Astrology by Hand

A column by Robert Hand

Introduction

Here we would like to pay tribute to StarIQ for giving us permission to republish a series of articels by Robert Hand which was written and published on StarIQ in the years 2000 / 2001. Bit by bit he explores the workings of astrology, its relationship with science, magic, language and consciousness. He explains about horary and traditional astrology as well as humanistic and psychological astrology. He presents his view of astrology as revealed to him in his long studies. A very interesting approach worth reading and comtemplating. We will publish the articles as a succession of weekly installments, as it was done by StarIQ originally. However, the last eleven articles deal with chart interpretations of politicians at the time of their first publication. We have drawn these together in parts of two or three at once. Please bear in mind that this a piece of history as well as great practice in chart interpretation.
