BIOGRAPHY
Aquarius with a Sagittarius ascendant, I started being interested in astrology in 1974. I found the psychological and evolutionary aspects of the subject more compelling, and furthered my knowledge with research into aspects of: medical astrology; redefining the “Vertex point” and ancient theories such as that of the “Arabic Parts”. I have authored books and papers published in the major astrological publications, and have held several conferences and seminars all over Italy and abroad. I have represented Tuscany at the Italian Centre for Astrology (CIDA) since 1999, and I am a member of the Council of Directors of the Association. I regularly host individual and group courses. I live in Florence where I also work as an astrological consultant.

THE SOUL’S ASCENDANT - THE VERTEX POINT IN ASTROLOGY
By Renzo Baldini
 
A unique writing in its genre, “The Soul’s Ascendant. The Vertex Point in Astrology” proposes a new and stimulating method of psychological reading of the birth chart, using the Vertex: the point unanimously agreed to be a complementary ascendant. The writing style is simple yet complete, with explanations as to how to find your own Vertex, its meanings in the Signs, in the Houses and in planetary aspects. You can discover your “occult personality”; which planet permeates your internal, subconscious fibre; with which archetypes your soul is in greatest harmony. An innovative link is explored between personality disorders and the various positions the Vertex can take in the birth chart, which will be useful to those using astrology in a psychoanalytic context.
“The Soul’s Ascendant” contains instructions for the construction of the “Vertex chart”, which could be defined as the “subconscious’ chart”. Several explanations are in the form of famous personalities’ charts , thus completing an original and stimulating study, which opens new frontiers in astrological research and bridges the dialogue gap between astrology and psychoanalysis.

THE ARABIC PARTS
By Renzo Baldini
 
This book, arguably a unique work in the Italian astrological world, explores an ancient interpretational system based on the use of “sensitive points” resulting from simple arithmetic calculations. These points, known as the Arabic Parts (or Fates, as they were called) have not gotten the attention they deserve (with the exception of the Fortune Point and few others). The book proposes a redefinition of the calculation and reading methods of these Parts, providing a simple way of approaching this ancient tool. On top of the Fortune Part and Solar Part (or Spirit Part, as it is known today), another 24 Parts are examined, ranging from Art to Life, Goods to Inheritance, Death, Children, Accidents, Work, Mother, Illness, Marriage, Success, Travel, and more – thus fulfilling the needs of the modern astrologer. Moreover, a new way of using the Fortune and Spirit points together in interpretation is explored. This highlights their value as tools to aid in understanding a person’s evolutionary processes. For each Part there are explanations as to its calculation method, why and how it is used in the Birth Chart and in a Return Chart, illustrated by 73 examples. The book is rounded off by an explanation of the Marriage Part and Illness Part in all the signs.
