Bayer, George

TURNING FOUR HUNDRED YEARS OF ASTROLOGY TO PRACTICAL USE AND OTHER MATTERS

Carmel, California: George Bayer, 1944. First edition. Octavo: [8], 184 p. with a frontispiece and textual illustrations. Original brown cloth binding, with gilt titles. Holographic notations to a concluding blank leaf, with a period bookseller’s ink stamp to the rear pastedown. A bit of smudging and wear along the edges. The boards are shelfworn and unevenly faded, with some general soiling and faint staining.

An insightful analysis and synthesis of 400 years of astrological tradition with an emphasis on the applications to financial markets. Bayer was a German-born astrologer and stock trader who made market forecasts during the same time as W.D. Gann.
