World Astrology by Peter Marshall
World Astrology : The Astrologer’s Quest to understand the human character
World Astrology travels through ancient times, to the origins of modern astrology. Rome, India, Greece and Mesopotamia. Each of these civilisations had systems to read the stars. The discovery of a 4th Century Chinese star chart illustrates its ancient roots. Peter Marshall examines both Eastern and Western astrology. He explains how each culture developed a unique way of reading the stars, while establishing common ground.
We explore the interplay between the the astrological implications of Plato’s philosophy to Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblios to The Book of Hours and the Chinese I Ching and Feng Shui. Peter Marshall analyses the different astrological methods and beliefs to build a picture of a much misunderstood art, along the way asking serious questions about the nature of astrology. How does astrology relate to the modern world? Is astrology superstition? Is ther any scientific basis ? Does it deny free will? Is your fate in your own hands?
Researched with brilliance and utterly spell binding, World Astrology is the definitive history of a discipline that has drawn humanity for millennia.
