Above the Zodiac: Astrology in Jewish Thought

Rating:
Summary: Astrology with an academic and historical, Jewish perspectiv
Review: I bought this book years ago and it remains one of my most treasured. The Introduction reads "The Practice of Judaism and The Science of Astrology" with quotes of Jewish law, Nadmanides, Rabbi Solomon Luria's commentary on Maimonides, the Zohar - and this is just the first few paragraphs! The table of contents includes each sign, i.e. Aries/Nissan, Taurus/Iyar, etc. Each page is chock full of quotes, anecdotes. I feel 'justified' as a Jew who also is an astrologer. You'll never want to let this book out of your library and I feel that you'll always be glad that you own it.
