Practical Astrology: Techniques to Awaken Your Inner Zodiac Paperback – Illustrated, March 1, 2010

This is an awesome book. Modern astrology bores one with complex procedures and provides essentially zero reasons as to why it is what it is. Not only that, you are left with a sense of being 'cursed' by the zodiac and its convoluted equations which seem meaningful but for no explicable reason. Astrology seems cryptic and even the experts seemed baffled as to why they do what they do and how it is what it is.But this book is different because it combines astrology with theurgy and does so in a way which makes one feel empowered, like they themselves can take part in the grand cosmic plan and their ultimate destiny. It provides extremely profound insights into the inner working of the universe and our place in it, even going into how one can counsel with the archangels themselves in the higher dimensions of nature. Most astrologers leave one with many questions but this isn't like that. It is so rich and powerful, so concise and extraordinary that with true focus and concentration one will undoubtedly extract infinite value from it.This is an extremely powerful book and is completely worth possessing in one's library.

I like to break out this book at the beginning of every sign as to get a refresher course. The exercises really help you to start to see the Microcosm within the Macrocosm of our secret universe. This book practically applied, works!"Frankly, we do not like to spend our lives theorizing; we get to the point. We are tired of so much theory. We are essentially “realistic.” We want deeds, not theories or morbid intellects. We like effective realities. We head towards great realizations.All the spiritualist schools talk to you about supra-sensible worlds, but we go beyond that because we are more practical."

There are two types of knowledge: the eye doctrine and the heart doctrine. The eye doctrine is for those who are satisfied with spiritual theories and the heart doctrine is for authentic initiates. Heart doctrine is knowledge found within. The eye doctrine comes to us through deduction and the heart doctrine through intuition. The eye doctrine is human; it is produced by the intellect. The heart doctrine is divine; it is produced by the Internal Master. This book is esoteric astrology; this will open up the doors of knowledge of the heart. This book on practical magic and esoteric hermetic astrology. These studies are based on light and the heart.

I've only read excerpts since I received the book yesterday, and can already tell you that 'Practical Astrology" is an excellent addition to my home library. The information in the pages is exactly what I've been looking for, and is written easy for even beginners to understand. I would definitely recommend it to anyone searching for enlightenment.

This is one of my favorite books by Samael Aun Weird because of its practicality. This book doesn't deal with compatibility or what not but deals with how one transforms in accordance with the stars. It has exersizes that you use for every astrological sign and teaches one how to utilize energy in accordance with what is available at a certain time. I reference it monthly and use the techniques to speed my progress of internal development . Very use full and most importantly practical .

Excellent for anyone beginning in the study of esoteric astrology.I greatly recommend for those versed in Mundane astrology, as this is necessary for inner development of the archetypes.

One of the few authors who says it as is. Everyone of Samael’s books is a germ and worthy of being purchased.

Its a bit repetitive which can be good for rhetoric but sometimes with Aun Weor, the different sections start to blur as the repetition is carried on between them. Still a unique book.
