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 astrology magazine of the technical English school: its pages are dominated by the working craft of the nativity — ascendants, directions, planetary aspects, the zodiac, even a curiosity like 'Animal Horoscopy.' A light general-occult surround of magic, initiation, and a touch of tarot frames the astrology, and a thin thread of Reichenbach's 'odic' force and clairvoyance links it to the older mesmeric literature. A faint Theosophical tint colors the whole, as it did much English occult astrology, but the magazine's center of gravity is unambiguously the horoscope itself, computed and interpreted as a practical art.
