This is a revised and expanded edition uniting both volumes of the “Mysteries of Medieval Astrology”.
Astrology was always meant to be a powerful predictive tool. Still, in recent years, it has drifted towards pseudo-psychological interpretations. Many modern astrologers have become so enamored with trendy esoteric beliefs that they’ve lost sight of astrology’s true potential for precise predictions. It’s time to reclaim astrology’s original purpose—and this book will show you how.
This comprehensive textbook takes you on a step-by-step journey from beginner to expert in predictive astrology. Each chapter is meticulously crafted to progressively build your skills, ensuring you gain a deep and practical understanding of making verifiable and accurate forecasts. You will learn to confidently predict exact dates and details of events using time-tested techniques from Renaissance astrology.

A deep dive into the complexities of mediaeval astrology and its relevance to present day predictions comes in a revised edition of Alexey Borealis’ two volumes of the “Mysteries of Medieval Astrology” merged into one comprehensive Predictive Astrology Textbook. For anyone keen to expand their understanding of horary as well as natal astrology, it is a rewarding read.
The author’s dedicated aim is to resurrect astrology as a predictive discipline in the face of what he sees as its modern role as a ’pseudo-psychological science.’
Alexey Borealis, with a background in mathematics, physics and astrophysics, understandably has a focus on precision and claims to make horary predictions with near-perfect accuracy and to consistently time the occurrence of predicted events within days, and sometimes within hours. In the course of his studies he found the writings of the 17th century French astrologer, J.B. Morin de Villefranche his guiding star when answering two fundamental questions: What can the native expect during the life the chart represents? And when will events occur?
‘Morinus wrote that a person can principally influence any aspect of their life, except for choosing parents and siblings. However, it’s challenging for a person to resist their inner nature.’
Borealis: ‘My assumption is the stars, to some extent, imprint a person’s destiny in the brain’s neural network. Psychologists would agree that a person can change many aspects of their stereotypical behavior, but not everything. Some deep configurations of neurons are so stable that it is nearly impossible to alter them in adulthood.’
Horary astrology is not my area but one reviewer writes: “The book – a methodical, well-structured guide to horary astrology. Each chapter is thoughtfully designed to build upon the last, progressively deepening the reader’s understanding and practical skill. What helps sets this work apart from others is the inclusion of exercises and “homework” at the end of each chapter—complete with answers and chart analysis — which transforms passive reading into active learning.”
This is a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to the knotty problem of prediction which for those who wish to expand their technical knowledge will be an invaluable addition to their astro-library.

Alexey’s Predictive Astrology Textbook is a breath of fresh air in a field that, as the author himself notes, has in recent years become diluted with pseudo-psychological jargon and trendy esotericism.
Unlike many “how-to” manuals that begin with setting out the symbols and signs and their potential meanings, Alexey starts with a compelling look at neuroscience—specifically, how a newborn’s neural network experiences a brief, but critical postnatal spark, during which the planetary configuration at
birth is imprinted on the brain.
The book then transitions into a methodical, well-structured guide to horary astrology. Each chapter is thoughtfully designed to build upon the last, progressively deepening the reader’s understanding and practical skill. What helps sets this work apart from others is the inclusion of exercises and
“homework” at the end of each chapter—complete with answers and chart analysis—which transforms passive reading into active learning. Even as someone who has studied horary astrology over three decades, I found Alexey’s approach stimulating.
This book is now on my students’ list of must-have
manuals.
The chapter on natal astrology is a worthy successor that boldly confronts a controversial topic in modern astrology: the very concept of prediction. In a time when the word “prediction” can send some contemporary astrologers into a panic, Alexey offers a clear and scientifically grounded method for forecasting using Primary Directions. For anyone
serious about astrology—particularly horary and predictive techniques—Predictive Astrology Textbook is a groundbreaking work. Alexey doesn’t just teach you about astrology; he teaches you how to do it well. And perhaps most importantly, he restores a level of clarity, precision, and respect to a discipline too often lost in abstraction.”
