The History of the Horoscope - Hardcover

Ovason looks at the various methods of charting the natus of great leaders, such as Napoleon, Abraham Lincoln, and at influential astrologers working in America at that time - Luke Broughton, William Henry Chaney and Evangeline Adams. The twentieth century saw a great diversity of charting methods ranging from the heliocentric horoscopy of Willi Sucher, through the charting of Reinhold Ebertin, Cyrille Wilezkowski and Dane Rudhyar, to the astonishing Astrocartography of Jim Lewis. Ovason concludes the book by pointing to the influence that computerisation has had on modern horoscopy.

Included throughout are the horoscopes of historical and modern figures, such as Cardinal Richelieu, Charles I, Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Abraham Lincoln and his assassin, John Wilkes Booth, as well as those of Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, Jacqueline Kennedy and John Lennon.
