This is a much needed textbook on fixed stars & their relationship to the natal planets Bernadette Brady (Brady's Book of Fixed Stars Samuel Weiser 1998) has a mission
- & that mission is to draw astrologers closer to the foundations of their art bringing the glory & magnitude of the fixed stars into every day astrology where she firmly believes they belong With our light-polluted skies & busy lives it is easy to practise a form of astrology where we never actually look out at the stars or planets
- & in doing so the author shows that we lose vital astrological information about our natal relationship to the heavens This book offers rare material on the detailed interpretations of an individual's natal heliacal rising & setting stars; these stars yield insight into the nature of one's soul & spiritual path in addition the author gives a comprehensive listing of the meaning of every star when combined with all the planets & nodal axis for natal as well as predictive use Tables are provided to help the reader find their own key stars for their time of birth allowing them to work with & embrace the sky using the methods that were first employed at the dawn of astrology
