relationships. Better still, Magi Astrology gives you the ability to harness the power of the planets and make them work to your benefit! You can do so by selecting the most favorable times to do something consequential. There is a good time and a bad time to do everything. By learning Magi Astrology, you will know when is the best time to: * Meet your prospective in-laws for the first time. * Get married or engaged. * Initiate a love relationship with someone you might

  • Strategies of Defending Astrology: a Continuing Tradition
    Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition by Teri Gee A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Teri Gee (2012) Strategies of Defending Astrology: A Continuing Tradition Teri Gee Doctorate of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Astrology is a science which has had an uncertain status throughout its history, from its beginnings in Greco-Roman Antiquity to the medieval Islamic world and Christian Europe which led to frequent debates about its validity and what kind of a place it should have, if any, in various cultures. Written in the second century A.D., Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos is not the earliest surviving text on astrology. However, the complex defense given in the Tetrabiblos will be treated as an important starting point because it changed the way astrology would be justified in Christian and Muslim works and the influence Ptolemy’s presentation had on later works represents a continuation of the method introduced in the Tetrabiblos. Abû Ma‘shar’s Kitâb al- Madkhal al-kabîr ilâ ‘ilm ahk. âm al-nujûm, written in the ninth century, was the most thorough surviving defense from the Islamic world. Roger Bacon’s Opus maius, although not focused solely on advocating astrology, nevertheless, does contain a significant defense which has definite links to the works of both Abû Ma‘shar and Ptolemy. As such, he demonstrates another stage in the development of astrology.

  • Why Astrology Is Science: Five Good Reasons
    Why Astrology is Science: Five Good Reasons Tapan Das, Ph.D., P.Eng. An excerpt from Why Astrology is Science Stars and planets each have a different influence on our lives depending on their position in their signs and heavenly houses … all these cosmic forces shape our thoughts, which in turn direct our actions. If we are warned that we are prone to rash actions due to the influence of certain planets, then we can hold a check on our emotion and avoid rash action and catastrophic results. If we know that the position of the planets give a favorable condition, then we can take advantage of it by proper action. This is how astrology can help us without giving specific answers to specific questions.

  • Claudius Ptolemy: Tetrabiblos
    CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY: TETRABIBLOS OR THE QUADRIPARTITE MATHEMATICAL TREATISE FOUR BOOKS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE STARS TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK PARAPHRASE OF PROCLUS BY J. M. ASHMAND London, Davis and Dickson [1822] This version courtesy of http://www.classicalastrologer.com/ Revised 04-09-2008 Foreword It is fair to say that Claudius Ptolemy made the greatest single contribution to the preservation and transmission of astrological and astronomical knowledge of the Classical and Ancient world. No study of Traditional Astrology can ignore the importance and influence of this encyclopaedic work. It speaks not only of the stars, but of a distinct cosmology that prevailed until the 18th century. It is easy to jeer at someone who thinks the earth is the cosmic centre and refers to it as existing in a sublunary sphere. However, our current knowledge tells us that the universe is infinite. It seems to me that in an infinite universe, any given point must be the centre. Sometimes scientists are not so scientific. The fact is, it still applies to us for our purposes and even the most rational among us do not refer to sunrise as earth set. It practical terms, the Moon does have the most immediate effect on the Earth which is, after all, our point of reference. She turns the tides, influences vegetative growth and the menstrual cycle. What has become known as the Ptolemaic Universe, consisted of concentric circles emanating from Earth to the eighth sphere of the Fixed Stars, also known as the Empyrean. This cosmology is as spiritual as it is physical.

  • Fallacy of the Trans-Saturnian Planets
    www.ShyamasundaraDasa.com Fallacy of the trans-Saturnian Planets copyright © 1997 by Shyamasundara Dasa The following article is an excerpt from a work in progress. Abstract: Now that Vedic astrology has become popular in the West many Western trained astrologers are attempting to fuse the two systems or introduce Western concepts such as the trans-Saturnian planets into the Vedic system. Over the years some Indian astrologers have also attempted to introduce these planets into Vedic astrology. Such attemps are destructive to the internal philosophical consistency and logical structure of Vedic astrology. In addition it undermines the effectiveness of Jyotisha while revealing a lack of understanding of the philosophical foundations of Vedic astrology, and the history of how trans- Saturnian planets were introduced. And finally this practice demonstrates a general disrespect for the guru-parampara. If this erosion of Vedic astrology were to continue, then Jyotisha would find itself in the same confused state that Western Astrology is in today, culminating in loss of accuracy, loss of respectability and ultimately the destruction of Jyotisha as a Vedic discipline. Graha Versus Planet There is a fundamental difference between the Vedic concept of graha and the Western use of Planets in astrology. Graha, by definition, is anything which has the power to seize, grasp or influence. In this case “seizing or influencing the destinies of men in a supernatural manner.”1 The word for planet on the other hand is translated as loka in Sanskrit. Not all grahas are lokas, nor are all lokas grahas. In English, this means that the class of entities or objects which have divinatory significance includes planets, but not all planets have divinatory significance.

  • Jung on Astrology
    Jung on Astrology Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jung’s thoughts on astrology in a single volume for the fi rst time, signifi cantly adding to our understanding of his work. Jung’s Collected Works , seminars, and letters contain numerous discussions of this ancient divinatory system, and Jung himself used astrological horoscopes as a diagnostic tool in his analytic practice. Understood in terms of his own psychology as a symbolic representation of the archetypes of the collective unconscious, Jung found in astrology a wealth of spiritual and psychological meaning and suggested it represents the “sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.” The selections and editorial introductions by Safron Rossi and Keiron Le Grice address topics that were of critical importance to Jung – such as the archetypal symbolism in astrology, the precession of the equinoxes and astrological ages, astrology as a form of synchronicity and acausal correspondence, the qualitative nature of time, and the experience of astrological fate – allowing readers to assess astrology’s place within the larger corpus of Jung’s work and its value as a source of symbolic meaning for our time. The book will be of great interest to analytical psychologists, Jungian psy- chotherapists, and academics and students of depth psychology and Jungian and post-Jungian studies, as well as to astrologers and therapists of other orientations, especially transpersonal. Safron Rossi, PhD, is a Professor of mythology and depth psychology in the Jungian and Archetypal Studies specialization at Pacifi ca Graduate Institute, Cali- fornia. For many years she was curator of the Joseph Campbell and James Hillman manuscript collections.

    All material copyright 2004-2011 by Gloria Star. All rights reserved Gloria Star — A Biographical Sketch It was not my plan to become an astrologer. In fact, like most people I knew very little about “real” astrology when I was growing up. By the time I entered college — (when I, of course, knew everything!) — a friend was always talking about her amazement with astrology. “You’re way too smart to fall for that!” I told her. So, she challenged me, and I took the bait. I set out to disprove astrology. Imagine my surprise when, after setting up an empirical study of the subject, I began to realize that there was real substance to this ancient system of understanding life. Coupled with my academic endeavors in the fi elds of nursing, secondary education and psychology — the study of astrology and metaphysics was a perfect compliment. I began my work as a professional astrologer in the 1970s, and thus far the journey has been life- transforming. My clients have been my best teachers, and although I have taught countless classes in astrology, metaphysics and life enrichment — it is the process itself that has been most enriching and consciousness-expanding. Part of my quest has led me to write, and in the past seventeen years I’ve written, edited or contributed to 29 astrology books, annuals and anthologies. Among these, Astrology: Woman to Woman, Optimum Child (revised as Astrology & Your Child), and the Llewellyn Sun Sign and Moon Sign Books are probably the best known. Several of my books have been translated into other languages beyond English.

    Natal Chart Discovery The natal chart is essentially a map showing the exact placement of various planets within the zodiac at the time and place of birth. Based upon the specifics of the heavens at that moment of birth, the planets are placed throughout the natal chart. The natal chart is a 360-degree circle divided into 12 parts. Each of these parts corresponds to a different “house” or area of life. The houses are numbered 1 to 12 beginning with the ascendant house. The ascendant represents the sign that was prominent (rising) on the horizon at your exact moment of birth. Knowledge of birth time is necessary and required for an accurate reading as the ascendant calculation lays out the remaining 11 houses of the natal chart. The natal chart provides a roadmap of our life, including our strengths, challenges, inhibitions, desires and it goes SO MUCH DEEPER. Depending on the specific house that a planet is placed in at the moment of birth, we can develop an idea of that planet’s influence on the individual. Constraint? Struggle? Joy? Expansion? This all depends on the interplay of the planets and houses. Also, depending on the moment of birth, each house will fall within a particular zodiac sign, further coloring the life experience with respect to the affairs of the 12 houses. Deep insights can be gained by developing an understanding of one’s natal chart placements. It is my great joy to be able to share with you this very high-level study of the houses, zodiac signs and planets.
