Description
John Gadbury teaches birth-chart astrology in Genethlialogia, his Doctrine of Nativities, from 1658. The great English manual tells how to cast a horoscope and read a life in it. Gadbury, rival to the famed Lilly, served the Civil War generation with forecasts drawn from the stars at each client's birth.
Rules for houses, aspects, and judgments fill his orderly, confident pages. Health, wealth, marriage, and death all submit to his method here. Judicial astrology stands at its most systematic in this work. Readers meet the heavens treated as a book of lives, open to any reader who learns the signs aright.
