About this Book Scan

Carefully scanned in full colour from one of our original printings of the 1832 first edition.

Rupertus Stella’s Astrologian’s Guide in Horary Astrology (1832) was the first all-new dedicated treatise on horary since the 1780s and showed continuing interest in horary well into the 19th century. A pocket-sized book, it has become a remarkably rare work.
