This is an account of astrological influence on historical theories, and especially on theories of historical cycles and millenarianism from the Middle East to Europe, and from Mesopotamia to the Renaissance, with a final chapter on the legacy of these ideas in more recent times. For many hundreds of years astrology was not a fringe science, but mainstream, and its influence has been enormous.

The Practical Astrologer is the only beginners' astrology book which includes a guide to working with all aspects of western astrology. The guiding principle is that astrology comes in many different forms and is adapted to different technical systems and interpretative models. There is no one single system, only useful models. In addition to the calculation and interpretation of the birth chart, the book includes brief introductions to the use of astrology in making simple forecasts, understanding relationships, healing the body, business, history and politics, gardening, the answering of questions and selecting auspicious moments to begin new enterprises. The Practical Astrologer contains six hundred illustrations, many in full colour.

Astrology and Cosmology in the World’s Religions

When you think of astrology, you may think of the horoscope section in your local paper, or of Nancy Reagan's consultations with an astrologer in the White House in the 1980s. Yet almost every religion uses some form of astrology: some way of thinking about the sun, moon, stars, and planets and how they hold significance for human lives on earth. Astrology and Cosmology in the World’s Religions offers an accessible overview of the astrologies of the world's religions, placing them into context within theories of how the wider universe came into being and operates. Campion traces beliefs about the heavens among peoples ranging from ancient Egypt and China, to Australia and Polynesia, and India and the Islamic world. Addressing each religion in a separate chapter, Campion outlines how, by observing the celestial bodies, people have engaged with the divine, managed the future, and attempted to understand events here on earth. This fascinating text offers a unique way to delve into comparative religions and will also appeal to those intrigued by New Age topics.

Astrology and Popular Religion in the Modern West

This book explores an area of contemporary religion, spirituality and popular culture which has not so far been investigated in depth, the phenomenon of astrology in the modern west. Locating modern astrology historically and sociologically in its religious, New Age and millenarian contexts, Nicholas Campion considers astrology's relation to modernity and draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with leading modern astrologers to present an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the origins and nature of New Age ideology. This book challenges the notion that astrology is either 'marginal' or a feature of postmodernism. Concluding that astrology is more popular than the usual figures suggest, Campion argues that modern astrology is largely shaped by New Age thought, influenced by the European Millenarian tradition, that it can be seen as an heir to classical Gnosticism and is part of the vernacular religion of the modern west.
