An Introduction To Astrology; With Numerous Emendations, Adapted To The Improved State Of The Science In The Present Day A Grammar Of Astrology, And Tables For Calculating Nativities.
A living handbook from seventeenth-century astrology. Clear, rigorous, and unexpectedly humane. William Lilly's An Introduction to Astrology offers a rare combination: an astrological grammar manual that defines the technical language of signs, houses and aspects, and practical tables for calculating nativities that allow a reader to assemble a working natal chart. Part classic astrology guide and part indispensable astrology reference book, it presents natal chart calculation in a straightforward, teachable sequence and lays the foundation for practical horoscope interpretation techniques. Readers learning on their own will find it a robust companion for astrology self-study; beginner astrology students gain direct access to the methods that shaped later practice. The prose is concise and purposeful, turning specialised procedure into a readable craft. Beyond the manual, the volume is a vivid witness to the history of astrology and the wider currents of early modern occult thought. Lilly's systematic register of signs, dignities and predictive rules shows how seventeenth-century astrology organised observation, counsel and forecasting; it reveals the logic behind decisions that once guided households, courts and communities. For historians, practitioners and curious readers it sheds light on William Lilly astrology in original form and remains a key item for any traditional astrology collection. The book's practical emphasis makes it valuable to both scholar and practitioner: learn the technique; feel the period. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Equally approachable for casual readers seeking readable historical depth and for collectors of classic literature and specialised occult volumes, this edition returns a foundational manual to the shelf, where it can be read, studied and used by a new generation of astrologers and admirers of early modern thought. A graceful bridge between past and present.
