Fortunes of Astrology

From book's back cover: " It was the Arabic astrologer, Al-Biruni who in 1029 AD gave the most exhaustive existing list of the Fortunes, often also known as the "Arabic Parts." He collected them from all over the world, from past civilizations and even from some mysterious people referred to as "the Ancients." Al-Biruni is to be considered the foremost authority on this subject. Yet, until now his informaton on the Fortunes has neither been presented in full nor updated for modern times. In Fortunes of Astrology, Robert Hurzt Granite has analyzed and demonstrated the original techniques by which these mysterious Fortunes were employed by the great astrologers of a millenium past. Prehaps for the first time since Al-Biruni's day, these methos are presented simply and clearly. All 158 Fortunes listed in Al-Biruni's Elements of Astrology are given by Granite, including special Fortunes for mundane astrology, horary and forecasting the commodities market. Another 99 Fortunes from more contemporary sources are included as well."
