📝 Description: Astrology for All

Alan Leo, born William Frederick Allan, was a British astrologer who established the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical Society in 1915 and published Astrologer's Magazine. Cosimo Classics offers this edition as a paperback replica of his 1910 fourth edition. The 352-page volume introduces readers to the basic principles of astronomy needed to comprehend astrological practice. It outlines the character and nature of the twelve Zodiac signs, details how a horoscope is cast, and explains the concept of a horoscope. The text provides breakdowns of how the Sun and the Moon affect each house. Leo draws on early 20th-century divination techniques that helped spark a wider public interest in horoscopes. The volume works as a foundational primer for beginners who want to learn how to construct and read basic charts from a historic perspective. It is not designed for advanced practitioners who seek modern psychological interpretations, as it focuses strictly on traditional early twentieth-century instruction.
