The ancient doctrine on the fixed stars has been lost for European Astrology since the end of antiquity in the 6th century AD.
Without this knowledge, however, it is impossible to correctly judge a chart.
This book is a first time translation of the Latin manuscript 'Liber Hermetis de Stellis FIxis que dicuntur beybenie' (The book of Hermes on the Fixed Stars named Beybenie).
The words of Hermes are illuminating and open our eyes for yet another World - beutiful and true. With this knowledge, the charts suddenly become full of meaning and we can see clearly the true nature of the souls.
A chapter in the beginning of the book explains in detail the Ancient Doctrine on the FIxed Stars.
In the end we have tables of the fixed stars as per Hermes, Zoroaster, the Anonymous from 379 and Hugo de Santalla. Then the photos of the manuscript itself follows and 7 example charts.
