Produktbeschreibungen
Synopsis
Aleister Crowley, aka "The Beast", was a controversial figure and an almost evangelical proponent of occult studies. One little known fact is that he was the ghostwriter for two of Evangeline Adams' most popular astrology books, which have informed nearly all astrological studies in the 20th century. This book is a reconstruction of the original manuscript submitted by Crowley. His goal was to abandon traditional assumptions, and so he based his findings on actual charts and how they were expressed in people's lives. This new edition should be of great interest to those interested in astrology in general and Crowley in particular.

Einleitungssatz
A PROPER UNDERSTANDING of the planets, and indeed of the universe itself, is only to be obtained by a knowledge of the doctrine of correspondences between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Crowley's Astrology under the guise of Adams
12. Oktober 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This new tome from notorious occultist Crowley was originally two books with Evangeline Adams as its author. According to the introduction by H. Beta, Crowley was in New York for sometime and met with Adams whom they were to write a book on astrology together. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Adams took the material that Crowley wrote, reworked, omitted and added her own material and eventually became an authority on the subject. The two books by Adams, "Your Place in the Sun" and "Your Place Among the Stars" (written 1927 and 1930 respectively) are essentially the works of Aleister Crowley. This edition by Samuel Weiser brings back Crowley's original writings in their original form and in one book. In a similar format as Magick Book 4, 'The General Principles of Astrology' is bound in a nice maroon hardcover cloth book with a sigil embossed on the cloth cover in metallic gold (looks like a modified Mercury symbol). Crowley's writing at many times is elusive even for the most astute occultist, however, as in Magick 4, he is making great efforts to be clear to a larger audience. The text was written in 1915 before the discovery of Pluto, so for some astrologers that may be your only set back.
In my opinion and from what I know of Crowley, the work is largely unfinished, however, what is presented is entirely a workable system. Crowley probably had the least amount of faith in astrology as a science among all the occult arts, but because he was so verse in many subjects, he is not one to let it be unexplored. Astrology seems as vast a subject as Kabbalah, as so much is written about it, that it seems that no one person can legitimately claim authority. My preference is Alan Leo's work even though much of his work is before Pluto as well. Crowley stands as a modern authority on much occult work that this was a book I could trust in giving a clear exposition on the subject.
The book is broken up similarly to the many astrology books out there on the market today. Beginning general aspects of the houses, different signs to be aware of and their meanings and a correspondence with his tarot deck. Then a discourse on the meanings of the planets, rising signs, sun signs with each of their attributes and characteristics. After a large section taken up by each planey in a sign, he ends with 100 or so famous people and their horoscopes. So in my opinion, Crowley could have easily enlarged this already big work (596 pages!). In sum, the book is well presented and will look sharp on any bookshelf, and for any serious astrologer to consider this excellent entry into the large world of the study of the astros.

The General Principles of Astrology by Aleister Crowley and Evangeline adams
9. September 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
An excellent book, though more for the intermediate and advanced astrological student than the beginner. The reason for this is because many of the explanations for basic Astrological information offered here are of a more classical nature than most of the modern "New Age" oriented books. Also of great interest is the collection of natal charts of notable individuals from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. This is because the best way to learn how to read a chart comes from studying charts, and what better way to do that than analyzing the natal map of a famous person whose deeds before the public have revealed much of their personality. The refreshing aspect here is that one will get to see the charts of individuals like Sir Issac Newton, Mozart, and Shelley rather than the likes of Madonna or Britney Spears.
For this reader, a further plus regarding the book is that its author, Aleister Crowley, is revealed not only as the ghost writer for the famous American Astrologer Evangeline Adams, but also for the truly important thinker he was rather than the distorted and dark charlatan he is often portrayed as by those who are ignorant of his serious scholarly work.
All in all I would rate this as an excellent addition to the library of anyone interested in Spirituality, Metaphysics, or the Occult as well as for those who are passionate about Astrology.

Good advanced book on astrology
21. Februar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
First, like all Crowley books, this one starts on about chapter 20. Crowley never addressed beginner issues and initial details. He never was writing to beginners. This book is no exception. Instead he jumps straight to interpretation of some elements of a chart, omits others, and so forth. The book is quite different from many more recently written on the subject, however, and provides a great deal of food for thought.
This book will not teach you how to draw up a birth chart. It will not teach you much about aspects. Crowley assumes you know astrology before turning to his work. Instead he offers a some meaty of theory and some impressive insights into some (narrow) areas of interpretation.
The part of the book I liked the most was the discussion of rising signs. To Crowley, the rising sign was the defining sign of the chart, much more than the sun sign. He spends more time discussing rising signs than most other books do discussing sun signs, and his insight is profound in this area.
One area I would have liked to see a great deal more discussion is in the area of aspects and angles. Crowley seems to have clearly seen these as important. However, we get at best a cursory discussion of aspects, and nothing on angles aside from the ascendant.
This is definitely a book though that will remain in my library.
