Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune
Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune is a survey of the history, philosophy, and techniques of Hellenistic astrology, which is a tradition of horoscopic astrology that was practiced in the Mediterranean region from approximately the first century BCE through the seventh century CE.
Although Hellenistic astrology is the source of many of the modern traditions of astrology that flourish around the world today, it is only recently that many of the surviving texts of this tradition have become available again for astrologers to study.
During the process of recovering this tradition many techniques and concepts that were lost in the transmission of astrology over the past two thousand years have been rediscovered.
The product of over a decade of research, this book provides one of the first comprehensive treatments of ancient astrology in modern times.
