The Magic of Electional Astrology (2015) by J. Lee Lehman
Electional Astrology addresses the age-old challenge of creating charts for inceptions, such as the start of an activity or an entity (like a corporation). Electional is a popular request among astrology clients who often ask for dates and times to start a business, sell a property or car, start a job, a marriage, or an educational program. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Lehman presents the traditional astrological methods for these and many types of events, fully updated to modern life. Find out how to use the ancient rules for warfare to pick a time for a divorce, a strike, or a lockout. Explore events as diverse as running in a marathon, picking a time to execute a medical power of attorney, or filing one's taxes. This comprehensive book presents a full history, as well as over 113 completed examples detailing how electional astrology charts work. These methods do not require prior knowledge of classical astrology, although it would be helpful.
Classical Solar Returns (2011) by J. Lee Lehman
Solar returns employ the astrological technique of reading the next year's activity for a chart calculated for when the transiting Sun returns to its natal position. Almost every Western astrologer has tried to use solar returns. However, there have been so many methods proposed, that the beginner in this technique is often bewildered about how to get the core meanings out of this system. Dr. Lehman uses 240 examples, including one example of 11 consecutive returns, and another with 41 consecutive returns, as well as other examples by subject, to illustrate not only the cycles found within solar returns, but how to apply them. Learn about solar returns for relationships, jobs, financial success, children, relocation, education, honors, medical issues, as well as death. Dr. Lehman takes you through the method, the application, and the kinds of issues raised by this method.
Traditional Medical Astrology (2012) by J. Lee Lehman
Medical Astrology is no longer a specialty that only a few astrologers can learn to use, as was the case for the last century. Presented here is a step-by-step approach to teaching the logic of this field, which traditionally was part of every natal astrologer's work. Included are natal, horary, and electional methods, as well as an extensive history of medical astrology and its uses. Dr. Lehman offers the traditional astrological methods for this system, also emphasizing that medical astrology was always an adjunct to medicine, not a complete system by itself. This book is designed for the intermediate student in astrology who wants to learn the basics of how this system works. Both theory and practice of these methods are taught.
The Astrology of Sustainability: The Challenge of Pluto in Capricorn (2011) by J. Lee Lehman
Now you can understand how astrologers comprehend environmental issues of the 21st century. In this ground-breaking work, traditional astrological methods for assessing outer planet cycles, then the full integration of the meanings of the upcoming Neptune and Pluto cycles through 2065, are studied in depth. A full history is presented with over seventy complete examples of how the Aries Ingress charts and the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction series were developed to appreciate both short-term and long-term trends. This work does not require prior knowledge of either classical or mundane astrology (however, experience in these areas would be helpful). Discover how the astrological events of 2012 are not as important as future configurations, although it is so important that the configurations are understood now.
Classical Astrology for Modern Living: From Ptolemy to Psychology & Back Again (2000) by J. Lee Lehman
Using methods developed by ancient Astrologers, Lee Lehman works to strengthen techniques used by Astrologers today. The task of Classical Astrology today is twofold: to recover these techniques and to evaluate and understand them within a modern context. She presents both techniques and the logic behind them to radically improve all Astrology, regardless of whether the practitioner chooses to adopt a Classical or Neo-Classical approach. She analyzes the charts of several famous people and events to demonstrate the techniques and their effectiveness.
