Nativity of the Late King Charles REDUCED TO CLEAR

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, this 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. Above all it is illuminating to see how the interpretation of an astrological chart has changed so very little since 1659.
