The Language of the Stars: A Primary Course of Lessons in Celestial Dynamics - Paperback

2020 Reprint of the 1892 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Language of the Stars is one of the better basic primers to Hermetic Astrology. Works of similar length often cover little more than the twelve signs, the meaning of the planets, and lengthy concordances of their overlap with metals, plants, diseases, or other things. This particular text goes well beyond this. With a good appendix of terms, extensive calculations, charts, and a list of planetary and other influences, Burgoyne's "Language" allows the reader (student of astrology) to themselves understand and calculate nativities, among other things. Burgoyne is the author of several classics in this field, including The Light of Egypt.
