Astrology for All: To Which Is Added a Complete System of Predictive Astrology for Advanced Students
Excerpt from Astrology for All: To Which Is Added a Complete System of Predictive Astrology for Advanced Students
The day is past for writing a defence of Astrology, ahd no amount of argument will ever convince the sceptic, who is either too perverse or too indolent to investigate so grand a science as Astrology, a science which explains the law that governs all things. The best test that can be applied to this, as to all other subjects where first hand knowledge is required, is that of experience.
Reason, thought, and experience are the basis upon which the system adopted in this work is built. The ripened fruit of many years' toil and practice are offered to those who are sufficiently thirsty for the knowledge that Astrology brings to mankind, and the main object of the present publication is that of 'satisfying a demand made by the growing students of Astrology for more light.
Astrology is the Oldest of all sciences. Its history can be traced so far into the past that it becomes a hopeless task to actually dis cover when and where it had its origin. From Babylonia and the Chaldeans we find a belief in Astrology spreading throughout the whole world. Once the religion of a great and mighty race, it taught its people wisely, lifting their aspirations by faith, hope and rever ence through the media of the planetary spirits to the supreme One and Universal Spirit, the Logos of the Solar system.

I would describe this book as a combination of Heaven Knows What & Astrology For Millions by Grant Lewi. The book has in depth information of the zodiac through all the different planets & their aspects with each other. It even has a section describing the ascendant through the signs. Like Astrology for the Millions, it has a moon sign calendar at the back of the book, which is very useful.

serían 3.5 pero no es opción. me ha parecido interesante, ha sido mi primer contacto “técnico” con la astrología y aunque no me haya quedado con tanto a nivel aprendizaje me parece un buen libro a modo de herramienta. hay algunas partes en las que se nota que el libro está un poco anticuado a día de hoy, pero no se siente viejuno en absoluto. habiendo dicho todo eso no sé si sólo sucede en la edición que yo tengo o en todas pero hay varios errores de impresión, nada grave que dificulte la lectura pero sí cosas graciosas como un “410” invertido en espejo.
