The Horoscope [London] [IAPSOP]

Periodical:	*The Horoscope [London]*

Summary:	From Pat Deveney's database: Horoscope, The. A Quarterly Review of Astrology and Occult Science. 1902-1904 Quarterly London, England. Language: English. Publisher: W. Foulsham & Co. 1/1, October 1902-July 1904. 64 pp., 6 1/2 x 10. 4/6 a year. The journal stated its purpose as to be a "review of reviews," but the it was an unfocused mixture of occultism and astrology. Ireton (Ralph Shirley, 1865-1946) obviously learned his lesson from the journal because in 1905 he began the long-lived Occult Review. Considerable astrological content, with articles by Walter Old ("Sephariel"), Heinrich Däath, Maud Annesley, George Wild, and Walter K. Lewis, S.L. Macgregor Mathers (on Iamblichus), G. Fabius de Champville, et al.

Claude-Generated Themes:	Horoscope was a London astrological magazine of the technical English school, and its pages are dominated by the working craft of the nativity: ascendants and directions, planetary aspects and the zodiac, computed and argued over by people who did this for a living. A characteristic passage advises the student struggling with a problem in spherics to study the lines on a projection of the sphere, on the ground that most false astrological theories rest on false notions of the sphere. Around that core runs a light general-occult surround — magic, initiation, alchemy, a little tarot — together with a thread of clairvoyance and Reichenbach's odic emanations that ties the magazine to the older mesmeric literature, and the faint Theosophical tint that coloured nearly all English occult astrology. It could be sharp with its neighbours: one notice ridicules a lecturer for treating a phrenological society to a discourse on love as a mental malady. The centre of gravity, throughout, is the horoscope itself as a practical art. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description.
