An Introductory Textbook to the New Understanding of an Old Science

John M Addey

By John M Addey

Harmonics in Astrology represents the first major attempt in history to develop a truly coherent model of astrology based on sound philosophical first principles and observational and experimental evidence. As such, this great classic is one of the most important books ever written in the field of astrology and should be read by everyone who seeks to arrive at a deeper understanding of astrological concepts and a truly reasonable basis for their study and practice.

With his penetrating analysis and reconstruction of astrology's fundamental principles, Addey shows in Harmonics in Astrology that, apart from the planetary "gods" themselves, all astrological effects can be understood in terms of Number and Cycle. In so doing he reconnects astrology with its roots in the ancient teaching of Pythagoras and Plato whilst at the same time liberating astrological concepts from the tyranny of dogmatism and unquestioned traditions, providing students and researchers with a new freedom to explore the intimate bonds between heaven and earth.

Whether you are an astrological practitioner, researcher or simply intellectually curious, this beautifully written and inspiring book cannot but stimulate, broaden and deepen your understanding of the relationship between cosmos and psyche. of the relationship between cosmos and psyche.
