This book will provide you with the long-lost key to the traditional Western lunar mansions, also once known as the Manzils. In The Lunar Mansions Rediscovering the Western Lunar Zodiac, Oscar Hofman retrieves and regenerates this old and important technique which, in Western astrology at least, has become almost obsolete. His investigations were based on the critical evaluation of old texts, and on his extensive knowledge of the fixed stars, their natures and especially their mythological stories. The result of his hard work is demonstrated here in copious case studies, showing that the method is a wonderful tool suitable for use in natal, electional and predictive astrology. The Lunar Mansions Guide makes the perfect companion to Oscar's previous book, Fixed Stars in the Chart,and will be welcomed by seasoned students as well as those who are new to the technique of lunar mansions.
This is a fascinating book introducing Lunar Mansions to Western Astrologers. I really appreciate the way in which Oscar explains everything technical very simply. I especially love the myths linked with the constellations and the way they are in the spotlight. In addition to introducing the Lunar Mansions, this book deepens our understanding of the Spiritual roots of Astrology.
