This posthumous book (published by his nephew) is the final work written by Blagrave who had a profound belief in the virtues of astrology. He has published several scientific books and other works as early as 1658. His youthful years were spent in the study of astronomy and astrology, afterwards in philosophy and the practice of physic and he once wrote: "Without some knowledge in astronomy one can be no astrologer, and without knowledge in astrology one can be no philosopher, and without knowledge both in astrology and philosophy one can be no good physician"
