Sources on esoteric astrology and karmic astrology in the library:
For the purposes of this booklist, I have taken a broad definition of esoteric astrology, to include not only books that specifically refer to their contents as ‘esoteric astrology’ but also ones that show obviously esoteric leanings in their philosophy and language. I decided to include books on karmic astrology because there is so much overlap, but not books on evolutionary astrology as that is arguably a distinct school of thought in its own right. The books are divided into four time periods. I have not had the chance to study all these books in detail yet, so it is possible that some may be miscategorised here. Comments and corrections welcome.

[2] In this first edition, the author’s identity is not revealed. He is represented merely by a swastika symbol on the title page – an early example of the popularity of this symbol in turn-of-the-twentieth-century occult and astrological circles long before it was misappropriated by the Nazi Party in Germany
[3] NB: This volume is a sequel to the original volume that was described as being ‘in two parts’, this new volume being composed of entirely new material
[4] This is stated on the spine; yet internally there is no evidence of it being so, suggesting that it may be an unaltered second printing or binding from the original sheets
[5] A work looking in detail at the ancient mythology of thirty-six constellations, which are distributed for the purposes of the organisation of the book among the twelve signs of the zodiac, each sign being accorded three constellations to represent its different decans
[6] With separate title-page to p. 45: ‘Part Two: An Esoteric Analysis and Synthesis of the Zodiacal Signs and their Physico-Chemical Allocations Together With Additional Scientific Findings By Inez Eudora Perry’.
[7] But this copyright is credited to the Metaphysical Publishing Co.; it is thus unclear if this printing credited to the Philosophic Co., was in fact the sole first printing, although the advertisements at the rear for other publications by the Metaphysical Publishing Co. would tend to suggest so.
[8] Title to front board is instead ‘Alan Leo’s Astrological Text Books. Esoteric Astrology’. With separate title page to [p. 129]: “Esoteric Astrology – Second Part[:] Explanatory Diagrams and Illustrative Horoscopes”. With separate title page to [p. 239]: “Esoteric Astrology – Third Part[:] The Divisions of the Zodiac”
[9] Presumed to mean L. N. Fowler & co., but misprinted
[10] Internally comprising ‘How to Judge a Nativity Part I (1903) and ‘How to Judge a Nativity Part II’ (1904), bound together with a fresh overall title page and table of contents at the beginning, as issued by publisher. With separate title page to first part: “How to Judge a Nativity: “Astrology For All” Series” Published at 7, Imperial Arcade, Ludgate Circus, E.C. and 9, Lyncroft Gardens, West Hampstead, N. W., 1903. With separate title page to second part: “How to Judge a Nativity Part II. “Astrology For All” Series” Published at 7, Imperial Arcade, Ludgate Circus, E.C. and 9, Lyncroft Gardens, West Hampstead, N. W., 1904
[11] A book of readings of the solar degrees, linked to birthdays. Both succinctly expressed symbols and multi-paragraph readings are included for each day of the year. The true identity of the author is not known
[12] The first English edition, revised from the original Dutch edition of 1911, which was notable for being the approximately joint-second of four known books to have predicted not only the discovery of Pluto but also its name, following that of Fomalhaut (1897), contemporaneous with that of Isabelle Pagan (1911), and before that of Sepharial (“The Science of Foreknowledge”, 1918)
[13] COPAC gives 1929
[14] Over the publisher legend on the front cover and spine has been pasted a sticker reading: “Librairie G. & J. Niclaus, 34, Rue Saint-Jacques – Paris (5e)”
[15] So stated in an added note on p. 107 although not at the beginning of the volume. After the original edition of 1937, q. v. immediately above. Despite the lesser nominal page count of this second edition, it is clear that 15 pages have been saved by eliminating most of the blanks and section title pages in the original edition, while the prefatory section has been trimmed by a couple of pages
[16] After the original American edition of the same year
[17] DNB gives 1948. This copy includes advertisements for slightly later issues in the series and must have been bound up in the early-mid 1950s
[18] The exact address of this publisher is not given. The imprimatur refers to “Les presses d’Albert Kundig”.
[19] A printing of the transcript of another audio recording made in 1963
[20] The full title on the inner title page. On the front cover, it is reduced and re-ordered to ‘The Hand of God On the Wall: Spiritual Astrology’
[21] In advertising for early editions, this was billed as ‘Astrology and Health No. 7’
[22] COPAC records 1938
[23] Clearly a late work, presumed from internal references to earlier completed publications to be 1950s, though might possibly be 1940s
[24] An English translation (not in this collection), “Cosmic Aspects of Birth and Death”, was published by Paul Platt and Susan Riley (Golden Stone Press) in or around the late 1980s
[25] In this instance, as has been an increasing trend since No. 60 in the Astrologische Universal-Harmonien series, the series title is omitted, but “Sonderdruck” is specified and the number is listed
[26] Publication records indicate 1996 for the first printing
[27] Dated 1982, but clearly a later reprint
[28] Internal reference to Meyer’s ‘A Handbook for the Humanistic Astrologer’ places the date no earlier than 1974. The other books (and records) referred to in the text range in date from 1970-1973
[29] This prefix to the title appears to the front cover but not the internal title page
[30] The DNB gives 1986 for the first edition only. One source accessed via the Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog estimates 1988 for this printing.
[31] This prefix to the title apears to the front cover only, not to the internal title page
[32] Misspelt ‘übearbeitete’ to copyright page
[33] The original copyright date is given as 1989
[34] The date of the first is given as April 1977.
[35] A series of books edited at this time by Howard Sasportas
[36] After the original edition copyrighted 1988
[37] After the original printing of September 1990 by the same publisher
[38] First UK edition, after the original Weiser edition of 1982. The cover design is entirely different from that of the Weiser edition, q. v.
[39] There is no internal reference on the title pages to identify the volume number in each case, but it is apparent from the print on the dust jacket spines
[40] Dated 1988; but this refers to the first printing of the first combined edition; the actual date of this printing may be closer to my date of purchasing it, which was 1996
[41] Swiss library records record two printings entitled thus. In addition to the present undated edition, which they presume to have been published not later than 1982, there was another one dated 1983 and credited to the Astrosophy Research Centre, which is recorded as the third edition
[42] Believed from advertisements to be 1986 or 1985
