This is the story of Sun sign astrology. The sort of astrology that makes up horoscope columns and leads to people believing that there are twelve types of people, described by their zodiac signs.
Plenty of histories of astrology detail thousands of years of astrological practice and theory, highlighting famous practitioners, placing them in their historical context and describing their techniques. They rarely mention Sun sign astrology, which has its own exciting history. This book takes a different approach.
In the West, popular and mass market astrology is Sun sign astrology, and it goes back a lot further than most people realise. This is the true story of Sun sign astrology.
Past horoscope columnist for 'Company' and 'Bliss' magazines amongst others, Kim Farnell was President of the Astrological Lodge of London for twelve years. She holds a Diploma from the Faculty of Astrological Studies and an MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology. Kim's primary interest is the history of astrology and the occult, particularly in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She works as a freelance writer and editor and is the author of several books, including biographies of the astrologer Alan Leo and the palmist Cheiro. Kim is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Wales, Trinity St David about the origins of the horoscope column and its relationship to British women's magazines.
