Morandi's Last Prophecy and the End of Renaissance Politics

This book probes both the history, the positive attributes and restraints of ancient astrology, and hints at why it was inevitable that astrology would shed its wishy-washy, fatalistic nature and resurface as a modern psychological tool for self-understanding. However the amount of ancient astro-lingo got in my way of enjoying this as an introductory book, so I'm giving this book 3.5/5 stars.
