Shabbethai Donalo
Shabbethai Donalo Doctor and Astrologer (913-970) was borne in south Italy. At the age og 12 he was coptured (925) by an Arabic Batalion, his relatives had redeem him by paying for him a large amount of money.
At first he educated him self by the medicine discipline, since in those days a part of the diagnosis was done by astrology matters, he thought himself all that were known in this period in his soundings. How ever he decided to widen his knowledge by studying the Greek, Babylonian, and Indian Astrology.
In the city of Baghdad Donalo found a wise man in the name of Bagdsh who was a great scholar in mathematics and astrology, his (Donalo) conclusion about astrology was that the real basics of astrology are written by an Hebrew Talmudic Rabbi by the name of Rabbi D’Shemuel in an essay named Berayita D’rbbi Sehmuel.
Donalo settle dawn in the city named Modina in Italy serving as M.D for forty years, there Donalo wrote books on medicine, medication and astrology among other books he wrote a commentry on the astrology of the Book of Creation “Sefer H’Yetzirah” which by Hebrew tradition was written By Abraham the ancient Hebrew forefather
“ I went to explore the wisdom of the Greeks, the Arabs, the Acadian’s and the Indian’s, I did not rest until I was skilled in all nation astrology wisdom, and I compeard them with the Israelies Astrological knowledge and wisdom, and I find them all equal in there knowledge, Itookup on me to transleate all thoes books, and all my conclusion I wrote in my book “Chckmoni”which is the my commentry on “Sefer hyetzira” See: Shabbethai Donalo,the introduction in “The book Chokmoni”
Iben Ezra
Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089-1164 C.E. Spain) Ibn Ezra was born in Tudela Sapin. He led Spain in 1140,for the next three decades he wandered through Europe, spending time in Rome, Lucca, Rouen, London, and Béziers, Israel.
Ibn Ezra’s literary legacy consists of short and extremely popular handbooks in a wide variety of fields: grammar and poetics, astrology and arithmetic, astronomy and religious speculations, as well as both short and lengthier biblical commentaries.Ibn Ezra wrote following astrological treatises, the most important are:
Beginning of Wisdom.
The Book of Reasons.
The Book of Nativities.
The Book of Elections.
The Book of Lights.
The Book of the world
The Treatise od the AstrolabeAn itroduction the the Book of Muhammed Ibn Al-matani, translated by Ibn Ezra.
A Translation from Arabic into Hebrew of a book by Masha’ allah on the Eclipes of the sun and the Moon
See : The Book of Reasons . translaed by Meira Epstein.
Astrology was one of Ibn Ezra’s major interests, and it plays an important role in his thought ,the central place of astrology in Ibn Ezra’s thought promothed and strnghnd the legitimacy of astrology, in the jewish community, scholars and layman.
There is no difference between Jews and non-Jews with regard to astral governance, in his astrological writings, the Jews are no different from other peoples, in that they too are associated with certain planets and signs; this point was not lost upon his super-commentators. Ibn Ezra’s astrology, like his philosophy overall, is humanist and universal, not Jewish and particularist.
While we are going to assess Ibn Ezra writings, we should bear in mind that Ibn Ezra is not exposing to the reader all his knowledge, on the contrary, the reader is getting the impressing that Ibn Ezra is hiding his knowledge, and revealing bits hear and there, mostly regarding Astrological Astral Magic.
Maimonides
Moshe ben Maimon or Moses Maimonides- The Rambam (March 30, 1135 – December 13, 1204). Maimonides was a Rabbi, Physician, and Philosopher,
he was borne in Spain and died in Israel. Maimonides conducted his work in Spain Moroccoand Egypt and israel.
On face of it, Momonides concept and approach towards, astrology was negative namely, once should not exercises astrology. Maimonides answered an inquiry concerning astrology, addressed to him from Marseille. In this answer to inquiries from scholars of southern France, Maimonides exposes foibles and fallacies of astrology, while touching upon such questions as the sources of knowledge, creation of the world, divine providence and free will, and the Messiah. Inasmuch as this letter was intended for general circulation, with no pretense to esotericism.
Maimonides responded that man should believe only what can be supported either by rational proof, by the evidence of the senses, or by trustworthy authority. He affirms that he had studied astrology, and that it does not deserve to be described as a science. He ridicules the supposition that the fate of a man could be dependent upon the constellations; he argues that such a theory would rob life of purpose, and would make man a slave of destiny.
According to Maimonides the Heberw Astrological wisdome was lost and forgotten during the years in the long past,overviewing cearfully Mimodidas writings we cam learn about the Mimonides duality apparoch , in one aspect the Mimonides sees in Astrology the top of sciences, and on the other hand his stand is against Astrology,
See Shlomo Sela “ Astrology and Biblical Exegesis in Abraham Ibn Ezra’s Thought”
Iben Tzarza and his friends could not assimilate Mimonides opposition to astrology. Looking in to his work they came to the conclusion that so to speak, the Mimonides take a stand against Astrology,but this was only when he was referring to the crowd, to mass of people, however when the Mimonides was speaking to his peoples or to the Intellectual Jewish elite, his views were entirely different.
See : Dov Schwarrtz “Amulets,Properties and rationalism in Medieval Jewish Thoght”
Trachtenberg is another scholar who is supporting this view namely Maimonides was not opposing astrology, his opinion is that Mimonides was accepting the Astrology discipline regarding the Medical use, (in those days every Medicine Doctor was skilled in the astrology discipline) which means Maimonides give his blessing to use astrology for Medical proposes.
See: Trachtenberg, J ‘ “Jewish Magic and Superstition”
Thus Maimonides concept towards Astrology was ambivalent and dual. Maimonides had one concept for the esotericism group of scholars, and another concept for the common layman, which means, only the intellectual elite should exercises Astrology, al the others should stay away from it, because thy wont understand the discipline and material, moreover there is a danger that the common layman will believe in determinism, which will led him a way from the Jewish belief, the Jewish belief is saying:” Everything is Foreseen, but the Permit is Given. This is an Anti-thesis to determinism.
Nahmanides
Nahmanides – Moshe ben Nahman Gerondi -Ramban (1194-1270) was a Biblical commentator, Kabbalist, Philosopher and Physician.
Nahmanides studied medicine which he practiced as a means of livelihood; he also studied philosophy In his writings Nahmanides reveals a conservative tendency that distinguished his later works — an unbounded respect for the earlier authorities.In the view of Nahmanides, the wisdom of the rabbis of the Mishnah and Talmud, as well as the Geonim (rabbis of the early medieval era) was unquestionable.
Nahmanides was an adversary of Rabbi Abraham Ib Ezra. Nahmanides disagrees with him; especially with regard to Kabballa (Jewish mysticism), which is considered part of the normative Jewish tradition. Notwithstanding, he had tremendous respect for ibn Ezra, as is evidenced in his introduction to his commentary on the Five books of Moses.
Nahmanides formed part of the Spanish school of Cabalists. He was intruded into the Gnostic type of mysticism that had hitherto reigned in Jewish mysticism. This Gnostic mysticism had originated in a rabbinic gnosis of the 1st and 2d centuries A.D.The Neoplatonic trend of Nahmanides’s mysticism centered on the sefirot, or “soul” or “inner life,” of the hidden transcendent God. On this basis Nahmanides formed his mystical theory of history
Nahmanides was a key figur in Kabblistic esoteric persona in Spanish 13th century.Regarding his astrological atettude Nahmanides wrote a stating that while one may not ask an astrologer for a prediction, astrology itself is real. He states rules that one must ultimately trust in God, and not in any lesser force. As such, he concludes that one is forbidden to ask an astrologer for a prediction, but one may act on the words of an astrologer if advice is freely given. Ultimately he holds that while the stars give a person certain inclinations, people have the ability to overcome their own inclinations, and thus maintains free will.
Thus it is adviseble to emphesiss that the persons who were infulensive of Nahmanides concepet were Ibn Ezra and Yhuda Halevy

Tarot cards comprise of twenty-one trump cards, the fool and 1 supplemental face card for every other suits in the deck. Zones about Europe employ the deck to amusement with established rules, howeverin English-chatting states, tarot cards can be discovered in the zone of fortunetelling.
The tarot cards commenced also with other cards in the 1300s. History people recommend that they were invented in Islamic states, although the initial actual material in the English-chatting sphere is the Christian terrain of Bern, Switzerland. The older tarot cards consisted of only 16 trump cards as compared to twenty-one in intricate decks.
A typical tarot deck contains 78 cards consisting of the four suits seen in regular card games, which are hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. The Latin version of the tarot deck has a different set of suits. They are swords, batons, cups, and coins. Like a regular deck, tarot cards are numbered from one to ten plus the four court cards; jack, queen, king, and ace.
The difference between a tarot deck and the regular deck is the twenty-one divinity cards known as Major Arcana. A joker equivalent in the tarot deck is called the Fool, or the excuse. The Fool can take all four suits and acts as the strongest trump card.
Meaning is assigned to each card in a tarot deck; however, the specifics of interpretation are impacted by the layout of the cards, whether they are upright or reversed, and the interpreter’s own reading. Many of the cards in the major arcana, the trump cards, are fairly logical. The Lovers represent love, in some capacity, while Strength is symbolic of courage and drive. Each of the cards in the minor arcana also carries meaning when used for divination, based on both the numeric value of the card and which suit it is. Meanings of each card can be found online, in books, or simply by interpreting the images on the card.
Face to face tarot readings are interactive in a sense that the reader allows the person to determine which face down card is interpreted by the reader. Face to face readings are commonly found in the streets of many different places in the English-speaking world. In England, there is a going rate of £12.50 per person, but the price drastically decreases depending on the number of people paying for the service. Some offer the service in the comfort of one’s own home, while some offer it on the street for cheaper rates as well.
There is a purist belief that face to face readings are significantly more accurate than other types of readings such as e-mail readings or phone readings, but of course the general destiny of these beliefs is to be completely unfounded like all other astrological arguments.
Phone readings are available on the Internet for approximately £5.00 per reading. Perhaps it is significantly cheaper than face to face readings due to the lack of mystique and personal/visual connection with the reader himself. While the past presented interested parties with the option of calling a phone line, the Internet now offers international calls for the same price, and if one is interested, one can acquire a reading through credit card of PayPal.
The popular reputation of phone readings is that the impersonal nature of the transaction weakens the link, although this can also be attributed to the absence of mystique from the service.
Tarot cards have been around for centuries and have been used in many cultures for the purposes of divination. There are a variety of card layouts, and there are several different card reading methods that card readers use. The interpretation of Tarot Cards is based on the card position and the various symbols in each card.

Human relationships form the basic core of our existence and the stronger the bonds are with our loved ones, the more we feel content and satisfied with life. However, most of us need to realize that no relationship can be taken for granted, be it between parent and child, friends, couples and for that matter any relationship at all needs nurturing. Among all these bonds, that between couples is perhaps the most delicate yet strongest one. Like all other bonds, this relationship too needs constant assurance and strengthening with ingredients like trust, care, faith and of course, romance. Feng Shui romance tips can be potent tool in enhancing your love life. You could use these tips to attract love into your life or to strengthen the bonds of an already existing relationship.
Feng Shui romance tips use the ancient Chinese methods to improve the personal relationship aspect of our lives, which is a crucial part of an individual’s existence. Simple tips and minor adjustments in our immediate environment can bring about astounding results. As for example, artwork and visual artifacts tends to have a strong impression on our mind.

It is also strongly recommended under Feng Shui romance tips that electronic items like the television set are best removed from the bedroom. The electronic signals sent out by the objects could spread negative vibes and create problems for the couple using the bedroom. Also a king sized bed may appear to be more spacious and comfortable; however, it is not ideal for symbolizing intimacy between a couple. It would therefore be better to downsize your bed to a queen-sized one. Also, ensure that your bed is not pushed against the wall from one side and there should be sufficient space to walk up to the bed from either side.
Feng Shui romance tips also include the creation of your personal ‘relationship gua’. If you keep your entrance door as the reference point, the far right hand side corner of the room will be your ‘relationship gua’ and this corner should be decorated in an intimate and cozy manner with the perfect décor and lighting. Colors are also an integral part of our lives and according to Feng Shui, warm colors like pink, rose and coral can greatly enhance your love life.

Exploring the possibility of romance between the 12 animal signs is a very interesting and entertaining way of using a Chinese horoscope. If the love match says that 2 animal signs are compatible, it translates into the happy occasion of love or marriage or romance.
Triangles of Affinity/ Romance Compatibility Triangles
There are four triangles of affinity. The 12 animal signs are divided between these. On the basis of similar thinking patterns and general compatibility, 3 animal signs constitute each triangle.
An atmosphere of harmony, success and endurance in romance is assured between the 3 animals belonging to the same triangle. Happiness is doubled because of similar interests, hobbies, tastes, mutual understanding; a scorching sexual intimacy adds that special spark to the romance.
Minor disputes and niggling problems will always be there. But on the whole, there is a high chance of a long, durable and stable union. These 3 compatible animal signs should go ahead with marriage if there is romance in the air.
This does not however mean that, romantic relations cannot exist between all the Chinese astrology signs.
Horse, Dog and Tiger
Obviously, the most loyal and transparent of the trio is the dog, but it is lacking in the mobility of the horse. Liberty is what they thrive on. They are defiant and like to rebel against injustice, they are full of life, energetic, high spirited, honest, affectionate, loyal, impulsive, idealistic, skilful communicators and love to serve others.
Dragon, Monkey and Rat
They are performance oriented people who love to take initiatives. This group constitutes the most positive and competitive people of the four triangles, with the whole trio being action oriented. They share complementary characteristic traits.
They are commonly perceived as intense, passionate, restless, energetic, dynamic, ambitious, imaginative, and innovative by people. They can’t look beyond progress.
For e.g. Dragon’s courage compensates for rat’s timidity. Monkey and rat possess a lot of cunning. But this negative quality is absent in dragon’s character.
Sheep, Pig and Rabbit
They have a keen sense of aesthetics and are very sensitive. Intelligence is not their forte, but they can be humble. All three of them are flexible, dependent on others, diplomatic, creative with an artistic bent of mind, calm and cool-headed, expressive, intuitive, sensual, emotional, peace loving and seekers of beauty and love.
Snake, Rooster and Ox
They also are endowed with complementary traits like the animal personalities in the 1st triangle of affinity. They are always focused on their goals and ambitions; defeat is something that shatters them. Profoundly thoughtful, meticulous, systematic, determined, dedicated, purposeful, these people are supposed to be steadfast, intellectual, independent-minded, slow but sure and dutiful.
Romance Incompatibility
Romance between snake and pig, dog and dragon, rooster and rabbit, monkey and tiger, sheep and ox and horse and rat is difficult, might turn out to be disastrous and thoroughly sorrowful and it is best to avoid such a match.

The teachings found in the Element Cards, the minor arcana—Ace to 10 only—focus on the lessons experienced in mundane or every day life. These lessons are presented as a “spirit walk.” As the spirit walk begins, we are standing at the foot of Tarot Holy Mountain. Each face or side of the mountain is connected to an aspect of ancestral wisdom and spiritual evolution.
We begin our spirit walk by climbing Tarot Holy Mountain one step at a time, learning to explore the four elements of our lives: mind, ego, emotions, and body. In the east we enter the landscape of the mind and meet the first holy element: air, represented by the Sword of Illumination. The suit of swords represents the Mind, the attitudes we hold in life. Emphasis is placed on learning to balance this masculine energy by centering it and begin “feeling” with the mind. The ancestral wisdom of air reminds us that life experiences, whether of a supportive or problematic nature, happen in pairs; if we can experience happiness, somewhere in our lives we will experience sadness; love-hate, success-failure, birth-death, gain-loss. By understanding this basic nature of life, we learn how not to “lose” our “heads” to any given situation, but remain calm and centered.
The second face of Tarot Holy Mountain is the lesson of fire/wands. Here we enter the landscape of ego- will power. Wands represents willpower/ego or little self, placing emphasis on the masks we wear and how we use our power. This suit teaches us the ancestral wisdom to be aware of our control issues, learning how to find balance between ego and Sacred Self, warning against using excessive control, as well as warning against surrendering personal power.
On the west-face of Tarot Holy Mountain we enter the landscape of the heart, connecting with the lesson of water/cups, which represents the emotional body. This feminine element is directed toward the heart center and relationships. The ancestral wisdom taught here is to learn to “think” with the heart, to achieve emotional balance, and move into sacred relationship with self-first before others.
Lastly, the fourth side of Tarot Holy Mountain is the suit of earth, the landscape of instinct—the body, containing the coin, or “Faery gold”. The suit of pentacles embraces the lessons of the three other Elements by merging them in the ancestral wisdom of cycles. Here we learn the natural law of giving and receiving, moving into a mode of abundance, one based on nature rather than extreme materialism. Through the natural laws of this physical realm, issues surrounding prosperity and poverty consciousness are explored, and respect toward nature and our natural resources emphasized. We are reminded to get back in touch with the primal land.
To understand Tarot Holy Mountain better, let us look at it as if it were a wheel, one that is connected to the seasonal year. Using the compass or a circle divided into four parts, each part is connected to one of the cardinal directions: east-south-north-west. Each Element suit has a place on this wheel, in connection to a cardinal point of energy. In the East we have the element suit of air/swords; in the South we have fire/wands; the West is water/cups, and in the North is found earth/pentacles. Using correspondences with Tarot is very helpful because they give additional material to draw from when giving a reading.
For example: if you wanted to know what season an event might take place, the Ace of each suit could be used to determine the season, i.e. Swords would be spring, Wands-summer, Cups-autumn, and Pentacles -winter.
A predominance of fire/wands cards in a reading could give an indication as to something happening around mid-day, with air/swords cards indicating early morning, water/cups cards indicating evening, and earth/pentacles cards indicating nighttime. Correspondences add depth to a reading. They become food for the mind. They prompt deeper psychic attunement.
The system of Tarot is ideally a system designed for self-transformation. As already reviewed each side of Tarot Holy Mountain pertains to our basic life. We learn the lessons of each Element suit and deal with what’s learned from our perspective of life, from “being there.” In essence each suit represents an aspect of human relationship, whether with self, others, the planet, or Spirit.
The air/swords is a suit that has gotten a bum rap because it is presented as the more negative cards of the lesser secrets. This suit contains messages of danger, warnings, frustration, sorrow, depression, death, accidents, hostile forces, and setbacks. Yet, the swords contain a very important teaching, which is why they are the first suit of the Tarot. While they are what we might call our “wake up call,” when an air card comes up it’s because we’re saying to ourselves, snap out of it. One is reminded that there is choice. One can either choose to experience the negative aspect of the card or look at options and make changes, thereby moving into a different direction.
The fire/wands deal with the basic understanding of power—willpower, ego—politics, aspects of commerce. The wands represent conflicts, personality conflicts, successes and failures, winning or losing. Basically the wands represent the games of life, the face we show to the world, the mask we wear, our pretenses, attitudes that we sometimes use to cover-up our own sense of insecurity or fear.
The suit of water/cups deals with the heart, emotions, about love and good feelings. Yet, sometimes cups will also highlight imbalance within our emotions, where we’re sinking, where we’re wallowing in self-pity. They also deal with relationship with self, relationships with other people, all the way from familiar relationships through romance through work relationships—children, romance, sex, love, marriage, and so on.
Earth/pentacles move into the physical, the possession aspect of life, money, inheritances, real estate, gifts, giving and receiving cycle, as well as our stinginess, and our sharing ability. Understanding whether we function in abundance or scarcity consciousness.
Learning to Spirit Walk with the Tarot promises great insight into WHO you really are.

If you do not know much about astrology, you may wonder what are horoscopes based on and how astrologers are able to know so much about your personality. There are many different varieties of astrology all over the world and even Western astrology has many different methods. Mundane astrology is used to predict events that affect a large group of people such as a country or the entire world. Although there are different types of astrology, as an individual, when most people think of a horoscope, they are thinking of Natal astrology.
Natal astrology may work a couple of ways. You can open up almost any newspaper and find your horoscope for the day. This is based purely on your zodiac sign. Your zodiac sign is determined by what constellation the sun was in on the day you were born. We all know the Earth revolves around the sun and as it does, it seems like the sun moves across this celestial sphere. Astrologers and astronomers both used the celestial sphere to determine astronomical measurements such as constellations. The path the sun follows is known as the ecliptic. So, when you check to see your sign based on your birthday, you know that the sun was in that constellation at the time of your birth.
The horoscopes you read in newspapers and magazines are not nearly as accurate as having an individual reading by an astrologer. A horoscope reading that is based on the exact day and time of your birth as well as your birth city is much more personalized. Once the astrologer has your birth information, he or she will convert your information into Greenwich Mean Time then consult a table, the ephemeris, to see the location of the planets, Sun, and Moon during your time of birth. A house of tables is used to divide the horoscope into twelve divisions, one for each sign of the zodiac.
As the astrologer plots the information on your chart, your horoscope begins to make a little more sense. Each sign of the zodiac has a different type of energy. Depending on things like your rising sign and the position of the planets, Moon, and Sun as well as the degree to which your sign falls into that particular house, your horoscope can tell you many things about yourself.
A well-written horoscope birth chart will tell you both positive and negative aspects about yourself. You may find that you are a very sociable person, but very jealous in relationships. A horoscope should be used to help you appreciate the positive aspects of your personality as well as focus correcting the negative aspects if possible. Sometimes it takes something like a horoscope to point out any problems you may have.
If you cannot visit an astrologer, you can get a personalize horoscope reading online.

Horoscope matchmaking is deeply rooted in the Hindu culture. They call it Kundli matchmaking and singles from all over are able to find all they have ever wanted in relationships. According to astrologers, the horoscopes of couples who want to get married must be matched because a lot is at stake. It has a lot to do with the movement of the stars in our universe and just like lots of harmony has been achieved; we can learn from the stars and look for compatible mates to make life better. Astrologers are qualified to make sure that the right horoscope matches are achieved. Horoscope matchmaking is believed to be even more important that matching of blood groups for couples. Couples, who have blood groups that do not match, risk their health and progeny. But, for people who are astrologically mismatched, they risk their health, wealth, happiness, success, peace of mind and the list is long.
This is the reason why a good astrologer is called in to make sure that the couple is good to go. Horoscope matchmaking is gaining more and more popularity in western countries and, couples are ever so concerned. The following are five major aspects that are checked to ensure two horoscopes are suitable for each other. Longevity tops the list. This is checked for both the boy and girl and, if there is a difference, there is no need for the couple to be matched. The other thing is mental make up or nature. This touches on stability and soundness of the two horoscopes. Their mental wavelength must be at per with each other and appear to match. When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. They guy who is hot tempered needs a girl who can put a lid on the steam. If the girl is to hot tempered too, the relationship will never work. It will be constrained and result to separation.
This kind of matchmaking is able to weed out some of these aspects, to ensure that it is only those relationships that will last are formed. Another aspect is progeny. This is very vital in almost all cultures of the world. It is the ability to give birth to healthy children. Every young woman or girl dreams of these and through this matchmaking, they will know exactly what is in store. The astrologer has to see at least one child in the relationship for the horoscopes to match. A horoscope match will consider the general health of the couple. They must not have any crippling disease or fatal accident in their future. This is a radical way of keeping misfortunes where they belong. Life is not often very kind but, if you choose to see it in a positive light and wish for good things in your match or relationship, then this kind of matchmaking is for you. Horoscopes must not show seperative tendencies. The tendencies may include divorce, or very long separation. You should try this kind of matchmaking because you can discover a lot about yourself and your match.

Astrology in Judaism Speculum Vol Iv- the Medieval Period
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Shabbethai Donalo Doctor and Astrologer (913-970) was borne in south Italy. At the age og 12 he was coptured (925) by an Arabic Batalion, his relatives had redeem him by paying for him a large amount of money.
At first he educated him self by the medicine discipline, since in those days a part of the diagnosis was done by astrology matters, he thought himself all that were known in this period in his soundings. How ever he decided to widen his knowledge by studying the Greek, Babylonian, and Indian Astrology.
In the city of Baghdad Donalo found a wise man in the name of Bagdsh who was a great scholar in mathematics and astrology, his (Donalo) conclusion about astrology was that the real basics of astrology are written by an Hebrew Talmudic Rabbi by the name of Rabbi D’Shemuel in an essay named Berayita D’rbbi Sehmuel.
Donalo settle dawn in the city named Modina in Italy serving as M.D for forty years, there Donalo wrote books on medicine, medication and astrology among other books he wrote a commentry on the astrology of the Book of Creation “Sefer H’Yetzirah” which by Hebrew tradition was written By Abraham the ancient Hebrew forefather
“ I went to explore the wisdom of the Greeks, the Arabs, the Acadian’s and the Indian’s, I did not rest until I was skilled in all nation astrology wisdom, and I compeard them with the Israelies Astrological knowledge and wisdom, and I find them all equal in there knowledge, Itookup on me to transleate all thoes books, and all my conclusion I wrote in my book “Chckmoni”which is the my commentry on “Sefer hyetzira” See: Shabbethai Donalo,the introduction in “The book Chokmoni”
Iben Ezra
Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089-1164 C.E. Spain) Ibn Ezra was born in Tudela Sapin. He led Spain in 1140,for the next three decades he wandered through Europe, spending time in Rome, Lucca, Rouen, London, and Béziers, Israel.
Ibn Ezra’s literary legacy consists of short and extremely popular handbooks in a wide variety of fields: grammar and poetics, astrology and arithmetic, astronomy and religious speculations, as well as both short and lengthier biblical commentaries.Ibn Ezra wrote following astrological treatises, the most important are:
Beginning of Wisdom.
The Book of Reasons.
The Book of Nativities.
The Book of Elections.
The Book of Lights.
The Book of the world
The Treatise od the AstrolabeAn itroduction the the Book of Muhammed Ibn Al-matani, translated by Ibn Ezra.
A Translation from Arabic into Hebrew of a book by Masha’ allah on the Eclipes of the sun and the Moon
See : The Book of Reasons . translaed by Meira Epstein.
Astrology was one of Ibn Ezra’s major interests, and it plays an important role in his thought ,the central place of astrology in Ibn Ezra’s thought promothed and strnghnd the legitimacy of astrology, in the jewish community, scholars and layman.
There is no difference between Jews and non-Jews with regard to astral governance, in his astrological writings, the Jews are no different from other peoples, in that they too are associated with certain planets and signs; this point was not lost upon his super-commentators. Ibn Ezra’s astrology, like his philosophy overall, is humanist and universal, not Jewish and particularist.
While we are going to assess Ibn Ezra writings, we should bear in mind that Ibn Ezra is not exposing to the reader all his knowledge, on the contrary, the reader is getting the impressing that Ibn Ezra is hiding his knowledge, and revealing bits hear and there, mostly regarding Astrological Astral Magic.
Maimonides
Moshe ben Maimon or Moses Maimonides- The Rambam (March 30, 1135 – December 13, 1204). Maimonides was a Rabbi, Physician, and Philosopher,
he was borne in Spain and died in Israel. Maimonides conducted his work in Spain Moroccoand Egypt and israel.
On face of it, Momonides concept and approach towards, astrology was negative namely, once should not exercises astrology. Maimonides answered an inquiry concerning astrology, addressed to him from Marseille. In this answer to inquiries from scholars of southern France, Maimonides exposes foibles and fallacies of astrology, while touching upon such questions as the sources of knowledge, creation of the world, divine providence and free will, and the Messiah. Inasmuch as this letter was intended for general circulation, with no pretense to esotericism.
Maimonides responded that man should believe only what can be supported either by rational proof, by the evidence of the senses, or by trustworthy authority. He affirms that he had studied astrology, and that it does not deserve to be described as a science. He ridicules the supposition that the fate of a man could be dependent upon the constellations; he argues that such a theory would rob life of purpose, and would make man a slave of destiny.
According to Maimonides the Heberw Astrological wisdome was lost and forgotten during the years in the long past,overviewing cearfully Mimodidas writings we cam learn about the Mimonides duality apparoch , in one aspect the Mimonides sees in Astrology the top of sciences, and on the other hand his stand is against Astrology,
See Shlomo Sela “ Astrology and Biblical Exegesis in Abraham Ibn Ezra’s Thought”
Iben Tzarza and his friends could not assimilate Mimonides opposition to astrology. Looking in to his work they came to the conclusion that so to speak, the Mimonides take a stand against Astrology,but this was only when he was referring to the crowd, to mass of people, however when the Mimonides was speaking to his peoples or to the Intellectual Jewish elite, his views were entirely different.
See : Dov Schwarrtz “Amulets,Properties and rationalism in Medieval Jewish Thoght”
Trachtenberg is another scholar who is supporting this view namely Maimonides was not opposing astrology, his opinion is that Mimonides was accepting the Astrology discipline regarding the Medical use, (in those days every Medicine Doctor was skilled in the astrology discipline) which means Maimonides give his blessing to use astrology for Medical proposes.
See: Trachtenberg, J ‘ “Jewish Magic and Superstition”
Thus Maimonides concept towards Astrology was ambivalent and dual. Maimonides had one concept for the esotericism group of scholars, and another concept for the common layman, which means, only the intellectual elite should exercises Astrology, al the others should stay away from it, because thy wont understand the discipline and material, moreover there is a danger that the common layman will believe in determinism, which will led him a way from the Jewish belief, the Jewish belief is saying:” Everything is Foreseen, but the Permit is Given. This is an Anti-thesis to determinism.
Nahmanides
Nahmanides – Moshe ben Nahman Gerondi -Ramban (1194-1270) was a Biblical commentator, Kabbalist, Philosopher and Physician.
Nahmanides studied medicine which he practiced as a means of livelihood; he also studied philosophy In his writings Nahmanides reveals a conservative tendency that distinguished his later works — an unbounded respect for the earlier authorities.In the view of Nahmanides, the wisdom of the rabbis of the Mishnah and Talmud, as well as the Geonim (rabbis of the early medieval era) was unquestionable.
Nahmanides was an adversary of Rabbi Abraham Ib Ezra. Nahmanides disagrees with him; especially with regard to Kabballa (Jewish mysticism), which is considered part of the normative Jewish tradition. Notwithstanding, he had tremendous respect for ibn Ezra, as is evidenced in his introduction to his commentary on the Five books of Moses.
Nahmanides formed part of the Spanish school of Cabalists. He was intruded into the Gnostic type of mysticism that had hitherto reigned in Jewish mysticism. This Gnostic mysticism had originated in a rabbinic gnosis of the 1st and 2d centuries A.D.The Neoplatonic trend of Nahmanides’s mysticism centered on the sefirot, or “soul” or “inner life,” of the hidden transcendent God. On this basis Nahmanides formed his mystical theory of history
Nahmanides was a key figur in Kabblistic esoteric persona in Spanish 13th century.Regarding his astrological atettude Nahmanides wrote a stating that while one may not ask an astrologer for a prediction, astrology itself is real. He states rules that one must ultimately trust in God, and not in any lesser force. As such, he concludes that one is forbidden to ask an astrologer for a prediction, but one may act on the words of an astrologer if advice is freely given. Ultimately he holds that while the stars give a person certain inclinations, people have the ability to overcome their own inclinations, and thus maintains free will.
Thus it is adviseble to emphesiss that the persons who were infulensive of Nahmanides concepet were Ibn Ezra and Yhuda Halevy
