Luna: The Astrological Moon
by Paul F. Newman
Whether as muse, silver goddess, nourishing mother, priestess, maid, siren or witch, the influence of the Moon on our personality and perception is one of the least understood factors in our daily lives. Luna has fascinated, inspired, and frightened us since the dawn of human history yet She of the Three Faces is the clue to our most emotional and instinctive selves. This new work by Paul F. Newman probes the subtle meanings of habit and the irrational that the astrological Moon conveys and how we can comprehend it and make use of it for our benefi t and security. The triple aspect of Luna is treated as paramount with examples of the effect of New Moon, Full Moon and Old Moon in the monthly round. There is also a new way of grasping the consequence of New and Full Moons according to their declinational hemisphere, and the difference between summer and winter moons. While all computational aspects of the Moon are covered (phases, cycles, moon mansions, progressed moons, magic squares etc.) along with the meaning of how these things affect us, it is the poetic side of Luna that equally informs our approach. A substantial part of the book also covers the Black Moon Lilith, (the Moon at apogee), with new insights into this lady of noire and her astrological resonance. From the fall of dew to the markings on a cheetah’s eyes, there is more to the Moon than we know…

The Tapestry of Planetary Phases
by Christina Rose
While referencing the seminal work of Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985) Tapestry presents an entirely fresh exposition of the Lunation Cycle through its eight main phases, drawing upon the reality of people’s experiences.
The phases are brought strikingly to life as a unique set of identifiable threads which show us a meaningful connection between planets (whether they are in aspect or not) and throw into sharp relief awarenesses of ourselves which the conventional chart may not readily yield
The author then extends the Cycle into several planetary-pairs beyond Sun/Moon (namely Saturn/Moon, Jupiter/Mercury, Mars/Venus and Saturn/Jupiter) and provides a complete set of guideline delineations for each in clear, practical and non-theoretical terms. She also advances an innovative coverage of the aspects as high points of energy within the phases and specific focus on the role of the Moon before and after birth.
Suitable for the newer student and seasoned professional alike, this landmark book deepens the discovery of our inner nature and stands as a clear voice for astrology’s role in the evolution of human understanding.

The Spirit of Numbers:
A New Exploration of Harmonic Astrology
by David Hamblin
Fans of harmonic astrology will love this new book from David Hamblin (Harmonic Charts, Aquarian Press 1983). In this latest groundbreaking and thought-provoking book he explores the astrological meaning of all the prime numbers up to 31. The charts of many famous people - from saints to murderers - are used to demonstrate that each number has its own distinctive quality, or spiritual essence, that affects the relationship between the planets in the chart. This fascinating book will transform chart interpretation and cause us to ponder the wider implications for the way in which we live our lives.
"This book builds on David's pioneering work in harmonics, and further develops the themes presented in his groundbreaking Harmonic Charts, which inspired my own interest and made the subject accessible to a new generation of astrologers. If we genuinely believe that the chart mirrors our journey through life then we need to look more closely at what may be held within precise patterns that are often overlooked. In exploring the continuous interplay of planetary relationships David brings his understanding of number symbolism to a whole range of aspects, offering insights informed by spiritual, poetic and mathematic disciplines. His research into the significance of Number extends the work of Addey and Harvey and confirms his position as one of the key exponents of harmonic astrology." Mike Harding)

Pluto Volume I
- The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul

Jeff Wolf Green’s writing embodies everything you would expect from Pluto; intense, powerful, riveting, transformative and penetrating. A book that satiates both the desire for knowledge and the deep yearning for true understanding is a rare find indeed, and just as profound as the information included here, is the deep intuitive awakening it will bring to your own soul.

Essays on Evolutionary Astrology
- The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul
Ed by Deva Green
When Jeffrey Wolf Green retired and went into seclusion he left his daughter Deva with everything that he had ever written which included drafts of various manuscripts which he had intended to publish at various points. This also included every audio tape, video, dvd, and transcript of his lectures delivered over a lengthy career. He also gave Deva his business and asked her to carry on with it. This book reflects her desire to continue to disseminate his work as widely as possible. In Essays on Evolutionary Astrology: The Evolutionary Journey of The Soul there is a combination of transcribed lectures with parts of various manuscripts, most of which have never been in print. Anyone interested in Evolutionary Astrology will want this to complete their collection of Jeffrey Green's teaching. Pluto Volume 1 - Evolutionary Journey of the Soul and Pluto Volume II - The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul through Relationships are also now published by The Wessex Astrologer.

Planetary Strength - A Commentary on Morinus
by Bob Makransky
An essential contribution to natal horoscope interpretation. Taking as its point of departure Astrologia Gallica by Jean Baptiste Morin de Villefranche (1583 - 1656), Planetary Strength compares and contrasts the differences between the strengths conferred upon planets by virtue of their sign placements (celestial state); house placements (terrestrial state); and aspects (aspectual state). The strength factors of retrogradation / station, synodic phase, and conjunction with fixed stars are also explained and interpreted. A detailed system of keywords is augmented by insightful “cookbook” interpretations for each and every planetary combination. The depth and quality of the analysis – as well as the hundreds of practical examples and tips – make Planetary Strength an indispensable reference work which both neophyte and experienced practitioners will consult every time they read a horoscope.

Nativity of the Late King Charles
by John Gadbury
The Nativity of the Late King Charles, written by the astrologer John Gadbury only ten years after the King’s execution in 1649 and towards the end of England’s only time as a republic, is a fascinating glimpse not only into the history of a divided and revolutionary era but also in the manner that a 17th century astrologer set about his craft.
Walking the fine diplomatic line between presenting Charles I as neither tyrant nor martyr, Gadbury addresses his astrology-versed readers in the delightfully humble yet florid language of his day. Constantly begging our forgiveness for his presumption in examining the horoscopes of the illustrious, he doesn’t shirk in delivering a suitably barbed comment when it’s due. Above all it is illuminating to see how the interpretation of an astrological chart has changed so very little since 1659.
The Restoration was just around the corner with its diarists, its flamboyant masques, its fashions, its coffee-shops and its witch hunts. The life of an astrologer was sometimes no less precarious and although this would be the last great public flowering of the art it is instructive to read how Gadbury is moved to defend astrology against the charlatans who debased it and the growing scientific tide that would soon fatally threaten it.
Via John Gadbury, humanity, history and astrology have spanned the centuries to reach us today.

All the Sun Goes Round
by Reina James
This book, a unique marrying together of mythical storytelling and the astrological signs, contains twelve enchanting new tales - each tale exploring the many different characteristics waiting to be recognised within each sign. The land they’re set in is Nowhere in Particular; the time is somewhere between Then and Now; the characters and creatures that inhabit the pages all reflect something of the zodiacal signs they represent. And because every one of us is capable of achieving wonders and being disagreeable in the very same breath, you won’t find light here without shadow, gain without loss, or being far away without a journey home. Because every birth chart is a combination of signs, there’s likely to be more than one story here that touches you. And you might just get a little more insight into your friends and family, not to mention people you’re finding it hard to get along with! A beautiful and entrancing book which will make an ideal gift. It is suitable for all readers, young and old, whether astrological by nature or not - the stories cannot fail to delight and entertain..

The Book of Why -
Understanding Your Soul's Path
by Judy Hall
Over thirty five years of exploring past lives have convinced Judy Hall that we are not victims of circumstance, nor are we solely a product of karmic consequences. We are all following a soulplan which may be strewn with obstacles but which will ultimately lead to soul growth. So if you've been asking yourself why certain things have happened to you, the key may lie in other lives or in the space between lives & the interlife.
More than half the world's population believe in karma and reincarnation; that they have lived before, died, and taken on a new body, and that the body and the life they lead has been created by their previous actions or by the contracts they have made with another soul. However, from interlife exploration, it is clear that there are souls who are still fulfilling a soul contract that is way past its sell-by date. There are also souls who have chosen to undergo a specific life experience not because of their karma but because they want to cultivate their soul or to offer service to humanity. In this wide-ranging book, Judy Hall encompasses the vast kaleidoscope of karma and interlife choices.
The Book of Why explores:
- how the soul reincarnates
- death and the afterlife
- the concept of karma
- moving beyond karma
- soul contracts
- interlife choices
