Distilled in Gr co-Roman antiquity, and refined in the fires of philosophy and astronomy, it forms the bedrock of traditional western astrology (while also bearing profound similarities to \u003cem\u003eJyotish\u003c\/em\u003e or Vedic astrology). Drawing on a body of Greek texts that have remained largely untranslated for almost two-thousand years, Demetra George brings the contemporary practice of astrology back to its ancient roots. Scholar, translator, and practitioner, her work reveals the potent cosmological veins that bear the lifeblood of traditional astrology.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eAncient Astrology in Theory and Practice \u003c\/em\u003eis, in essence, a training manual for the study and practice of Hellenistic astrology. In two volumes, it provides the complete foundations and detailed dynamics of ancient chart-reading techniques. Each volume and each technique is richly illustrated with diagrams, example charts, and practical exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume 1: Assessing Planetary Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn ancient cosmology, the planetary divinities symbolised the hierarchy of forces that shape our lives in the sublunary world. Not all planets are created equal in a given nativity, however, and so the first step of the practicing astrologer is to assess the \u003cem\u003econdition\u003c\/em\u003e of each planet in a chart in order to determine its effectiveness (or lack thereof) in the native's life. To this end, this volume provides a series of rigorous methods for evaluating the condition of each planet in a birth chart through the lenses of \u003cem\u003eclassification\u003c\/em\u003e (sect, gender, benefic\/malefic), \u003cem\u003esigns and rulerships\u003c\/em\u003e (residences, reception, exaltation, trigons, bounds), \u003cem\u003ethe solar phase cycle\u003c\/em\u003e (speed, direction, visibility, phase, phasis), \u003cem\u003elunar considerations\u003c\/em\u003e (course, phases, bonding, nodes, bending, eclipses, prenatal lunation), and \u003cem\u003easpects\u003c\/em\u003e (configurations, witnessing, testimony, bonification, maltreatment, adherence, overcoming, rays). Finally, it brings all of these factors together in a powerful synthesis that unlocks the layers of a chart with unrivaled precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 622\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 30, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48192585793706,"sku":"9780473445393","price":70.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1475\/4218\/files\/Mm4veHU4OENJSmdSZUFVTzRmWUI3UT09.webp?v=1775786700","url":"https:\/\/wiccancenter.com\/zh-hans\/products\/ancient-astrology-in-theory-and-practice-a-manual-of-traditional-techniques-volume-i-assessing-planetary-condition-paperback","provider":"Wiccan Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
