For Astrologers:

  • Primary Motion:
    The angles, quadrants and houses. Learn some basics of medieval Astrology. Astrology is a practical tool for understanding the cycles of nature and human life. Without knowing astrologies perspective, how can we try to interpret or predict?

  • Tropical Astrology
    traditional western Astrology and its foundation in our seasons. This was originally written as a rebuttal in a discussion of the tropical (seasonal) zodiac and the sidereal (star) zodiac.

  • M.L. King's 3rd House
    a brief analysis of Martin Luther King's 3rd house (from a study group with Jonathan James). This walks more advanced students through the basics of delineating in the medieval astrological tradition.

  • Planetary hours
    An Astrologer's study notes on the planetary hours are and how they affect us. Jonathan James records the changes from one hour to another, as he sits in a Minneapolis cafe.

  • Calculating Planetary Hours
    bring a calculator, a pen and a table of sunrise and sunset for your area. This math is not pretty, but it is pretty useful. Once you can figure out the planetary hours, you can begin electing times to get started on new projects, love or work.

Book Reviews:

  • Tools and Techniques of the medieval Astrologer by Robert Zoller
    If you are going to be a homegrown, self-taught Astrologer, I suggest this as one of your text-books. It is not for Beginner's, without a little coaching. Solid information with practical chart references.

  • The Book of Rulerships by Lee Lehman
    A handy reference guide that lives in my backpack. Lee created one of the quickest and most useful tools for Astrologers who ask questions and want many opinions. This book relies wholly on Rennaissance and pre-Renn. Astrologers, then notes their initials next to the rulership (in case you want to find the rulership in the context of the original works).

  • Tetrabiblios by Ptolemy
    William Lilly swore by it, I believe. Some moderns swear at it. Really, this is one of the pillars of Western Astrology. Ptolemy, the scientific journalist, well-summed the rules of the Hellenistic-Egyptian Astrologers. Useful for weather prediction, vocational study, fame indications and for one of the doctrines on length of life.

  • A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe, The Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art and Science, A Voyage From 1 to 10 by Michael S. Schneider
    Sometimes Astrologers must know more than just Astrology. This Mathematician explains how geometry is found in organic nature and how it express itself in the numbers 1 through 10 (i.e., 6 sided objects are crystals in nature, not quickly changing and rather stable made of two triangles).

  • Late Classical Astrology: Paulus Alexandrius and Olympiodorus
    translated by Dorian Giesler Greenbaum, M.A.
    This is a useful, but difficult book. If I didn't already know the basic tools of medieval Astrology, I would have trouble wading through this. Doris Greenbaum has still brought forth an important work for our study.

  • The Book of Instruction in the Elements of the Art of Astrology by Al-Biruni and translated by R. Ramsey Wright.
    Al-Biruni thought an Astrologer must know geometry, math, Astronomy and more, before studying the interpretation of them in natal figures and horary questions. The long book walks you through all the basics. The final section, on Astrology, is one of the most useful reference works I have ever seen.

  • Liber Astronomiae by Guido Bonnatti and translated by Robert Zoller.
    Bonnatti's work — his later works are still being translated — is an encyclopedic examination of techniques of the medieval Astrologer. He references Masters and gives a summary of their interpretation in his descriptions of Astrology.

Web Site Reviews:

  • I haven't gotten around to this section and in revising this site's layout just found what I had previously written. As of now, any reviews are on hold, as they have been and will be, unless something special motivates me.
