KEPLER'S ASTROLOGY
The next edition of Culture and Cosmos will be a special double issue, guest edited by Dorian Giesler Greenbaum, and published under the title 'Kepler's Astrology' (Culture and Cosmos Vol. 14 no 1 and 2).
This is a 330 page first ever study of Johannes Kepler's practical use of astrology which sheds new light on a vital period in the history and development of modern astrology.
Kepler was one of the great astronomers of the 17th century.
His writings on the theory of astrology, which he thought could be reformed in line with ancient Platonic and Pythagorean principles, have been published, and have been extensively studied. However, the ways in which he actually worked with horoscopes has never before been examined. This is a must for all students of astrology.
The volume includes a translation of Friedericke Boockmann's paper on 'Johannes Kepler's Horoscope Collection', and translations by Patrick J. Boner, Dorian Giesler Greenbaum, J Cornelia Linde and John Meeks ranging from Kepler and Michael Maestlin's analysis of their son's nativities to Kepler's weather calendars of 1618 and 1619, and his correspondence and interpretation of Wallenstein's horoscope in 1624-5.
