The Real Astrology

John Frawley

In The Real Astrology, John Frawley provides a searching - and often hilarious - critique of modern astrology, and a detailed introduction to all the main branches of the traditional craft. Sweeping away the misconceptions of both modern astrologers and sceptics, a clear exposition of the cosmological background explains how and why traditional astrology works. This leads to a step-by-step guide to method, accessible to those with no prior knowledge of the subject, yet sufficiently thorough to serve as a vade mecum for the student or practitioner.
