Review Quotes
"Mundane astrology is the oldest and most complex branch of the art. It is notoriously difficult, as it requires its practitioners to have a handle not only on a specialized set of astrological techniques but also on the social studies of history, geography, civics & economics. Because of this, it is considered by many to be the capstone of the astrological edifice.
John Michael Greer's The Astrology of Nations has everything one might need to understand and practice mundane astrology. No prior knowledge of astrology is needed, as Greer guides the reader from the mundane interpretations of the planets and houses to the overlay of lunations and eclipses against the radical ingress chart.
Greer thoughtfully includes a developed 'cookbook'-style reference section, delineating the planets in houses and aspect, making this a great resource for the student. The proficient astrologer will also find plenty of novel insights and observations. Illuminating case studies and predictions illustrate the range and scope of the art.
John Michael Greer's The Astrology of Nations offers great insight into understanding the cosmic forces that govern terrestrial events and phenomena."
Jaime Paul Lamb, author of The Astrological Goetia: The 72 Keys to Angelic and Demonic Astrology."The Astrology of Nations is a masterclass in mundane astrology and a new classic for an emerging generation of astrologers and astrological magicians. True to the accessible style of John Michael Greer's esoteric ouvre, this text is informative, important, and a joy to read. It takes its place among the most significant volumes of the astrological art and should no doubt occupy a similar position on the bookshelves of both novice and expert practitioners."
- Ike Baker, author of A Formless Fire: Rediscovering the Magical Traditions of the West (2024, Tria Prima Press) and host of the ARCANVM podcast and YouTube channel
"Amid today's global upheaval and uncertainty, The Astrology of Nations is a perfectly timed guide to the celestial influences shaping the rise and fall of civilizations and geopolitical events.
