Comment: In the foreword, it says: The preparatory work of this book (in the German original version) was begun in the autumn of 1983.... Our purpose in writing this book was not so much to make an astrological prognosis, as it was to demonstrate techniques. As for prognostications, we are pleased to have recognized the difficult political situation facing Bonn at the time of the new Moon in April 1985. American President Ronald Reagan's visit to the military graveyard at Bitberg remains in our memory of forecasts. Also his re-election as President in November 1984 was clearly shown by us. (pg. 2)

Comment:

The opening chapters give an overview of Cosmobiology. Then follows many case studies, mostly of people who had unexpected endings. The famous names in the list above are taken from the newspapers, the others are from the author's own files, either as clients or as contacts. For each natus the author provides their traditional natal chart (Koch houses), the 90 degree chart, midpoint trees, as well as 90 biwheel charts (natal inside, accident outside) & 45 degree graphic ephemerides of the accident/incident in question.

A useful book.

AFA, 208 pages, oversize.

Comment: From the introduction: "The proclamation of Destiny and Free Will is raising continuous questions of every astrologer...how much is Destiny and how much is Free Will? Again and again the question arises: Could this accident or this particular event have been avoided?....After an incident has occurred, retracing the correlation of the planets with the event is a simple matter, but it is a necessary step in the process of research. I have gathered authentic information surrounding these tragic moments and will now give a brief account of how accurately Cosmobiology mirrors this experience." (pg. 1)

For the many case studies, the author provides 90 degree dials, solar arc directions, midpoints, graphic ephemerides, planetary trees, etc.

Comment: From the introduction: "The true subtleties of astrology are expressed through the combinations of symbolic energy. Human experience is not linear. Its basis is simplistic, but in its expression it is complex and minutely integrated.... The astrologer, like the conductor, pulls all the influences together and guides them into melodic form....The astrologer, too, must have an intimate in-depth sensitivity to and understanding of each sign, house, and fundamental sensitive point (i.e., luminaries, planets and ecliptic points) in order to create meaningful delineations."
