Real Life Astrology The Cross Of Matter

The Ascendant. The Descendant. The Midheaven. The Nadir. The angles of your birth chart represent the points where the energies of the planets make contact with reality in the most tangible sense - and that's because of their associations with the most important things in your life - your family, your partner and your career and - most of all - yourself. All of those things are the most important factors in determining your sense of who you are. The lines that connect those points form a cross known as the 'Cross of Matter' and it symbolises the current incarnation of your spirit on this earth. In astrology, the Cross of Matter is important because it provides the foundation for accurate natal chart interpretation. If you want to know how to deal with the realities of your existence and keep things held together, the Cross of Matter will tell you everything you need to know. In this book, Sara Shipman explains what the Cross of Matter represents in everyday terms, and she shows you how to interpret your cardinal points - the Ascendant (AC), Descendant (DC), Midheaven (MC) and Nadir (IC) in ways that are relevant to everyday, lived experience. This book includes: A full analysis of the Ascendant-Descendant axis by sign. A full analysis of the Midheaven-Nadir axis by sign. A full analysis of planetary aspects to each cardinal point.

To the uninitiated, the science or art of Astrology appears complicated and its study too intricate to be followed or understood easily; this notion, however, is erroneous and is mainly caused by confusion of thought and the misconceptions which bias or prejudice has introduced into the subject.-from "Chapter 1: The Simplicity of Astrology"Some consider him the father of modern astrology, for in the early 20th century, prominent British astrology Alan Leo opened up the secrets of divination by the stars to the general public with his line of "Modern Astrology" manuals, a popular series of books that set off a craze for horoscopes that continues to this day. In this 1914 guide, Leo explains, in easy-to-understand language, the basic symbology that underlies the reading of the zodiac: the many aspects of the circle that can represent the solar system, the sun, and the moon; the cross, expressing the creative power of life and the physical body; the basic signs that signify each of the houses of the zodiac and each of the planets and what they metaphorically denote, and more. This is an invaluable resource for modern astrology buffs and those interested in the history of the paranormal.British astrologer WILLIAM FREDERICK ALLAN (1860-1917), a.k.a. Alan Leo, published Astrologer's Magazine as well as a line of astrological materials; he founded the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical Society in 1915.

This book brings to life a previously understated, yet crucial component of chart interpretation: the astrological crosses (the cardinal, fixed, and mutable aspects of the signs of the zodiac), or the modes or quadruplicities, as they have been more commonly known. The crosses are so important to chart interpretation that you will wonder how you were able to complete an astrological analysis without them. Astrological Crosses explores the strengths, qualities and unique challenges of each cross, using real-life examples from the author's consulting practice. Planetary configurations and transits will take on a whole new meaning as you incorporate the crosses in your interpretations. Whether a beginner or a veteran in the world of astrology, your perception of the signs will undoubtedly be enriched. Previously published as "Astrological Crosses in Relationships" this edition contains essentially the same content, with a new layout.

In this first of three volumes, the basic building blocks of astrological language are presented, not in the dry, 'cookbook' manner which mars so many astrology texts, but in the lively and relaxed format of the classroom. Questions from students punctuate the teaching, making the material accessible, fluent and immediately applicable to everyday life.
