Welcome to Renaissance Astrology, the premier website for traditional astrology and astrological magic since 2000. Astrology, a spiritual science, is the study of the cycles of the fixed stars and planets and their relationship to events on Earth and is one of the three Hermetic arts of astrology, alchemy and magic traditionally attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, the Thrice Great Hermes. From its historical origins 4,000 years ago in Babylonia and Chaldea astrology developed into an art of great complexity, capable of detailed and precise predictions.
Astrologers and mages like Cornelius Agrippa and Marsilio Ficino using the fabled grimoire Picatrix brought traditional astrology using astrological magic to create astrological talismans and bringing the Hermetic Arts of astrology and magic to their greatest heights in the Renaissance.
With the rebirth of the actual techniques of Renaissance astrology, concrete and specific prediction of actual events with astrological readings including horary astrology and natal readings as well as precise, pinpoint elections of dates and times and the beauty and harmony of Renaissance astrological talismans and astrological magic as well as astrology and astrological books and specialized astrological software for traditional astrology are available from Christopher Warnock, the preeminent astrological magician and a leading traditional astrologer.
Begin your journey into traditional astrology and traditional astrological magic at the Renaissance Astrology website with over 600 pages of examples, explanations and translations of traditional texts. Surf the site and buy books to learn on your own or through courses or get authentic readings and talismans.
Astrological talismans, pentacles and amulets can be seen as embodying one or more celestial spirits or as containing the magical charge of a planet, fixed star, or other celestial factor like the decan/faces or Mansions of the Moon. The key to authentic astrological talismans is the careful choice of an astrological auspicious time to create the talisman using electional astrology and consecrating the talisman by calling the appropriate angel or spirit into the talisman, also at the elected time.
Only Renaissance Astrology offers authentically made astrological talismans designed, elected and created under the supervision of the world's leading traditional astrological magician Christopher Warnock. All talismans are made in limited editions and are only available for a limited time. Take a look at the currently available talismans and currently available pentacles and learn how to choose a talisman based on your goals and your natal chart.

The British Museum was founded in 1753 and is one of the largest and most important museums in the world with its comprehensive collections totaling over seven million objects. It has one of the foremost collections in the world of magical items and objects. Renaissance Astrology is proud that two of its authentic astrological talismans have been made a part of the permanent collection of the British Museum.
The Mercury table talisman and the Venus table talisman are described as "Twenty-first century version of a silver Hebrew Renaissance style planetary talisman based upon a design first described by Cornelius Agrippa in 1531." The addition of Renaissance Astrology talismans to the British Museum shows our committment to traditional astrology and traditional philosophy and to preserving and teaching this ancient art.
Renaissance Astrology offers a wide variety of Astrological Readings, including horary astrology, natal astrology and electional astrology using the authentic methods of the traditional astrology of the European Middle Ages and Renaissance.
All readings are done personally by Christopher Warnock, a leading traditional astrologer and while the most modern, up to date software is used for the maximum accuracy in creating astrological charts and horoscopes, all interpretation and prediction is done individually by hand for each client and chart. All readings are done initially in writing and include both the astrological factors considered and the prediction and interpretation. Once the client receives the written reading, the practical implications can be discussed via phone or e-mail, if desired.
