Astrology - Christopher McIntosh

Everyone today knows his sign of the Zodiac. But how many people know where astrology came from, how astrologers work, or what their sign means? These questions and many more about this fascinating subject are answered in this clear and readable, yet scholarly study.

The author traces the development of astrology from its earliest origins to its present-day boom, showing how it has touched every major civilization and religion in history, and has influenced politics, magic, art, medicine, and even
music.

Christopher McIntosh has ranged far and wide as an author, while for most of his life pursuing a varied and wandering career, working as a journalist, a publisher, a United Nations official and a university lecture.

He has lived in many different places including Edinburgh, London, New York, Hamburg and Bremen. While his work as an author includes travel-writing, literary criticism and biography, his main focus is on the esoteric traditions of the West. His novel, Return of the Tetrad, has established him as a skilled writer of fiction.
