Astrology, History and Apocalypse
Summary:

Nicholas Campion.

Based on seminars delivered for the Centre for Psychological Astrology in 1992 and 1996, this book gives an overview of the history of western astrology and beliefs about the apocalypse and the Age of Aquarius. Campion's argument is that such notions are essentially myths, but that we need to either understand them or be controlled by them.

The New Astrology : The Art and Science of the Stars
Summary:

Nicholas Campion, Steve Eddy

Do not be misled by the title. There is nothing 'new' in this book and it is not only about astrology. But the publishers rejected all our other ideas for titles. The book is really about the stories we tell about the sky. From creation myths to modern cosmology, astrology and science fiction, the book gathers together facts, theories and fictions about the stars from all cultures and times, with colour illustrations throughout. The New Astrology was published in 1999 by Bloomsbury in the UK and Trafalgar Square in the USA.

The Book of World Horoscopes
Summary:

by Nick Campion

In Hellenistic astrology, monarchs might 'elect' a 'katarche', select a suitable moment to begin their rule. Or astrologers might retrospectively analyse the 'katarche', the inception of a new historical enterprise. This book is a collection of such moments for every country in the modern world. The introduction raises the philosophical issue, inherent in astrological technique but rarely dealt with in debate, as to whether astrology genuinely insists that the time at which an event takes place is relevant to the astrological analysis of that event.

The Book of World Horoscopes can be ordered through any good bookshop or direct from the Wessex Astrologer.

Foreign language editions: German, Astrodata, Switzerland 1990; Russian, League of Independent Astrologers, Russia, 1997; Serb, Astro.Lab, Yugoslavia, 2002.
