Drawing on Frankland's two books, author Anthony Louis explores Frankland's discoveries in detail, sharing numerous examples that demonstrate how inclusive and uncomplicated these methods can be. Secrets of Predictive Astrology covers Frankland's desire to forecast more than traditional techniques allow and his subsequent research of texts by Claudius Ptolemy and Alan Leo.
