This little work is designed to instruct the mind as yet unacquainted with the phenomena of eclipses, and to counteract the prejudice which affirms without examination that these phenomena are in no way connected with mundane events. In dealing with my subject I shall have occasion to speak of eclipses of the Sun and Moon not only in their physical causative relations, but also in their symbolical and prognostic relations. If we can show that there are definite physical effects attending eclipses of the luminaries, it should be an easy matter to entertain the possibility that they may also have an effect in the psychic and mental sphere of our life, owing to the known relationship of mentality and organism.

That eclipses may have, further, a symbolical and prognostic value, follows from the fact that they can be calculated in advance, not only as regards the celestial position in which they occur, but also the mundane locality in which they will be witnessed, their duration and dimensions. For if we regard man as related upon all sides to his greater environment, represented by the celestial amphisphere, we may rationally suspect that changes taking place in that environment will produce in him a variety of corresponding changes and modifications.

And we have no reason to suppose that all eclipses will act upon him alike, seeing that they occur in different parts of the heavens and from different signs and constellations. Only from like causes we must argue like effects, and all that remains for us is to show that this is the case. In this way it is possible to build up an astrologia sana as far removed from the superstition of the popular mind as most natural phenomena are from the folk-lore connected with them when they are properly studied and scientifically regarded.

The work here presented is intended to be an introduction to the proper study of eclipses rather than a complete exposition either in theory or practice. It is, in short, intended to show what eclipses are, how they are caused, the means of calculating them with adequate accuracy, and finally of finding a logical place for them in our scheme of thought as a part of that Cosmic Symbolism by which the Divine Intelligence is rendered to us intelligible.
