As stated in this text the belief is that astrology is not a collection of myths and symbols to puzzle the superstitious, but every Star, Sun, Planet or Moon is a Divine ideography, portraying some Divine Truth. When this truth is understood, harmony of mind with itself is felt. Man is a microcosm, corresponding to the macrocosm. One is in sympathy with the other and is felt. The connection between the terrestrial and super worlds is real. The same spirit is in all, transforms all, restores all and blesses all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
