Dedication

This book is dedicated to two special woman, Carol Puglisi and Renee Francis in recognition of their devotion to beautifying the world around them and the sharing of their heart and soul so freely given to all they come in contact with. Their power to make Astrology come alive has left me awe-inspired; not only

by their talents, but also in their love and enthusiasm for communicating the secrets of the craft.

A special thanks also goes out to Monica D. Rocha along with Keith and Sharon Karagan for their technical assistance. It seems that nothing worth doing in this life can really be done effectively without the generous cooperation of others. This is one of the beautiful vicissitudes of life.

Preface

Astrology goes to the very core of the Western Mystery Tradition. The twelve houses of the Zodiac describe a complete mystical journey through life. By its very nature, it describes clearly how to become fully human and more complete than most of usually end up attaining. The twelve stages of growth and initiation are each in themselves existential crises' that work like sand in an oyster; but to produce a pearl. Wisdom, health, wealth and spiritual success are the fruits of this art and science.

Geometry is the key to the study of the sky. The angular relationships of specific heavenly bodies is keenly felt upon the psyche, which is far more sensitive an instrument than most of us are aware. In occult terms, it is said that we are all interconnected with the universe on a plane of a less dense, more nebulous matter or 'ether' as coined by Eliphas Levi. This is a sort of plasma or menstruum that has two intersecting currents that meet in every sentient being (and all the universe is sentient!). One current is elemental and horizontal; running over the surface of the earth. And the other is spiritual and vertical; found in that which is called the solar 'Prana'.

The history of Astrology and the study of a host of different approaches to it, provides a profound study for the serious student. In the study of astrological history, one will encounter the history of the human spirit and forge a real racial connection with our noble human race through all its various cultures and myths. And there's Vedic Astrology, Uranian Astrology and Sidereal Astrology along with our culture's more tradition Tropical Astrology, which is now more symbolic in quality. These will prove most rewarding if the student but first master the thorough basics that this book creates the opportunity for.

Explore each exercise and take your time; thoroughly absorbing each set of symbols and each mental exercise. It is not a book to be rushed into and read. But it is a book to provide a thorough investigation into the practice of Astrology for he or she that has had no prior training or education in either Astrology or any of the other arts and sciences of the Western Mystery Tradition. And because of how vast Astrology actually is, one will find that those other crafts are of our tradition are in themselves inspired by that ancient wonder of wonders...when humanity first learned to look to the sky.
