The elements of astrology

This is an introductory exposition of astrology that outlines the system’s basic principles and methods. Historically, it reflects the late nineteenth-century revival of astrological writing in English, and readers will find a structured presentation of signs, planets, houses, and interpretation.

Luke Dennis Broughton (1862–1895) was an American spiritualist writer and trance medium whose books helped popularize late 19th-century occult and mediumistic literature. His work reflects the period’s interest in spirit communication, esoteric religion, and the practical claims of spiritualism.
