Experiments & Experience with Astrology


Book Description

In this eBook original, numerous practical as well as philosophical issues are explored. In an in-depth, wide-ranging interview appearing in book form for the first time, Stephen Arroyo answers questions about his early years in astrology, how he came to write some of his classic works, and his views on various central issues in astrology’s current practice and potential future development. In another chapter, he provides concise new observations and guidelines that provide more insightful ways of understanding many factors in both individual birth charts and chart comparisons. In the other sections of this book, he discusses what astrology can contribute to psychology, how to understand the Ascendant, and possible explanations of transits’ powerful effects. And importantly, this is the only book currently available that describes and explores his unique theory of “subtones” as an incisive, psychologically revealing method of achieving greater depth in understanding any birth chart. In short, utilizing “subtones” is a method of synthesizing the major chart factors in any person’s chart in a simple, quick way that people at any level of astrological knowledge can easily learn and reliably use.

The Duke and the Stars


Book Description

The Duke and the Stars explores science and medicine as studied and practiced in fifteenth-century Italy, including how astrology was taught in relation to astronomy. It illustrates how the “predictive art” of astrology was often a critical, secretive source of information for Italian Renaissance rulers, particularly in times of crisis.




The Luminaries


Book Description

The winner of the Man Booker Prize, this "expertly written, perfectly constructed" bestseller (The Guardian) is now a Starz miniseries. It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to stake his claim in New Zealand's booming gold rush. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. Richly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, The Luminaries is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping page-turner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement. It richly confirms that Eleanor Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international literary firmament.
