World Astrology: The Astrologer's Quest to Understand the Human Character

by Peter H. Marshall

Peter Marshall set off on a quest to the places where astrology has been practiced for millennia—China, India, the Middle East, and Europe. Initially skeptical, Marshall was eventually persuaded by his research and travels that astrology not only contains the psychology of antiquity, but also offers profoundly modern insights into the workings of the mind. Astrology conveys important truths about the human character and the course of history, he argues, and can help us find our true place and purpose in the universe.

Reviews

[Ieva Šodnaka · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a good insight in history of astrology for new astrologers. I suppose that for readers without astrological grounding reading this book could be a little bit challenging.
