What is Cosmopsychology?"It's just a word that suggests we're all subject to a Cosmic Pattern that operates in us - and we need to know about it and deal with it psychologically. Maybe I'm saying there's a kind of 'street psychology' for dealing with the nature you inherited from your birth chart."That's the author's explanation for an approach to astrology that tries to bring some of the most complex ideas in the field into the common language.And that's what the pages of this book are about - an explanation of the false ideas that some people have about astrology and what it is, and pates of interpretations of the planetary combinations that were present at your birth. How they make you a personality. How they give you an identity. How the give you a sexual and creative nature. How they tend to create in you common sense or the ability to handle practicality. How they set you up for communicating with other people. And, finally, how they structure you to fit into a generation of people trying to find their own individuality in ways that are not common.Cosmopsychology - as presented here - is a newer and simpler approach to some of the more complex ideas that a person will come across when beginning to get into astrology seriously. It tries to deal with the chart in human terms, rather than technical jargon.

Keywords are essential for translating the meaning behind astrological symbols into everyday language. This book gives the best collection of keywords for the astrological Signs of the Zodiac found anywhere. Here you will find in-depth collections of the vocabulary needed to translate astrological symbols into the language of life. When seeking to learn and expand communication skills a Dictionary and a Thesaurus are essential. This book is both a Dictionary and a Thesaurus for the Signs of the Zodiac. Michael Munkasey has gone through many thousands of common American English words, selected those that best describe a particular Astrological Sign, and then arranged those words in an easy to use way. A common failing for people exposed to Astrology is to learn just a few basic meanings for an astrological symbol. A beginning student may feel comfortable with four or five words (keywords) associated with an astrological symbol - say the sign of Virgo. Using those four or five words and training the mind to be flexible, a student can give a passable interpretation for a meaning of Virgo. But, what if the student can draw from not just four or five Virgo words, but eight or ten? Access to an increased vocabulary allows richness and depth. How about then fifteen or sixteen words for Virgo to draw from? The ability to convey meaning increases with a good knowledge of keywords. This book offers a thorough keyword source for each of the Signs of the Zodiac. Use this book to expand your astrological vocabulary. Use this book as a reference for where particular words belong when describing a Sign of the Zodiac.

Alan Richard-Wheatcroft's long association with astrology began during his first Saturn return. Alan now consults as a medical and as an evolutionary astrologer. He is also a psychotherapist and a spiritual healer, and as an experienced speaker, Alan's talks accentuate astrology primarily as a requisite tool for physical, psychological, and spiritual growth. It was during the onset of Alan's second Saturn return that work began on this compelling publication.

House Keywords and More... Keywords are crucial to accurate chart interpretation. They are how an astrologer can translate the astrological symbols into everyday lanauge. As an example, the fifth house represents children, creativity, romance, and sex. Michael Munkasey compiled this extensive, 400-page book on house keywords during decades of astrological practice. Keywords are listed by individual house, in alphabetic order, and by house category. Introductory material explains how to use keywords and astrological grammar, how to translate between astrology and English, the role of quandrants and hemispheres, and how to select a house system. Keywords are presented in many categories: horary, electional, things, places, psychological qualities, occupations, family members, mundane ideas, body parts, afflictions, diseases, colors, gems, minerals, animals, mythical figures, parts of an organization, parts of a ship, industry categories, health and fitness, parts of a house, and parts of an automobile. All of these make it easy to find the optimum keywords for chart intepretation.

Barbara Ybarra learned a process of deciphering psychological development in the horoscope from Noel Tyl, who has perfected a system of synthesis using both traditional and modern techniques. As a result, Barbara uses astrology to help people view their lives more proactively and to understand how they are influenced from their early home. Doing this, we can see the pattern of behavior that reinforces our behavior every day.Each of us looks for principles that guide us through life, whatever our spiritual inclination-we need to "feel" what guides us. When we experience deep emotions and are aware of them, we can then tie them to beliefs about where the emotions come from and why we feel them. In turn we can share these when someone asks what we think.To illustrate her approach, Barbara uses the example of Sun square Saturn, which some astrologers would define as perpetual depression, and writes, "That is not creative thinking. Our lives are given to us for soul growth!" This is the approach Barbara takes in Emotional Dimensions of Astrology, while encouraging astrologers and students to think about the importance of feelings in life and to consider what emotions do for us.This book is insightful, spiritual, esoteric, and forward-thinking, and through it Barbara encourages everyone to seek their highest spiritual expression, which is the best gift we can give ourselves.

There was a time when declinations (parallels and contraparallels) were used in delineation as a matter of course. Interest in declinations waned as other techniques, theories, and chart factors came into popularity. Kt Boehrer made it her mission to introduce as many people as possible to the insightful information that can be revealed through the use of declinations.Included in this book is extensive information on both the astronomy and astrology of declinations, along with numerous examples that reveal information that would have been unavailable without the use of declinations. Thorough examples include one of child abuse and another for child birth.Possibly the most important material included in this book is that of out-of-bounds planets, especially the Moon. Specific guidelines and rules for interpretation of the out-of-bounds Moon add considerable depth of meaning to that often overlooked factor in the chart.

This branch of astrology is popular with students and professionals alike. There is certainly no other branch of astrology that is as practical as horary. We all have everyday problems that need solving in a workable, scientific way. When the tried and tested rules given in this book are used, any question can be answered with satisfaction and accuracy. However, all the rules in the world are useless without study and application. From research and application we gain experience and knowledge.This book is also practical, using and presenting an organized approach that is the ideal asset when answering questions about any life activity or event. The first part of the book outlines the basics, the rules of horary astrology from the zodiac to the aspects to the colors and directions. In all, there are more than 20 factors that are explained and that form the basis of reading any horary chart.The second part of the book focuses on the houses and questions pertaining to each one, from the first to the twelth. Included are sections on length of life and nature of death, journeys, finances, property, family, childbirth, gambling, health, pets, marriage, lawsuits, legacies, insurance, career and honor, friendship, open and hidden enemies, and many more-in all, more than 120 specific questions.
