Announcement of Publication: Foundations of Traditional Natal Astrology
I am pleased to announce the publication of my new book, Foundations of Traditional Natal Astrology: A Practical Guide to Birth Chart Interpretation. This work presents a structured and disciplined introduction to the principles of natal astrology as transmitted through the classical Western tradition. It is written for students seeking clarity, coherence, and sound method in the interpretation of birth charts.
The book guides readers through the essential structural components of natal delineation. Each chapter addresses a fundamental element of chart judgment, including signs, planets, houses, rulers, and aspects, and demonstrates how these symbols operate together within an integrated interpretive framework. Emphasis is placed on practical application. The interpretive approach adopted in this work prioritizes judgment grounded in traditional symbolism. Rather than emphasizing psychological astrology, the focus remains on the assessment of concrete conditions and observable manifestations in the life of the native. Particular attention is given to planetary condition, rulership, and the principles of synthesis that allow multiple chart factors to be weighed coherently.
Real-life chart examples illustrate how planetary configurations manifest in lived experience. Through these examples, readers observe the consistent operation of astrological principles across different charts and learn how reliable methods lead to clear and grounded judgment in traditional practice.
Foundations of Traditional Natal Astrology is intended for those seeking a disciplined foundation in traditional natal astrology, as well as for experienced practitioners refining their judgment. It may be used for systematic study or consulted as a reference in ongoing practice. In either case, the book aims to cultivate coherent chart reading and disciplined judgment rooted in enduring principles.
The book is now available for purchase on Amazon (Paperback).
