Hermetic Science:
-An Investigation to Test the Accuracy and Reliability of the Planet Prominence Rule
This highly-recommended PDF ebook by D. W Sutton is a companion book to Astrology Revolution, by the same author. It takes a fascinating look into the standard astrology “planet prominence” rule and its effectiveness when compared with using Astrodynes in determining planet prominence.
All things considered the most important matter in astrological work is the assessment of planet prominence. A planet's prominence – in any birthchart – measures its ability to impress its influence upon the life. And the most important factor in astrological research is the integrity of the research model used to determine planet prominence.
This book is a great tool for sharpening your astrological chart analysis skills. It explains the planet prominence rule, how to use it and discusses issues that commonly arise. It then explains how to determine planet prominence using Astrodynes, C. C. Zain’s great tool for numerical chart analysis.
The book analyzes 100 example charts of notable persons, comparing the results of using the traditional astrology prominence rule with results from using Astrodynes to determine planet prominence and the impact on chart analysis results.

Beginner Horoscope Maker and Reader by
Elbert Benjamine
This book was originally published by The Aries Press, Chicago, Illinois, in 1943 as two volumes: Beginner's Horoscope Maker and Beginner's Horoscope Reader. Both were authored by Elbert Benjamine.
Part One, the “Maker” was written at a time when astrological charts were calculated by hand using, what at the time, was simple mathematics. Today computers are faster and more accurate than performing the tedious hand-calculations. However, for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of aspects and the finer nuances of chart interpretation, it can be very helpful to understand the math and Beginning Horoscope Maker is helpful in this regard.
Part Two, the “Reader” is a simplified system for interpreting a chart. Its brief interpretations are helpful for gaining insight into a birth chart and for learning how to synthesize the various components of a chart. Interpreting the symbols on a chart is a daunting task for the beginning student. The “Reader” helps bridge the chasm between the beginner and the proficient
In 1972 the two volumes were combined into one book, Beginner's Horoscope Maker & Reader.
The 1972 version is here presented in its entirety.
This is the eighth book in the 21 Brotherhood of Light Course series by C. C. Zain on the Hermetic Sciences, Astrology, Alchemy, Tarot, Kabbalah and the Occult.
A horary chart is a map of the mental factors active in the mind of the querent at the time and place a question is asked. This branch of astrology is used to discern the nature of the past, present, and future of the matter inquired about. This book is suitable for beginning, intermediate and advanced students of astrology. It provides a complete treatise on Horary and Electional astrology, in addition to providing the basic technical aspects of chart delineation.
The first two chapters provide the beginning or intermediate student with all the important concepts for interpreting any horoscope: natal or horary, and are required reading for the more advanced courses in natal astrology. Chapters three through five teach the student how to interpret a horary chart erected to answer a particular question posed by the querent. Chapter six covers Electional astrology and teaches the student how to select the best time for any undertaking. The final two chapters cover the technical aspects of calculating a horoscope and constructing an astrological chart.

C. C. Zain is the pen name used by Elbert Benjamine (1882-1951), the noted astrologer, naturalist and occultist, for those writings done under the auspices of The Brotherhood of Light during the years 1914 - 1934. This body of knowledge has become known as The Brotherhood of Light Lessons.
Elbert Benjamine was one of the most prolific astrological writers of the 20th century. In addition to the twenty-three volumes of the Brotherhood of Light series published under the penname C. C. Zain, Benjamine also wrote over fifty books and hundreds of magazine articles. A scholar who mastered every physical science of his time, Benjamine brought the same vigor to his exploration of the metaphysical sciences. Like the writings of Bailey, Blavatsky, Steiner, and Heindl, the works of C. C. Zain (Elbert Benjamine) have impacted the lives of thousands of students of Western Occultism.
Elbert Benjamine was born Benjamin P. Williams in the small town of Adel, Iowa, December 12, 1882. He was a natural psychic and seer. In his youth, his heightened awareness brought him into contact with those who had passed from this plane to the next. In the autumn of 1898, he began his esoteric studies. By 1900 he had contacted The Brotherhood of Light and began serious study of astrology. His father was a doctor and deacon in the Disciples of Christ church in Iowa, where the community strongly disapproved of any interest in astrology and the occult. For this reason, upon moving to Los Angeles, he changed his name to Elbert Benjamine in order to protect his family. In the spring of 1910 he gave his promise to write the Twenty-One Brotherhood of Light Courses covering astrology, alchemy and magic, under the penname of C. C. Zain. From that time until his death in 1951, he devoted his life’s energy and personal resources to writing the lessons, and to establishing The Church of Light as a vehicle for disseminating The Brotherhood of Light teachings.
This book is part 2 of Course 10 in the 21 Brotherhood of Light Course series by C. C. Zain on the Hermetic Sciences, Astrology, Alchemy, Tarot, Kabbalah and the Occult.
It is an intermediate to advanced level astrology course on calculating and interpreting natal horoscope progressions and transits. This book, which was originally entitled Predicting Events, teaches the student how to calculate and interpret secondary (Major), Minor and Transit progressed aspects of a natal chart.
The book shows how the movement of the planets in the chart after birth reveal probable future trends through indicating the manner in which an individual’s astral (unconscious mind) thought cell structures are stimulated and work to attract activities and events into the life. With this information the individual may seize opportunities or take precautionary action, and through various techniques presented in the book, initiate mental and physical actions to achieve the most desirable outcome. This book discusses how to calculate and interpret the Hermetic system of major (secondary) and minor progressions, how transit aspects act as triggers for major progressions, and how to rectify a horoscope when the exact birth time is unknown.

This is the sixteenth book in a series of 21 Brotherhood of Light Courses by C. C. Zain on the Hermetic Sciences, Astrology, Alchemy, Tarot, Kabbalah and the Occult.
The book describes the substance and structure of the astral or stellar body. The author describes how natal and progressed aspects in the chart map aerials between various thought-cell structures in the stellar body that pick up energy similar to a radio receiver. Since the positions of the planets in the birth chart indicate the diseases toward which an individual may be predisposed, the natal and progressed planetary configurations of 160 diseases are listed. A detailed description of how to use Astrodynes for measuring the power and harmony of planets, signs and houses in both the natal and progressed chart is provided by the author, who invented the concept. Instructions are given on how to use Astrodynes to determine the source within the stellar or astral body that is responsible for the individual's disease or discomfort. Various Stellar Treatments, which are methods for applying appropriate healing energies to the compartment of the stellar body causing the problem, are discussed.
This book is the definitive text on calculating Astrodynes, a technique developed by Elbert Benjamine and the Church of Light, for precise determination of the astrological power and harmony or discord of any planet, aspect, sign or house in the chart. The use of Astrodynes provides a method that greatly facilitates astrological analysis in all departments of life.

Progressed Aspects of Standard Astrology is a great companion book to both Body Disease and Its Stellar Treatment and When and What Events Will Happen.
Although most Church of Light students have the advantage of the Horoscope computer program for calculating progressions, this volume is helpful for the motivated learner, who is eager to grasp the methods of calculating progressed aspects. By mapping the reinforcements made to major progressions by minor progressions the student and professional astrologer are better equipped to predict the timing of events.
Also included in this volume are Thought-Cell Treatments to help avoid accidents, heart trouble, nervous breakdowns and more.
