 \nDIAMONDSThe New AstrologyOWEN S.RACHLEFF  \n# SKY DIAMONDSThe New Astrology\n\nBY OWEN S.RACHLEFFllustrated by Robert S.Rappaport  \nAt last,there is something new under thesun!An updated,believable system ofpopular astrology intended for thedevotee,the skeptic,and those with acurious interest in a fascinating field.  \nThe author,Owen S.Rachleff,anassociate professor of humanities at NewYork University,has long been a criticof traditional astrology,because—he says—it is not based on the real stars andon cosmic realities.In this dynamic newbook,Rachleff sets forth his remedy:Sky Diamonds—the Space-Age system ofastrology,in which hundreds of realcelestial bodies in our solar system areexamined in terms of their influence onthe reader.The system is simple,richin anecdote and psychological truths,andworks as follows:  \nEach of the traditional twelve Zodiacconstellations extends across the centerof a diamond-shaped area in the sky.Inthis area are all the constellations,northand south,that affect those born whenthe sun is in the particular diamond inquestion.Fascinating star groups,such asHercules,the Dragon,the Peacock,Andromeda,are thus rightly brought intoyour horoscope along with the betterknown Zodiac signs,such as Aries,Pisces,and Aquarius.All these are correctlyaligned to the precise data of birthaccording to astronomical truths.Nolonger are you influenced by mere namesor\"signs,\"but by the actual stars—as it(continued on back flap)  \nDIY LBRARYAJLeichum,Jdaho  \n…  \n2019  \n心  \nSKY DIAMONDSThe NewAstrology  \n#

astrology.As a teacher at a major university,I havediscovered a real and urgent need for this approach.My students,I find,are truly fascinated with astrology,but-being concernedwith truth-they consider it archaic,improbable,“too silly forwords.\"They want a fresh approach,new information,and,ifpossible,something in which to believe.  \nDevotees of the occult have themselves worried about the in-herent fallacies in popular astrology.One of them,the late Eileen  \nJ.Garrett,president of the Parapsychology Foundation of NewYork,put it rather well:“The theory of astrology [has]some-thing genuine to offer,but in order to make [it]really veridicalto the world and essential before the tribunal of science and re-ligion,one must first make it trustworthy.”  \nThe Sky Diamond System of Astrology,which this book ad-  \nvocates,attempts to do just that-to make astrology both“veridi-  \n# Preface\n\ncal”and “trustworthy.”It can do this because it is an accuratesystem,based on astronomical truths.It is complete,surveyingthe entire solar system and its myriad stars;it is functional,pre-senting brand-new information on such worn-out topics as theZodiac,charting,and celestial influences on marriage and ca-reers-all related in terms the average reader can accept and,more important,believe.  \nBecause of their great interest and concern,I dedicate thisbook to my students at New York University,those who findastrology fascinating but foolish,wonderful but worn.  \nIt is also intended,of course,for truth-seeking devotees,likeMrs.Garrett.Hopefully,they too will find Sky Diamonds irresist-ible,despite its“revolutionary”demands on their age-old con-ceits.  \nAbove all,this is a primer for the
