Publisher's Synopsis
Johann Kepler's book ""Concerning the More Certain Fundamentals of Astrology"" is a comprehensive exploration of the principles and methods of astrology. Written in the early 17th century, this work is a classic in the field of astrology and is still highly regarded by astrologers today. Kepler was a renowned astronomer and mathematician, and his approach to astrology is grounded in scientific principles.The book is divided into three parts. The first part is an introduction to astrology, in which Kepler explains the basic concepts and terminology of the field. He also discusses the relationship between astrology and astronomy, and the importance of observing celestial phenomena in order to make accurate astrological predictions.The second part of the book is a detailed analysis of the astrological houses, which are the twelve divisions of the zodiac that correspond to different areas of life. Kepler explains the meaning and significance of each house, and provides examples of how they are used in astrological charts.The third and final part of the book is a discussion of astrological aspects, which are the angles and relationships between planets in a chart. Kepler explains the different types of aspects and their effects on a person's life, as well as how to interpret them in a chart.Throughout the book, Kepler emphasizes the importance of using astrology as a tool for self-knowledge and personal growth, rather than as a means of predicting the future. He also stresses the need for astrologers to approach their work with humility and a willingness to learn from experience.Overall, ""Concerning the More Certain Fundamentals of Astrology"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in astrology, whether as a practitioner or a student. Kepler's rigorous approach and deep understanding of the subject make this book a timeless classic in the field.1942.
