Chiron and the Healing Journey: An Astrological and Psychological Perspective
 (1 vote)"Chiron is the smallest planet in our solar system and was discovered only in the 1970s. In this comprehensive study of the planet, Melanie Reinhart examines its meaning and symbolism in psychological terms, and explores how it has added another dimension to astrology. Named after the mythical centaur, Chiron is identified with the figure of the "wounded healer," and represents a spirit of philosophical independence, compassion, and a sense of trust in our inner selves. Rich in mythological anecdotes, literary allusions, and historical perspectives, with in-depth case studies, information tables, and a completely updated and expanded ephemeris for the twenty-first century, Chiron and the Healing Journey is an indispensable book for the practicing astrologer and will fascinate anyone interested in the subject.

Ruling Planets: Your Astrological Guide to Life's Ups and Downs
 (3 votes)"The book is divided into four parts. Part I contains the tables you'll need to find your Ruling Planet. All you have to know is the day and year you were born. In Part II, you learn about your Planet's characteristics, temperament, and outlook and how you are, in effect, a "Child" of this Planet. Because not everyone was born at the same time, the zodiac sign that your Ruling Planet was in on your birthday will color certain traits. Part III presents a detailed and personalized view of you, along with favorable-and not so favorable -- times of year. Part IV examines how a Child of one Ruling Planet gets along with a Child of another. These entertaining and thought-provoking insights cover the relationship gamut, from love interests to parents to children to colleagues. Want to know if a relationship has romantic possibilities or if you should just be friends? Check and see which Ruling Planets are involved. What do you do if you got off on the wrong foot with your new boss?" |

Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil
(1 vote) "Liz Greene has done a wonderful job of dealing with the Great Malefic of ancient times, Saturn. Her book is one of the first to challenge the older ways of reading planets in natal interpretation. Greene's background as a Jungian analyst AND an astrologer gives her books depth, insight and credibility. You will learn, for example, that Saturn contacts in synastry guaranty a successful marriage because Saturn is required to provide the long term staying power! This book is a must in your astrological library. It can be well understand by an intermediate astrology student and it is an excellent building block for later interpretation skills, Saturn being the important planet it is, the timer, the teacher, and so forth." |
Brady's Book of Fixed Stars
 (2 votes)"Most readers are aware of sun signs and the significance of zodiacal constellations, yet the importance of fixed stars, especially those outside the ecliptic (the plane through which the planets travel), is often overlooked in contemporary astrology. Brady has returned to the art's origins, reviving the ancient meanings ascribed to individual stars in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Fixed stars add their own influences to a person's horoscope (sometimes subtly, sometimes with drastic changes) through "paran" relationships with the planets. A star and planet are paran when they simultaneously occupy certain positions in the sky. Brady has accomplished the daunting task of charting the rising, culmination, and setting of 176 stars. She has researched their mythology in several cultures, and offers an interpretation of how each of the stars can affect a horoscope. " |
