Book excerpt: This book is the result of research into the original methods and concepts applied to the astrological use of fixed stars. It draws from the Egyptian and early Greek philosophies and links their techniques to the myths that surround particular stars or constellations. This combination allows astrologers to reconnect with these older procedures and then apply the original myths or concepts to modern charts. In doing so this book opens a doorway into the field of fixed stars, where a major star in a person's chart indicates the stage of life in which it is active, via the Egyptian and Greek methods. It can also indicate the person's life journey via the mythology it represents. For the first time, this book offers astrologers: -- Paran Maps and Star Phases for over 60 stars; -- New insights into the natal use of fixed stars, as well as their use in mundane astrology; -- Extensive appendices of Heliacal Rising and Acronychal Setting graphs and tables so that, for any given location, the dates of these risings and settings can be found; -- A listing of 176 stars with their 21st century Ptolemaic precessed positions versus their commonly-considered positions based on Ulugh Beg's methods. Most of all this book offers a totally new approach to the role of fixed stars in astrology by revisiting the ancient methods.
