"Almost every religion uses some form of astrology: some way of thinking about the
sun, moon, stars, and planets and how they hold significance for human lives on earth.
Astrology and Cosmology in the World's Religions offers an accessible overview of
the astrologies of the world's religions, placing them into context within theories
of how the wider universe came into being and operates."--Back cover
