About Anthony Louis
Anthony Louis is a psychiatrist who has been studying astrology as a serious avocation since his early teens and tarot for the past three decades. His longstanding interest in the history and symbolism of the divinatory arts led him to lecture internationally and to publish numerous articles and books on astrology, tarot, and other forms of divination. His highly acclaimed text on horary astrology first appeared in 1991 and was revised and reissued in 1996. His bestselling book 'Tarot Plain and Simple' is a perennial favorite.
A more advanced book entitled 'Tarot Beyond the Basics' was released by Llewellyn in April of 2014. A reviewer in Library Journal (14 Apr 2014) said of Louis' most recent tarot text: "Well researched and organized and offering a fantastic card-by-card appendix, this title will satisfy readers of tarot and divination systems who are looking for depth.” -- Janet Tapper
In 2013 Louis began to publish e-books about astrology and tarot for Kindle on amazon.com. He has also written the text for reports on vocation, secondary progressions, and solar returns for Halloran software's AstrolDeluxe Report Writer and has translated into English Morin's Book 18 of Astrologia Gallica on the strengths and weaknesses of the planets. Based on his study of Morin's work on solar returns, he reviewed the classic and modern literature and in 2008 published "The Art of Forecasting with Solar Returns."
The author is a member of the Astrological Society of Connecticut. His blog is at http://tonylouis.wordpress.com/

Primary directions are an ancient predictive technique. They were the mainstay of astrological forecasting for hundreds of years. Primary directions are somewhat complicated to compute, but with the advent of modern PCs they are staging a comeback. Directions are very helpful in the rectification of birth charts. This e-book is an introduction to primaries for astrologers who are relatively unfamiliar with the method but would like to learn the basics and begin to apply primary directions in their work. The main focus is on the semi-arc method of Claudius Ptolemy, though Regiomontanus' misunderstanding of Ptolemy is also briefly discussed. Several case examples are given to show how useful directions can be in astrological practice..
Planetary hours have been used for centuries to choose favorable times to begin activities and initiate projects for success. They have also been used to elect times for prayers, rituals and incantations. Although planetary hours do not take the place of a traditional electional chart in astrology, according to professional astrologer Maria Kay Simms they lend themselves well to occasions "when a quick timing decision must be made with no time to do more complex astrological computations, even if you know how."
This ebook reviews the key features of planetary hours and shows how they can be used as a "quick and dirty" yet powerful astrological method to elect times to maximize the chances of success of any undertaking. There is also a discussion of how to personalize the planetary hours to your individual horoscope cast for the time of your birth. The author’s comments are often buttressed by historical references and citations, particularly from William Lilly (1647) on the meanings of the houses and Henry Coley (1676) on the attributes of planetary hours in the 17th century.
Geomancy makes use of sixteen figures, each consisting of four rows. The rows are made up of single or double markings, which represent yang or yin energy respectively. Rather than make marks on the ground, the author suggests using a tarot deck and a special four-card tarot spread to generate geomantic figures. The value of this technique is that it combines the divinatory power of three well-established oracular systems: astrology, geomancy and the tarot. In this book the reader will learn how to cast and interpret a four-card geomantic spread with a standard tarot deck. The readings given by this deceptively simple technique are often powerful and quite revealing.
One reader sent the author a note about this e-book: "I started using your new geomantic system. One word: amazing!!!! I always knew the tarot was multilayered and multidimensional. This is incredible, Anthony!"

This e-book focuses on the Fool’s journey through the twelve signs of the zodiac, which includes his encounters with the various court cards and the Minor Arcana. The journey starts in Aries at the eastern horizon, corresponding to the onset of spring and works it way through each of the twelve astrological signs. During the trip the Fool passes through the four quadrants of the horoscope wheel and their corresponding seasons. On this voyage he visits the thirty-six decans and their associated pip cards. He also meets court cards and tarot trumps along the way. The map for this voyage was drawn up by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Following the Fool on his journey can add a new dimension to your understanding of modern tarot symbolism.
This book will be especially valuable to readers who use the Crowley-Harris Thoth tarot deck and to those who wish to gain a deeper appreciation of the Golden Dawn system which combined astrology and tarot. Because the Rider-Waite-Smith deck is part of the Golden Dawn tradition, this book will also be useful for readers who use any of the Rider-Waite-Smith clones.

This e-book looks at political astrology as it was practiced at the beginning of the 20th century. Raphael (Robert T. Cross) wrote one of the most influential texts on the astrology of states and nations at the beginning of the 20th century. Using Raphael’s brief 1910 text on mundane astrology as a scaffold, the author has revised, corrected and illustrated Raphael's original volume with copious explanations, clarifications, case examples, and modern astrological charts. The Appendices contain a wealth of supplemental information that fleshes out Raphael’s 80-page booklet on world astrology, now in the public domain and adds an historical perspective to Raphael's approach. In his discussion of the Sibly chart for the US Declaration of Independence, Louis suggests that Ebenezer Sibly chose a symbolic time for his USA chart on the basis of the 18th century understanding of mundane astrology. Thus, the Sibly USA chart is yet another symbolic chart for the inception of the United States as a nation.

How can you tell which expression best fits the card? It depends upon where it falls in the spread and the cards that surround or lead up to it. This is explained in the clear but comprehensive section on Tarot card spreads, and is illustrated in the sample readings.
