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.
The Birthchart and Its Psychological and Environmental Correspondences - eBook
by
D. W. Sutton
Downloadable PDF eBook
Having constructed the natal horoscope, a map of the heavens that locates the zodiac signs and planets at the birth time and date as viewed from the birthplace, the question arises ‘what does it all mean?’
What is this map really all about and what do the planets, zodiac signs, houses and aspects really indicate?
The function of this book is to answer and explain these questions.
Primarily the birth chart is a map of the unconscious mind or astral body of the person then born. The unconscious mind holds within its organization all the experiences and states of consciousness that the soul has had up to the time of its human birth and these states of consciousness form the character. The astral body is a form built by mental and emotional states; and the birth chart, which is a map of these mental and emotional states, conveys to the student of astrology precise information regarding these mental factors and their relations one to the other and how they affect the abilities and character, and therefore the destiny.

Blending Astrology, Numerology & the Tarot - Soft cover book
by
Doris Chase Doane
The grand dame of astrology, as she was dubbed in a Life magazine article, has put together a tasty repast with all the right ingredients.
In her deft filigree combination of the three the reader soon realizes the close interrelationship of these three subjects ... and in doing so will greatly improve their ability to interpret card readings and the hidden influence of names and numbers.
Here is an up-to-date book containing an easy and enlightening approach to getting the most out of reading tarot cards.
14 diiferent spreads using keywords to give a smooth, informative interpretation for every card in the tarot deck.
This book is filled with information, a great reference book.
This book is an essential tool for those who want to learn to read the cards of The Brotherhood of Light Deck in spreads.
Stellar Treatment works on the principle that each one of us functions in two environments: our physical body lives on the physical or outer plane and our soul or thought-built structure operates on the astral or inner plane. The word astral means “pertaining to a star,” and one’s astrological chart is a map of one’s soul structure or astral body.
The Hermetic Axiom, “As Above, So Below” infers that the structures of the physical body are a reflection of the soul structures as mapped in the chart of birth. A careful analysis of the birth chart can reveal the discords in the soul and help ascertain the physical diseases towards which one is predisposed.
This classic book, first published in 1945, describes how habitual thinking, as mapped by the natal chart and reinforced by progressed aspects, influences the endocrine system, and thus the rest of the physical body. By applying the suggested Thought-Cell Treatments, one can work on healing the inner causes of disease.
How to judge the winners of contests, sporting events, debates, elections, etc. Using Horary Charts to show the importance of timing and the wording of questions, the casting and delination of the charts are explained in detail.

by
Ken Stone
How-to Manual for assessing Birth Charts using Church of Light Astrodynes.
Astrodynes is 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 an astrological chart.
The use of Astrodynes provides a method that greatly facilitates astrological analysis in all departments of life, and is one of most important astrological tools developed in modern times.
Learn to interpret dominant factors for health, compatibility, vocation and more.
In 1924 the question was asked ‘why don’t we investigate birthcharts and find out why people do what they do?’ and thirty years later astrology had been transformed from a superstitious belief system into an evidence-based science supported by fact, after fact, after fact. These facts – representing the science of astrology – provide Hermetic Astrology with a scientific foundation and you with a sense of security and confidence.
But today, 90 years after that question set the astrology revolution in motion, too much astrology is unsubstantiated theory and if you’re a serious student of astrology you can’t afford to use teachings and practices that are not verified by evidence-based statistical research.
Now, for the first time, all these facts have been assembled into a single volume that allows students quick and easy access to all the currently known facts of astrology.

by

By Elbert Benjamine
(aka C. C. Zain)
One of life’s great challenges is choosing a career through which the individual can find both personal satisfaction and prosperity. Astrological vocational selection involves identifying the natural aptitudes outlined in the chart of birth, and expressing them through those areas of the chart that map the most favorable environments.

When combined with an understanding of your accumulated life experiences and the opportunities available through your environment, astrological vocational selection is an excellent way to develop your soul’s natural aptitudes, contribute better to Universal Welfare, and fulfill your role in God’s Great Plan.

Hermetic Science -An investigation to test the accuracy and reliability of the planet prominence rule
EBook - by Dennis Sutton
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.

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.
