Historians, classicists, philosophers and a poet - including some who also study and practise traditional astrology - have combined to present views of this fascinating subject. Clio, muse of history, offers the historian's approach while Urania, muse when astronomy and astrology were one, contributes the practising astrologer's insights. For historians and non-astrologers generally the subject is made accessible. All the main genres - mundane, horary, electional and medical - find a place, as well as the well-known natal variety. The glossary clarifies distinctions between traditional and modern practice. The material ranges from Mesopotamia in 1800 BC to 18th-century England. The continuity of certain themes from earliest times onwards is emphasised in editorial cross-referneces - of special use to people who are studying astrology. They will find many starting points for further work on historic horoscopes, as well as food for thought about modern practice.
