What is the shape of fate-and how has it been imagined, reasoned, and practised across time? The Shape of Fate offers a wide-ranging philosophical exploration of one of humanity's oldest and most enduring concerns. From Plato's cosmic harmonies to modern debates on determinism, this book examines how thinkers across centuries have defined, defended, and challenged the idea of fate. Central to this inquiry is the astrological tradition, which demonstrates its historical entanglement with philosophical and theological thought. Here, astrology is treated as a conceptual framework through which questions of freedom, causality, and cosmic participation have been explored. Both scholarly and reflective, this book invites readers to consider fate not as a static doctrine, but as a shape-shifter across contexts, cultures, and centuries, yet persistently present in the human endeavour to find meaning in one's life.

Bernadette Brady is a professional astrologer who holds a Masters degree in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from Bath Spa University, England. Her research work in fixed stars is contained in her innovative book Brady's Book of Fixed Stars (Samuel Weiser, 1998) in which she suggests a return to the visual use of stars. From these ideas Bernadette co-authored the visual astrology software package Starlight (Zyntara Publications 2002). Bernadette's journey continues in this new book. Her other books are: Predictive Astrology : The Eagle and the Lark (Weiser, 1992 & 1998), now heralded as a classic, and Astrology, a place in chaos (The Wessex Astrologer 2006) which is her Masters dissertation, on the mapping of chaos theory and complexity science to astrology. Bernadette is also the co-author of research astrological software Jigsaw (Astrolabe 1994, 1999)
