The Zodiac Rules: New Evidence for the Veracity of Ancient Astrology, Paperback/Seaward Alden-Rye

Descriere

Description A wide-ranging book for both astrology buffs and the curious. It makes a case for a return to the ancient sidereal zodiac developed in Babylonia and inherited by India. However, although the precession of the equinoxes was already known to the Greeks, they failed to understand the relation between it and the Eastern zodiac.

The zodiac hints at challenges faced by the journeying soul, but Western civilization has been hellbent on denying the true dignity of Man. Those in the habit of profiting on people weaker than themselves will not like the discoveries here presented. Theoretical, speculative as well as historical, the book even attempts to uncover a forgotten tradition about the evil star Algol, presumed to be a part of the astrological studies conducted by the original Palestinian Christians while still calling themselves the Children of Light. Certain passages might be a bit complex, but the reader will be fascinated to find out how the zodiac appears to encode an ancient "psycho-cosmology" known from Roman philosopher Plotinus and Hinduism alike. Contrasting with the denser sample horoscope pointers, lighter strokes are used when presenting certain less well understood astrological symbols.

No matter one's background, the reader will emerge with new and surprising insights into the zodiac, this old manual for the way things are or should be. The book contains a condensed account of the cosmology around year one, closely related to
