Synopsis

The Guide To Astrology: Containing The Complete Rudimental Part Of Genethliacal Astrology by Raphael. This nineteenth-century manual presents a practical, hands-on system for understanding and predicting life events from a natal chart. Raphael lays out a complete rudimentary framework for calculating a nativity, erecting schematics of the heavens, and interpreting planetary aspects, signs, and the twelve houses. The work is organized into three parts: Part First explains the symbols, planetary aspects, and houses; Part Second offers an epitome of Ptolemy’s genethliacal principles and directions; and Part Third details how to judge a nativity, including the hyleg, health, wealth, marriage, offspring, travel, and death. The text emphasizes the concept of directions (primary and secondary) and transits, and its practical examples—Napoleon, Abraham Lincoln, and royalty—illustrating how such configurations may influence life events. It also includes an appendix with Ptolemy’s aphorisms and guidance on using an ephemeris, making it a historical reference and a foundational manual for students seeking tangible methods in astrology.
