The Influence of the Stars: A book of old world lore

Book excerpt: This book is a monograph on astrology, containing the results of years of research. Among all disciplines that have attracted the attention of the world at any time, there is no one older than astrology. But until recently, this generation never seemed to care about the basis for this belief to be supported for so many years. In the past ten years—perhaps as a response to our long-repressed realism—a new interest in these old-world beliefs has emerged, and this book was written to satisfy this interest.
