## About this item

This astrology book is a visual history of Western astrology, with 400 illustrations and the symbolic meaning behind them, for anyone curious about the stars. Edited by Jessica Hundley, it is the second volume in TASCHEN's Library of Esoterica series. Andrea Richards is the author, and the book traces the practice from Egyptian temples to contemporary art.

The images are sequenced to mirror the spin of the planets and the wheel of the zodiac. Works by Hilma af Klint, Arpita Singh and Manzel Bowman are among the artists shown. New interviews with astrologers Robert Hand, Jessica Lanyadoo and Mecca Woods are included.

Long before modern horoscopes, astronomy and astrology were sister sciences, as the book recounts. Open this astrology book at the wheel of the zodiac and follow the sky page by page.
