Pagan
was a leading Scottish astrologer and Theosophist during the late 19th and early 20th century. The book, a precursor to Linda Goodman's Sun Sign
book, was written when Alan Leo was reformatting astrology, but before Charles
Carter's earliest books.As this was
prior to the days of computers and snap editing and publishing, Pagan's
thoughts had to be carefully considered and recorded. Her book is filled with
unique perspectives and personal observation. There is an aura of ancient wisdom in the book
that is missing from contemporary writing. Each sign is divided into
categories: Ruler; Evolved and Primitive Types; Love and Friendship; In Drama
and Fiction; In Real Life; Literary Style; Religion; Physical Characteristics;
Health. From Pioneer to Poet includes
each of the twelve signs of the zodiac. For each sign there are thoughtful
quotations prefacing the chapters. Historical figures are written about in
relation to the zodiacal sign under which they were born including their
ascendants and sun and moon signs.
