Modern Western astrology and Theosophy
The work that effectively launched the modern, character-based approach to astrology. Alan Leo, a member of the Theosophical Society, shifted the focus of astrology away from event-prediction to the analysis of individual character and psychological tendencies. This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to the interpretation of the Sun signs and the basics of casting a horoscope. Leo's work was instrumental in the 'Sun sign' astrology that remains popular today, though he maintained a deep esoteric framework based on soul-evolution and karma.
