Through history, astrology has been used to predict the future. This book presents the principles behind that age old discipline, applied to world events as well as personal destinies.What the 2013 world horoscope predicts for the year is thoroughly explained. So are the astrological forecasts for each of the twelve Zodiac signs (sun signs), based on the New Year horoscope and the continued movements of the planets in 2013.A full personal forecast is done with the complete birth chart. But that's impossible in a book, where predictions based on the sun signs constitute the best alternative. That may be enlightening, too, and opens the door to what astrology and the horoscope can reveal.Stefan Stenudd is a Swedish author who has written several bestselling books about astrology since the 1970's. He has also written books about myth, the Tarot, life energy concepts, Ancient Greek cosmology, and the Japanese martial arts. His fiction, too, deals with cosmological and existential themes.
