Perhaps the least understood and most misused elements in astrology today are the fixed stars. Current practice is to consider the stars as no more than mini-manifestations of the planets whose nature they are presumed to hold. The locations of the stars projected onto the ecliptic are then considered valid points for aspectual relationships. No special significance is attributed to the non-zodiacal constellations; nor is a star's location within a constellation given any weight whatsoever. Finally, modern astrology places no distinction on the use of the stars and constellations in genethliacal astrology and the other branches of the ancient art. In this book the natures of the fixed stars and constellations as known by the classicists are discussed in detail. Methods of delineating the fixed stars are indicated, with special emphasis on the applications to judicial astrology. Included are chapters on the nature of the fixed stars; the northern, southern and zodiacal constellations; genethliacal applications of the fixed stars; judicial astrology; and three appendices with information on mathematics and rulership and a complete listing of the fixed stars.
On the continent of Alaria, in a palace deep within Mount Chestnut, lived a queen like no other. The Heart Queen had a great power—the ability to compel those around her to feel what she felt. But when the Heart Queen discovered she’d been betrayed by her own people, she unleashed a storm of emotion like no other, plunging the hares and their land into an age of darkness and despair—until, slowly but surely, the darkness lifted, peace returned, and her story became that of legend. Centuries later, near the hare town of Barrowton, in the Leporidae Valley, rumours of danger beyond the borders of the valley begin to stir. Hares begin to disappear one by one without a trace. Lyselle, a young bright-pink hare like no other, is visited in a dream by the Cerulean Star—the owl god and one of the Seven Stars that created Alaria. He implores her to find a legendary sword, and issues a warning: “Beware her wrath . . .”
