The Soul of Astrology

In this book, the last published by the famous English astrologer of the 17th century, William Lilly, under one cover are brought together «146 Considerations» of the outstanding Italian astrologer G. Bonatti (13th century) and the astrological aphorisms of his compatriot, the encyclopedia scholar J. Cardano (16th century). In a concise, aphoristic form, the authors present key knowledge and observations necessary for every astrologer who examines natal and horary charts, calculates elections, predicts political events, and weather changes. The uniqueness of the book lies in the fact that it includes the complete text of the English original from 1886 with a parallel text in Russian, allowing the reader to delve into the subtleties of ancient astrology themselves.

The cover design features an illustration from the first edition of the book «Anima Astrologiae» (London, 1676).

Translation from English by a group of translators: S. Bartenev, V. Bernard, R. Brol (D. Kуталёв), T. Bykova, E. Volokontsev.
