The Little Book of Traditional Astrology

Two thousand years of astrological wisdom, distilled into a working handbook.
 
 The Little Book of Traditional Astrology is a complete, practical guide to the classical method — the way
 astrology was practiced for centuries before the modern psychological turn. Built around the seven classical
 planets — the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn — this book walks you through how the
 ancients read signs, houses, and aspects to deliver clear, concrete answers to real questions.
 
 Inside, you'll find:           
 
 • The essential dignities — domicile, exaltation, triplicity, term, and face — and how each one tells you
 whether a planet is strong, weak, or working against itself.
 • The seven classical planets through every sign and house, with both natal and event-chart applications.
 • Aspect theory in the traditional mode: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, oppositions — and the
 antiscia and contrantiscia the moderns left behind.
 • Reception, perfection, and the lost art of reading whether a chart's question can actually be answered.
 • A reading method that doesn't ask you to project your psychology onto the chart — only to read what's there.
 
 Whether you're new to astrology and want the classical foundations before the modern overlays muddy them, or
 you've been working with modern astrology for years and feel something is missing — this book is for you. It is
  the handbook the traditional astrologers wrote for themselves and that the modern student rarely gets to read.
