Astrology it is a science far more difficult to master than the highest mathematics. Every great astrologer admits man’s free will, though not absolute, and therefore man’s liberty to react against the occult influence of the heavenly bodies upon his destiny. The two prerequisites for proficiency in astrology are the apperception by intuition of the ramifications of Universal Sympathy, and a pure life — physically, morally, and spiritually. Like alchemy, modern astrology is no longer the pure and divine science of the schools of Thoth-Hermes, of the first Egyptian Dynasties. The Kabbalistic Gematria is arithmetical, not geometrical. It is one of the methods for extracting the hidden meaning from letters, words, and sentences. It consists in applying to the letters of a word the sense they bear as numbers, in outward shape as well as in their individual sense. Mathematics is the only exact and infallible science, for it proceeds from universals to particulars. Astrology is a mathematical science, which reveals to us what particular causes will produce what particular combination of effects, and gives us the means of knowing how to guide our future births. As the clock merely indicates, it does not influence the time, so the astrologer cannot shape destiny. While the science of astrology determines the nature of effects, by a knowledge of the law of magnetic affinities and attractions of the planetary bodies, it is the Karma of the individual himself, which places him in a particular magnetic relation. The Great Pyramid of Egypt was an Observatory of Occult Astrognosy. It must have been built at a time when Draconis, the then Polar Star, was at its lower culmination and the Pleiades, Alcyone especially, were on the same meridian above.

The winner of the Man Booker Prize, this "expertly written, perfectly constructed" bestseller (The Guardian) is now a Starz miniseries. It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to stake his claim in New Zealand's booming gold rush. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. Richly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, The Luminaries is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping page-turner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement. It richly confirms that Eleanor Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international literary firmament.

Tapping into the political power of magic and astrology for social, community, and personal transformation. In a cross-cultural approach to understanding astrology as a magical language, Alice Sparkly Kat unmasks the political power of astrology, showing how it can be channeled as a force for collective healing and liberation. Too often, magic and astrology are divorced from their potency and cultural contexts: co-opted by neoliberalism, used as a force of oppression, or distilled beyond recognition into applications that belie their individual and collective power. By looking at the symbolic and etymological histories of the sun, moon, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, we can trace and understand the politics of magic--and challenge our own practices, interrogate our truths, and reshape our institutions to build better frameworks for communities of care. Fearless, radical, and fresh, Sparkly Kat's Postcolonial Astrology ushers in a new wave of astrology revival, refusing to apologize for its magickism and connecting its power to the spirituality and politics we need now. Intersectional, inclusive, and geared towards queer and POC communities, it uses our historical and collective constructs of the planets, sun, and moon to re-chart our subconscious history, redefine the body in the world, and assert our politics of the personal, in astrology and all things.
