Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune (In Light of Shadows, Band 1) Paperback – 10 Feb. 2017
Enhance your purchase
Hellenistic astrology is a tradition of horoscopic astrology that was practiced in the Mediterranean region from approximately the first century BCE until the seventh century CE. It is the source of many of the modern traditions of astrology that still flourish around the world today, although it is only recently that many of the surviving texts of this tradition have become available again for astrologers to study.
Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune is one of the first comprehensive surveys of this tradition in modern times. The book covers the history, philosophy, and techniques of ancient astrology, with a special focus on demonstrating how many of the fundamental concepts underlying the practice of western astrology originated during the Hellenistic period.

Der Autor ist präzise in der Formulierung und vermittelt eine (natürlich bis zu einem gewissen Grad rekonstruierte) klassisch-traditionelle Astrologie auf äußerst verständliche Weise. Es ist nicht unbedingt ein Buch für Anfänger, aber mit ein wenig Vorkenntnis und der Überwindung der Sprachhürde profitiert jeder Astrologe in unseren Breitengraden von diesem Werk, wenn er sich von bestimmten Voraussetzungen (Ganzzeichenhäuser, Prognose) nicht abschrecken lässt. Ich denke, Astrologen, die zB Van Slooten oder Gil Brand schätzen, werden auch an Chris' Werk Gefallen finden. Für mich persönlich sind die unterschiedlichen Richungen in der Astrologie im Übrigen kein Widerspruch, es ist meistens kein "Entweder-Oder", sondern ein "Sowohl-als auch".

What I missed was maybe a more textbook-like presentation instead of a historical analysis. The delineations are not complete like modern textbooks. But what I learned was extremely valuable.
I loved that Mr. Brennan recovers techniques which were lost in Western astrological practice over the centuries. And it was very enjoyable that he demonstrates them using modern birth charts.
I can only recommend it to everybody into traditional astrology, and also to any serious modern astrologer who wants to know the reasons behind the techniques and the philosophy.



From one of the best if you want real ancient astrology.
