Now in its third year of publication, and going from strength to strength, astrologers throughout the world are turning to The Traditional Astrologer as an essential reference for techniques and historical biographies. The issues link together, building-up into an encyclopaedic collection and allowing the serialisation of major works and text-books from the past. In each issue we feature the life and work of a notable historical astrologer, and take a detailed look at some of the traditional techniques that form the backbone of today's modern practice.
