Profound, readable, and often hilarious, this book won SPICA?s Award for International Book of the Year, 2001. It offers a detailed introduction to traditional astrology - very different from the diluted art so widely practised today - accessible to the general reader with no prior knowledge of the subject, yet sufficiently thorough to serve as a reference for the student or practitioner. Frawley teaches and practices astrology full time in London and has students on six continents.
