About this audiobook
Astrology: How to Make and Read Your Own Horoscope is a practical manual of natal astrology, guiding readers through the construction of a horoscope and the interpretation of planetary positions, houses, aspects, and zodiacal signs. Written in a lucid, instructional style, it belongs to the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century revival of occult and esoteric studies, when astrology was being systematized for a modern reading public. The book combines technical calculation with symbolic interpretation, presenting astrology as both disciplined craft and intuitive art. Sepharial, the pen name of Walter Gorn Old, was one of the most influential popularizers of astrology and occult thought in Edwardian Britain. Associated with Theosophical circles and deeply interested in numerology, clairvoyance, and esoteric cosmology, he wrote for readers seeking access to hidden systems of knowledge without abandoning rational method. His pedagogical emphasis in this volume reflects a desire to democratize astrological practice, making the horoscope a tool of self-knowledge. This book is recommended for readers interested in traditional astrology, occult history, and the intellectual culture of modern esotericism. Beginners will value its structured instruction, while scholars and seasoned practitioners will find it a revealing document of astrology's modern revival.
