Simplified Scientific Astrology: A Complete Textbook on the Art of Erecting a Horoscope, with Philosophic Encyclopedia and Tables of Planetary HoursIncludes tables of planetary hours, star charts and more, Simplified Scientific Astrology teaches readers how to read the stars and construct horoscopes using celestial diagrams.
