Mikropanastron, or An Astrological Vade Mecum (1679) is John Partridge's landmark astrological textbook that proved so popular it launched his career as a professional astrologer. The work provides a concise but complete treatment of horary, electional, and natal astrology, including rules for all twelve houses, the doctrine of elections, and the famous Centiloquium — the 100 aphorisms attributed to Ptolemy. Partridge's stated aim was to reform astrology by returning to classical Ptolemaic methods rather than medieval Arabic traditions, making this book a manifesto for Ptolemaic revival as much as a practical manual.
