Fixed Stars (3rd ed.)

This book is the quintessence of two thousand years of astrological experience, the most comprehensive study of fixed stars and constellations in natal and mundane astrology, in medieval practice, and in astrometeorology. Since its first publication in 1923, it has remained a unique, most cited source of information on fixed stars, a classic of 20th-century astrology. Robson provides the traditional meanings of stars and their influences in conjunction with planets and angles. The edition includes 111 stars and 108 constellations, as well as Arabic, Indian, and Chinese lunar stations and is equipped with convenient and detailed tables. The present edition has been verified against the text from 1923, some chapters have been newly translated, and a detailed alphabetical index has been compiled. Thus, before you is a picture of the starry sky as seen by the master—a foundational fresco freed from later touch-ups and retouches. The book will pleasantly surprise critics of the first edition and will become a magnificent assistant for practicing astrologers.
