Clear, rigorous, and unexpectedly humane. William Lilly's An Introduction to Astrology offers a rare combination: an astrological grammar manual that defines the technical language of signs, houses and aspects, and practical tables for calculating nativities that allow a reader to assemble a working natal chart. Part classic astrology guide and part indispensable astrology reference book, it presents natal chart calculation in a straightforward, teachable sequence and lays the foundation for practical horoscope interpretation techniques. Readers learning on their own will find it a robust companion for astrology self-study; beginner astrology students gain direct access to the methods that shaped later practice. The prose is concise and purposeful, turning specialised procedure into a readable craft. Beyond the manual, the volume is a vivid witness to the history of astrology and the wider currents of early modern occult thought. Lilly's systematic register of signs, dignities and predictive rules shows how seventeenth-century astrology organised observation, counsel and forecasting; it reveals the logic behind decisions that once guided households, courts and communities. For historians, practitioners and curious readers it sheds light on William Lilly astrology in original form and remains a key item for any traditional astrology collection. The book's practical emphasis makes it valuable to both scholar and practitioner: learn the technique; feel the period. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Equally approachable for casual readers seeking readable historical depth and for collectors of classic literature and specialised occult volumes, this edition returns a foundational manual to the shelf, where it can be read, studied and used by a new generation of astrologers and admirers of early modern thought. A graceful bridge between past and present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Lilly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9354303900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789354303906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alpha Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.28d","brand":"William Lilly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175573795071,"sku":"9789354303906","price":36.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46c82cca-f71b-4184-8e91-b92a4191e970.jpg?v=1771334565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-astrology-with-william-lilly-9789354303906","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
