Amazon.com description: Product Description: This revised edition with its additional captions and diagrams, sets out the philosophy of astrology. This tradition dates back to Ur of the Chaldees, the home of Abraham the father of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical line. Applying celestial symbols and archetypal images, the metaphysical background to this ancient form of psychology, human development and cosmic reality fuses the medieval version into a modern comprehension of a profound esoteric system. It is one thing to interpret a birth chart but another to perceive what astrology is really about.
