An Introduction to Astrology

William Lilly’s work introduces the principles and practical methods of traditional astrology in a form meant to guide both students and practitioners. It is historically significant as part of the English astrological revival of the seventeenth century; readers will find instruction in planetary meanings, houses, aspects, and the interpretation of charts and questions.

William Lilly (1602–1681) was an English astrologer whose influential work Christian Astrology helped shape early modern astrological practice in English. He is one of the most important figures in the history of practical astrology and related occult literature in seventeenth-century Britain.
