From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks. As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in TASCHEN's Library of Esoterica series, astronomy and astrology were once sister sciences: the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid at Giza was built to align with the constellations, Persia raced with Greece to erect the first observatory, and even Galileo cast horoscopes for the Medicis. But with the Enlightenment and the birth of exact science, the practice moved to places where mystery was still permitted, inspiring literature, art, and psychology, and influenced artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Byron, and Blake. Later movements like the Theosophists and the New Agers, would thrust the practice into the mainstream.
Edited by Jessica Hundley, this vibrant visual history of Western astrology is the first ever compendium of its kind, exploring the symbolic meaning behind more than 500 images, from cave paintings and illuminated manuscripts to contemporary art from across the globe. Artwork by the likes of Leonora Carrington, Alphonse Mucha, and Hilma af Klint are sequenced to mirror the spin of the planets and the wheel of the zodiac, alongside quotations from Kepler, Copernicus, and Campbell. With a foreword by legendary astrologer Susan Miller and excerpts from new interviews with present-day astrologers like Jessica Lanydoo and Pam Younghans, Astrology celebrates the stars and their mysterious influence on our everyday lives.
About the series
Library of Esoterica explores how centuries of artists have given form to mysticism, translating the arcane and the obscure into enduring, visionary works of art. Each subject is showcased through both modern and archival imagery culled from private collectors, libraries, and museums around the globe. The result forms an inclusive visual history, a study of our primal pull to dream and nightmare, and the creative ways we strive to connect to the divine.

- It features 2 sets of 12 hand drawn illustrations - inkling girls in zodiac domains of their astrological signs - by artist Tanya Bond . Being single sided helps to make sure that the medium doesn't bleed onto the next design through the page. However I still recommend using a sheet of card under the page when you are colouring.
- Please note that createspace paper is medium to thin. If paper thickness is important to you please seek for artist edition of this book on etsy (which is more expensive).
- In this book you will find two sets of 12 signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each portrait is accompanied by flora and fauna associated with the sign it represents. Symbols of ruling planets of the astrological signs are hidden within inklings' jewels, tattoos or costumes. You can see all the signs on Tanya's Facebook page
- I recommend using prismacolor colored pencils, polychromos coloured pencils, Marco Raffine, Inktense. Use promarkers/copics/sharpies and other markers just for small touch ups as well as gel pens (use sheet of card under the page you are colouring)

Описание: Surveys the contributions of Islamic astronomers and mathematicians to the development of astronomy and astrology
It was the astronomers and mathematicians of the Islamic world who provided the theories and concepts that paved the way from the geocentric theories of Claudius Ptolemy in the second century AD to the heliocentric breakthroughs of Nicholas Copernicus and Johannes Kepler in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Algebra, the Arabic numeral system, and trigonometry: all these and more originated in the Muslim East and undergirded an increasingly accurate and sophisticated understanding of the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets. This nontechnical overview of the Islamic advances in the heavenly sciences allows the general reader to appreciate (for the first time) the absolutely crucial role that Muslim scientists played in the overall development of astronomy and astrology in the Eurasian world.

Описание: The book Astro4U: An Introduction to the Science of the Cosmos excites students about the grandeur of astronomy and how the universe functions. Filled with vibrant figures and informative tables that support the written text, the book has a fresh, casual, student-friendly tone that dramatically increases interest in the material while also making it more accessible.The book provides a college-level description of science, with astronomy serving as the vehicle of delivery for displaying the scientific model. The content follows a traditional progression, beginning with a study of the sky, followed by discussions of ancient and medieval astronomy, modern scientific practices, and key physical principles. Chapters move through the Solar System, stars, then galaxies, and finally the cosmos as a whole. The book presents astronomy as the story of light and gravity, crucial threads that run through the text. Chapters include Ponder Sections—in-depth, quantitative passages dealing with particular applications of interest such as “space junk”, the solar energy budget, and light travel time. Appendices provide information about physical constants, astronomical symbols, and multiple choice problem sets.Because students often express concern about the math content in astronomy classes, the book begins with a chapter entitled “Astro Maths” that reviews all the mathematical skills and concepts needed to complete the course. This up-front investment increases student confidence, eliminates one of the primary blocks students face, and improves chances for student achievement and success.Astro4U is written for general education survey courses in astronomy that are geared toward non-science majors.

Описание: ZODIAC "It is a broad band or belt in the heavens extending 9 degrees on either side of the ecliptic, and known to the Hindus as Bhachakra or the Circle of Light. It is a circle and as such it knows no beginning or end. In order to measure the distance, an arbitrary point is established, which is called the first point of Aries. The zodiac revolves once in a day on its axis, from east to west."--Dr. B.V. Raman, A Manual of Hindu AstrologySo the Zodiac is an imaginary road in the sky, stretching about 8o north and 9o south of the apparent path of the Sun in the sky, within which the planets move around the Earth, once in a day, from east to west. The zodiac is divided into twelve equal parts called Signs ( Rasis ) (30o x 12 = 360o.). These twelve divisions are called Aries (Mesha), Taurus (Vrisha) etc. Signs of the Zodiac 1. 0o - 30o Aries Mesha Medam 2. 30 - 60 Taurus Vrishabha Edavam 3. 60 - 90 Gemini Mithuna Mithunam 4. 90 - 120 Cancer Kataka Karkatakam 5. 120 - 150 Leo Simha Chingam 6 150 - 180 Virgo Kanya Kanni 7. 180 - 210 Libra Thula Thulam 8. 210 - 240 Scorpio Vrischika Vrischikam 9. 240- 270 Sagittarius Dhanus Dhanu10. 270 - 300 Capricorn Makara Makaram11. 300 - 330 Aquarius Kumbha Kumbham12. 330 - 360 Pisces Meena MeenamThere are two zodiacs: one moving (Tropical) and the other fixed (Sidereal).. In the case of the Tropical Zodiac, each of these signs formerly occupied the similarly named constellations (groups of stars), but now, by precession of the equinoxes, they coincide with the constellations that bears the names of the preceding signs, that is, the constellation Pisces is now in Aries Sign.The zodiac ( rasi chakra ) which reckons the Aries 0o (imaginary starting point of the zodiac) from the equinoctial point and which has precession, is the 'movable', 'tropical' or 'sayana' zodiac. Modern astronomy follows this zodiac.But the zodiac considered in India for astrological purposes is a fixed one. In this case, the first point or 0o is based on a fixed star. In the Chitra paksha ayanamsa, it is a point between Revati and Aswini nakshatras, ie., 180o from Chitra nakshatra. So the zodiac considered in India for astological purposes is 'fixed', 'sidereal' or 'nirayana'.This book contains: 1) Introduction (General information about Indian astrology). 2) Astronomy relevant to Astrology 3) Mathematical Astrology 4) Predictive Astrology, prepared with reference to the original classical texts, Brihat Jataka, Phaladeepika and Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra.
