Although designed for those beginning their study of astrology, even advanced students will find this text an invaluable reference tool. The nature and meaning of the Zodiacal Signs, the Planets, the Mundane Houses of the horoscope and Planetary Aspects are all thoroughly explained. Because an astrological chart of birth accurately maps the structure of the soul and its experiences up to the time of birth, of great interest is the mission of the soul, the purpose for which it was brought into existence, the manner in which it makes progress and its future destiny. These subjects are fully explained in conjunction with the law of correspondences which shows the relationship of the individual to the cosmos. Finally, because sincere students are constantly confronted with questionable metaphysical speculation regarding such matters, two chapters are dedicated to the presentation of facts and fancies about human reincarnation. This volume is one of the 21-volume Brotherhood of Light series on the Hermetic Sciences. Written for the Brotherhood of Light by C. C. Zain, and published by its successor organization, The Church of Light, these books form the foundation for a complete course of study. They are designed to assist the aspiring individual in the quest for knowledge and the understanding of one`s physical, mental and spiritual nature.
