      Another method of astragyromancy employs a circle divided into a dozen equal, pie-shaped wedges, each assigned a different letter of the alphabet from A to L. Three dice are cast into the circle, and the letters that are landed on are then interpreted using a prepared list of corresponding messages.

      ASTRO-DIVINATION The ancient occult science of casting astrological charts to answer specific, personal questions and/or to solve problems based on the position of the heavenly bodies at the time of the inquiry.

      Also known by the name of Horary astrology, this form of astrological divination dates back to the fifth century B.C. (The word horary is derived from the Latin word hora, meaning hour.)

      ASTROLOGY (also known as the science of the stars.) An ancient occult art and science, dating back to the third century B.C. that judges the influence of the planets in the solar system on the course of human affairs.

      In astrology, a planet’s influence varies according to which section of the zodiac it is in.

      The two main types of astrology are Mundane and Horary. Mundane astrology, which is based on the premise that the Earth’s physical structure is affected by cosmic influences, deals with the prediction of large-scale phenomena such as earthquakes, political trends, and wars. Horary astrology is a method that uses charts for answering specific questions and/or for solving problems.

      The other branches of astrology include: Electorial astrology, which calculates appropriate dates and times for undertaking important events such as marriage, travel, and so forth; Inceptional astrology, which deals with the outcome of a particular event whose date, time, and place have already been established; Medical astrology, which correlates zodiac signs and planetary influences with diseases and malfunctions of the bodily organs; Natal astrology, which focuses on the horoscope of the heavens for the precise moment of an individual’s birth; Predictive astrology, which predicts future events in an individual’s life; and Astrometeorology, which uses the science of the stars to forecast weather patterns and conditions.
