Description:

Joseph Blagrave's Introduction to Astrology was first published in 1682. It is an excellent introduction to the basics of traditional astrology and has a useful and complete section on horary astrology. Its most important feature, however, is a fascinating section on electional astrology with much new and exciting material. Blagrave explains, for example, how to fit the chart to a particular person, in order to properly elect an auspicious time to assist or influence them. Blagrave also deals with the rectification of natal charts using primary directions and with solar revolutions and transits. 329 pages of original material in 174 facing pages. Facsimile of the original 1682 edition.
