Lunar Mansions Guide
Regular price

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 Guide: 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.
Oscar Hofman lives in Gorinchem, The Netherlands, and practises all branches of traditional astrology: medical, natal, electional, horary and mundane. He is the founder of the International School of Classical Astrology offering a full training program in the tradition (horary, electional/natal, medical and mundane) in six languages, followed by students worldwide in more than 30 countries. He travels widely to teach and has clients in many nations around the world. He has written five books on horary practice, medical astrology, fixed stars and lunar mansions, published in six languages. He was the first European astrologer to be translated into Chinese.
He is also seen as one of the world's leading experts in classical medical astrology and in November 2007 his book on traditional medical astrology - the first publication in this field since 1677 - appeared in The Netherlands. It has been translated into Russian, French, English, Greek, Chinese and German.
