it really is.
I have loved The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need now for over 10 years. I understand myself so much better as well as my spouse, kids, and anyone else who will give me their birth date, time and place.I encourage my patients and students to do their own charts with this book too.What a great tool!

An Astrology Book You Really Don't Need

Amen to a previous reviewer who said that this book is so not "The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need." It's not even an astrology book that you'll need at all.
Parochial, not very well written, no ephemeris, seriously lacking in synastry info--I get the distinct feeling that Ms Woolfolk created an astrology "cookbook" that could be marketed through a ridiculously all-inclusive title to convince the unsuspecting that this is truly the one astrology book you'll need. Absolute rubbish. If you need a list of talented authors with really worthwhile books out there take the time to read Robert Hand, Liz Greene, Jan Spiller, Stephen Arroyo, Marguerite Manning and Debbi Kempton-Smith to name the best.

Magnificient and Truly One Of It's Kind..
It's my first book on astrology picked up at a local library but unbelievably a marvelous one!!! I have actually verified my birth chart in reference with this book and to my surprise it has proved it's worth.
A brilliant,bright,genius writer who suffices each famished soul.

Great for beginners. Highly recommended. Will soon buy me a copy for myself.
Good Luck-

So Accurate It Impressed Us
Book goes beyond the sun signs. It tells you about the moon in different signs, and the planets as well. Includes an ephemeris to look up the moon and planets and where they were when you were born. We did our horoscopes and we're creeped out by how accurate they were, especially the moon signs. I also did one for someone whom I know with a massive ego to the point of being annoying, and almost every planet/sign referred to the person having an ego problem. I don't know if it's the only one you'll ever need but if you're interested in astrology I would recommened you buy this first as it's so easy to use.

Product Description
Illustrates how aspects can offer a profound depiction of an individual and his or her destiny.*Contains comprehensive sections full of interpretations for every planetary combination.*Concepts are explained through the use of actual birth charts and diagrams.*A core textbook at the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London.

Aspects are an essential piece of the astrological puzzle when it comes to interpreting and using the information that astrology can give us. It is not enough to know the placement of the planets on the horoscope. It is the relationships between the stars and planets that let us grasp the destiny of the individual. Aspects describe the drama of our lives-the complex configurations that influence what will happen to us over time.

Sue Tompkins, a fellow of the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London, shows how to interpret aspects when doing daily astrological readings. She uses the lives of real people to plot the aspects and offers examples of every possible planetary combination. Detailing the influence of oppositions, trines and elemental trines, and cardinal, mutable, and fixed crosses, Tompkins shows how aspects provide the energy in the chart that transforms the horoscope into something symbolizing an alive and vital human being. With Aspects in Astrology, Tompkins provides both the novice and the experienced astrologer the evidence and concrete methods needed to grasp the vast knowledge offered to us by our horoscope. ...

incredibly insightful!
i have studied astrology for about 13 years and just recently got this book. boy i was missing out, all i have to say is this book is amazing. i love sue tompkins' way of writing and explaining these aspects. it hits home and sheds so much light on lifetime issues! she goes into great depth, and yet you never feel alienated by assumptions that seem way off base. on the contrary, they are scarily accurate. things you could never quite put your finger on become clear at last. this book is crucial for any student of astrology or expert.

Detailed and Accurate
While I'm a new recruit to astrology, and cannot speak from long experience, I must say that this book was amazingly accurate in describing the aspects in the charts of the four people I studied with it, including myself. The planetary aspects are given the depth of description and insight I usually only find in describing sun sign types.Every single aspect is like a personality profile unto itself, lasting several pages and giving me a much deeper understanding than I expected.

Get it, you won't regret it...
I checked this book out of the library, thinking I would "just make notes"--well, it became clear very quickly that I would have to copy just about everything in the book! I have read a lot of so-so astrology books, and I can say that as a student of astrology, I have not found another book to best this one for sheer information and insight. It is essential for the beginner or advanced to read this book. If you are serious about astrology, get this at once!

Wonderful
This book is a great book written for astrologers with serious minds.It lacks the silliness that so many other astrology books contain, and she does not over state aspects or make sweeping solutions. There are no fairy- godmother passages were readers are told if they do this or that they will have a wonderful life afterward. She doesn't waste your time mother bashing or give long passages that are claimed to be written by this or that client explaining their experience; this book does not suffer from acreditability problem.

A treasure in the canon of astrology
I have had my copy of this book since the 1st printing in 1990. I'm here to purchase one for a friend and colleague in the craft who has not had the good fortune to read it yet. I've moved several times (across the country), and bought and sold what must amount to several astrological libraries, yet this one seems to stick with me. It is one of the best you can buy, period. I'd place it among my favorite 5 astrology books ever written.

I have taught and written on many different astrological methods, and am a professional practitioner, so take my word for it - this is one of the clearest, universally applicable and insightful books on the subject I have ever seen. Ms. Tompkins has keen understanding of human nature and how to explain it through astrological symbolism. Although I personally do not ascribe to the modernist approach to the craft, you can jump into any other school of astrology and take the insights from 'Aspects' with you. These ideas are easily adaptable and they stick in the memory quite easily - because of how "spot on" they are about things we all experience in ourselves and others, and the precise way that she describes the planetary "face" of these experiences.

If you are a beginning student, please do no read another book before you read this one. If you have been through several of the modernist tomes, please read this marvel, and when you are done, start throwing out everything that you find you don't need to understand charts. You may end up ditching half your library. ... Read more

Good book for beginners
I purchased this book knowing very little about Astrology other than i was a Cancer!This book is very good at describing and explaining the signs, houses etc.. It is easy to read and didn't go way over my head like some other books i have read.I would recommend this for beginners and experts who are looking for a reference to know more about Astrology.

Very instructive and simple!
A rare book of astrology that provides detailed information and yet is simple to read, to understand and to remember.

Great for beginners!
I knew nothing about astrology before reading this book. Now I feel like I have a good understanding of the basics. It definitely got me interested in learning more. I would suggest supplementing this book with information about fate, destiny and the soul to get an even better understanding of your birth chart. I recommend Transforming Fate Into Destiny by Robert Ohotto.Transforming Fate Into Destiny: A New Dialogue with Your Soul

Good for basic Introduction but lacks depth and references.
I have not read the dummies series, that was my first and maybe last book of the series.
Just lack of depth is implied by the title. Otherwise for basic Indroduction the book was
good.

Not a serious introduction.
If your curiosity on the matter is light and superficial, this book will do just fine. You'll find general and easy to understand explinations for a variety of topics in astrology along with an astrological "cookbook" for a quick chart analysis. The book comes short on the topic of sign compatibility rendering it too simplistically for any real use, though.
I also feel that the book is too trivial at times, harming astrology's already battered image; but this is more a personal opinion than a fact.
If your interest runs a bit deeper and/or are looking for a professional introduction, there are more serious and in-depth books out there. ... Read more

Great Read
I had browsed through this book at local bookstore. I was so happy when i found it on amazon for a much lower price. I love how each sign is broken down my male and female. Being a Gemini I found that many of the qualities it listed were true. I enjoyed it so much that i bought it for a friend of mine and she loved it too.

New condition and fast service
I purchased this book at a great cost. It arrived in the condition as stated "New". The service was prompt as the book is enjoyable. I highly recommend this seller!

Well What Do Ya Know
For me, the book is very insightful.I also had alot of laughs discussing certain topics with my husband.I feel the information was on target as far as I know!I think this is a refrence type of book!

nicely written
It's not often you find a well written and organized book on either astrology or sex, and this is both. Worthwhile and interesting.

A welcome and recommended contribution to Metaphysical Studies collections
Sexual treatises usually focus on physiology and physical aspects, so it's quite unusual to find a survey which focuses on the astrological elements of attraction and sex, but "The Astrology of Great Sex" fills the information gap in providing astrologer's sun-by-sun analysis of which partnerships are really complementary. A welcome and recommended contribution to Metaphysical Studies collections, readers will learn the basics of sexual turnoffs and turn-ons with an astrological focus in chapters that cover dating, attraction, and sun signs. ...

Good info
Bought to help with recognizing my sun sign traits and though I did not by this for the "Lovers" reference, it was recommended to me as a good book to help with recognition of the traits of the various signs. So far so good.

Amazing book, inadequate title.
I first bought an old hard cover edition of this book back in 1997 at an used books store in Hollywood. The book was stolen in 2007 so I decided to order it again, this time through amazon. This book has a wrong title in my opinion. Although it does cover the "love" part of each one of us, this book is much more than that. It allows the reader to learn about himself/herself, and that's how books like this should be used for anyways. Very interesting reading, and the "shadow" sections on each one of the signs is of great insight because all shadows are related to aspects of our personality that we don't recognize and don't accept. Everyone casts a shadow. The only ones that don't are those standing in complete darkness. If you want to keep learning about yourself, this book is for you.

A bit on the negative side
I'm not sure if this book was written to see mostly negative things about each sign, but that is how I read it.I was hoping to see some positive qualities as well as reading about the challenges with each sign.

Astrology for Lovers
It is a very interesting book... about our inner and outer expressions that can help us understand ourselves and others in a very different and significant way. I like it very, very much!!

I love this book
I love this book she is right on about the shadow base of the signs and she is an excellent writer. i was only going to read my own sign but then had to read them all i was very intersted and it kepted my attention through out the book. people from where i work fight over reading this book.this book also helps those whom are into astrology you can use the descriptions in doing your tarot card readings for self and others its awsume. ...

Herring makes Artemis proud
Despite vastly different sizes and distances, the Sun and Moon take up almost exactly the same amount of space in our sky. To those who can entertain the idea that our universe is alive, sentient and is speaking to us, this is truly a miracle of the most stupendous proportions. It is also evidence that your Moon sign is just as important to understand as your Sun sign. In my experience, this can be especially true if you are a woman or a someone who was born at night.

Amy Herring has written a great new book on the Moon which is well structured, easy to read, and full of wise and practical advice for either the novice or seasoned astrology buff. I have been studying astrology for almost 20 years and the section on the house of my progressed Moon definitely gave me some insight into an emergent major life lesson. If you don't have a book on the Moon I recommend snagging this one.

Herring's interpretations are top notch. She uses effective metaphors from a wide range of sources, including literary quotes, pop culture, and real life experience. But my favorite thing about this book is its impeccable organization. Astrologers are not always the best writers, yet Herring has done an outstanding job of laying out the material in a way which is easy to follow and gives expression to the full range of any Moon placement. I'm looking forward to seeing more books from this great new author.

Excellent Book!
In Astrology of the Moon, Amy Herring pays a fitting tribute to the most underrated planet in astrology. This book is well organized and written in layman's terms, which makes it an excellent resource for beginners who are often overwhelmed by astrological jargon.By starting with a discussion of the nature of the natal moon and an analysis of its characteristics by sign and by house, the author creates a foundation that enables the reader to easily understand the theory of the progressed moon. The discussion of the progressed moon in each sign and by each house is substantial, and the author's straightforward explanation of the aspects between the natal and progressed moon is easy to understand.I was particularly impressed by the discussion of "whole sign" aspects, which is significant but frequently overlooked by many astrologers.The "case studies" at the end of the book were refreshing because they were concise yet clearly demonstrated the influence of the progressed moon in a person's life.Astrology of the Moon is not only an excellent reference book, it is a timeless one.

Clarity of the moon
"The astrological interpretation of progressions is a simple idea when you consider its root word: "progress". As we grow, we change...Our natal charts show the way ahead, our personal evolutionary path, and the progressed planets can help us track how that evolution needs to happen for us." From p. 79. This is how simple and clear Amy's work is. She brings such tremendous clarity and insight to the subject of the progressed moon that I beg her to write more books about astrology. I want to know more and her way of teaching works.

If you like astrology - buy this book!
If you're into astrology already and think you know everything - you need this book. If you're just picking up the basics and want to learn more - you need this book. Everyone can learn something from Amy's take on your Natal and Progressed Moon.

Amy has written a well-structured and thoughtful book which can be appreciated by professional and amateur astrologers alike. She writes in a delightful way that just draws you further and further into each chapter eager to learn more, though you can just as easily dip in and out of sections if you prefer. Her use of storytelling is done in a straightforward, easily understood, manner, rather than wrapping the reader in a web of words from which they leave the book none the wiser.

I am a client of Amy's and had this book on my wish list as soon as I heard about its release. I have not been disappointed. The same thoughtful process she puts into her work with clients is evident in this book.

Highly recommended.

Wonderful book
I have had several readings done by Amy, so when I heard about her book, I pre-ordered it.The minute I got it, I dove into it and I was not disappointed.It was just like getting a reading from Amy:friendly, understandable, interesting and informative.I use it all the time as a reference guide.The style is such that after I read one section and think "I wonder what..." there is another section that answers my question!I love this book and can't wait until Amy publishes something else! ...

Good, But Needs More Depth
Good as far as it goes, which is farther than some astrology books; but I would have liked to see more information about the Kabbalistic and Talmudic associations between the Hebrew letters and planets and astrological signs, as well as more information about Kabbalistic astrology in general.The "Tikkun" feature is helpful in delineating the meaning of the North and South Nodes of the Moon and their relationship to spiritual growth, but you would receive more on this from Martin Schulman's classic "The Nodes of the Moon and Karma."(The nodes, spots where the moon rises and sets through the ecliptic or planetary plane, were mapped at Stonehenege and known to the the Hindus many thousands of years ago, and are pivotal in terms of understanding reincarnational growth patterns, as is brought out in this book.)One day I would like to see more from Michael Berg (whose work I love and whose father apparently wrote this respectable treatment) or his associates on Kabbalistic astrology in the future.

Good value
This book offers an overview of the astrological signs in the Hebrew calendar so there is a need to convert your birthdate first from Gregorian to Hebrew, as your constellation of birth is not always the same in both. It then gives a list where your correction or tikkun sign can be found. I have found the comments for each sign quite applicable, as a birth sign as well as for the tikkun sign. Furthermore it gives us the general character of each month, and its effect on all of us, which is interesting to know.

Not bad-But the Authour is from the Kaballah Center of greed
He is a book factory and runs the kabbalah center pricey place of learning Kabbalah. This and other leaders not so greedy have some good information as well. Wood have given more stars but not a huge fan of the center of greed.They do help many and have a following but it is sold to the masses.Not bad but could be done for less.

A review of Kabbalistic Astrology and the Meaning of Our Lives
I should preface this review by stating that I have read other books by Philip Berg and by his sons, and therefore have some familiarity with the material and the terminology.The book that introduced me to this system (Kabbalah)was "The 72 Names of God," which for me was an amazing eye-opener.Specifically with reference to the Astrology book, I would like to say that the information it has given me regarding my birth sign and my particular "tikune" (correction in this life) are right on target based on what I have recognized to be the areas in which I am lacking and the challenges that life has thrown my way in order to help me overcome those deficiencies. I therefore see this book as a very helpful tool.

Heavenly!
Just when you thought there wasn't anything more credible than the Kabbalah as currently constituted, along comes P.S. Berg's "Kabbalistic Astrology," which adds the precision of astrology to the mix.

I happen to practice the casting of bones, so naturally I'm interested in Berg's oeuvre. As soon as I figure out the meaning of the third metatarsal, I'll be adding my spiritual gifts to this mass of wisdom. ... Read more

THANKS
am very satisfied with the services offered by Amazon.com. I pointed out to friends and family.

Thanks.

The stars point to this book!
I've been following the writings of William Levacy with interest since I became acquainted with his work in the 90's. All the stars must have been in allignment when he wrote "Vedic Astrology Simply Put" - what a beautifully written and illustrated book. You can tell that he has a profound understanding of the principles of vedic astrology - he's really passionate about his work. This book gets 5 big stars!

A work of art in itself but improvement possible
As in his book "Beneath a Vedic Sky", William Levacy demonstrates even more in "Vedic Astrology Simply Put" his intention to make a book a work of art. This book is hardbound, coloured, with a bibliography and a list of resources. The content is well thought out and organised. With very few exceptions, like the Layout of Vastu Placements on page 286, the typeface is large enough. The author comes across to the reader as a nice, well intentioned person with a positive outlook on life.

The various lists of planets, constellations and houses serve well for basic natal horoscope interpretation. Mr Levacy does well by introducing enough Sanskrit words simply transliterated without attempting to teach us this sacred language in the process. Compared to "Beneath a Vedic Sky", Mr Levacy has included much clearer indications of how to proceed in analysing a Vedic horoscope. He also explains some basic Vedic astrological factors, for example sub-divisions of the zodiac, more clearly.

What significant improvements could the author include in a next edition?

1. Include a short glossary of Vedic astrological terms and an index.

2. The "Simply Put" part of the title is an advantage but also a risk of this book. As his fellow Vedic astrologers, Hart de Fouw and Robert Svoboda, well put it in their "Light of Life", "Too often the Western mind simplifies a complex idea in order to grasp it, and then misidentifies that signification with the original." Aside from possible over-simplifications, Mr Levacy makes it easy for readers to confound basic notions of the Vedic Tradition (e.g. karma, meaning "action" as Mr Levacy correctly relates, and the traditional doctrines of transmigration and metempsychosis, combined and confused in the new age dogma of "reincarnation") with distorted counterfeits like Ms H P Blavatsky's theosophism and its derivatives.

3. Several of the nice images represent the consciousness of the Rishis and others, e.g. telescopic visions of the solar system, in a way that exclusively reflects modern occidental mentality.

4. Judged by this book, Mr Levacy appears to hold a one-sided Vaishnaite, perhaps Krishnaite perspective of the Vedic Tradition. He mentions neither Ishwara, nor Para-Atman, nor Para-Brahman nor the Vedanta perspectives including Them.

5. Any seasoned professional astrologer like Mr Levacy may include and recommend useful methods and symbols from Western astrology. However, especially in a book on Vedic astrology, he should clearly label such imports. The qualities of the sign of Aquarius on page 105 seem to fall out of the rhythms of the other signs. On pages 121 and 122 the author includes the "heart area" in the 4th house and the "region of the heart" in the 5th house. Cases of mixture of Vedic and Western? In any case confusing for the reader.

6. Mr Levacy, like any other astrologer, may prefer a particular chart style, in his case South Indian, that he uses exclusively in this book. Nevertheless, he uses terms like "angles" that make more sense in North Indian style charts. Why not include several examples of North Indian and some of East Indian and Western as well? The chart the astrologer is regarding on page 242 under "Keyword Matching" has only 8 sectors, 4 missing!

7. Mr Levacy often mentions different views amongst Vedic astrologists on certain topics. He would thus do well to include an overview of the important schools of Jyotish.

This good book can get a bit better. Best thanks and wishes to Mr William Levacy.

Vedic Influences
It's nice to see other vedic astrologers taking influence from OSFA, a leading pioneer in vedic astrology, introducing illustration with informative writings on the topic to give vedic astrology a more popular appeal..Vedic astrology is so important and we need more books appealing to the western appetite to make it as popular as it deserves to be..

its not the vedic astrology that makes it special it is the spiritual depth of it that is brilliant
I once attended your class once at an ACVA conference and really enjoyed it. It had to do with relationship matching. your depth is always good in class. well I just read your latest book vedic astrology simply put and its amazing. I happen to be a vedic astrologer as well and what dawned on me despite my advance nature on the subject is that this book despite being geared to novices is profoundly spiritual. I love your definition of liberation and enlightenment. Your understanding of these definitions and your writings on general indian philosopy gives me hope in humanity and how we can progress spiritually. I think your book is so important for humanity and will have huge impact on America as well. May America open up to vedic culture and its depth and power! You are the first person of western origin that has so openly explained it in such a wonderful and understandable manner that it can have great impact on humanity and the course of this country as well as other nations. Most importantly its a beautiful book on indian philosophy because byusing the systematic and scientific approach of vedic astrology, you can start to unravel the scientific basis behind vedic philosophy. If only academics in religion would now attempt to understand this wonderful science and philosophy of humanity. may they glow in the science and philosophy of light!!! ... Read more

Enlightening
If your into Astrology you will find this book very interesting. Will you agree with everything...no, but your sure to find it enlightening.

GREAT CONDITION
I am very skeptical about buying used items on line. But I have gotten a few books now off Amazon and all were used and when I got them they were like new. Nothing at all wrong with them. Its awesome. It beats trying to make time to go to the bookstore when I have kids to take care of.

not much in there
I had such high hopes. I love the first birthday/relationship books. fun stuff. so I thought this might get in to specifics for family member set ups etc. found it pretty banal.

Superb! You just have to ask people what sign they are!
Gary Goldschneider is a fantastic astrologer and author. I own three of his books, The secret language f birthdays, Personology and this one. All of his books are different but equally practical and wise. This one in partticular is great! For example, If you have a boss that you don`t know how to handle just ask him his birthdate and look it up in this book, it tells you everything you should do. How to handle, motivate, give good and bad news, travelling, etc with your boss. It has three sections to every zodiac sig, Work, Friends and Family and Love. So basically this book can orient you inyour daily life. I truelly recommed this book, its an easy read and offers great insight to people you know or might not know.

Total astrology
This book is insightful, and entertaining.Very detailed breakdown of each zodiac sign's traits & characteristics etc.Awesome!!! ... Read more

Llewellyn's Complete Book of Astrology: The Easy Way to Learn Astrology
This book is one of the best beginner books to Astrology I have read.I began my study of Astrology with Tetrabilios by Ptolomy and got lost as you can imagine. After having read this book, it is much more clear and I am better able to both read and understand Ptolomy.The only thing I would have liked would have been more of a comparison of the different house systems, though I appriciate the author at least naming a few.I am now off to learn more about the different house systems and would highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in Astrology.

A Must Read
This is one of the best "astrology" books on the market today.It takes an ancient art and updates it.Very easy to understand and great reading.Makes you want to do further investigation.Elizabeth King is a great author.

Takes a long time to get to the Nodes
I bought two books on the nodes. One by Jan Spiller and this one by Elizabeth Spring. The one by Jan Spiller was much more straightforward and easier to read. But, I got more out of the Elizabeth Spring book as far as my personal chart. However, my main issue with Spring's book is that it is not easy to follow. It is very clear that she is a psychologist and that she's an academic. This book uses a language that other academics and psychologists will relate to, but John Doe on the street will have trouble getting through this book. I kept wanting to skip whole chapters and get to the meat of the story. I had to force myself to go back and read everything.

Spring doesn't get to the North Nodes until the end of the book. Sure, there is useful material in the book on Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto. I highlighted a couple of things in those sections, but what I really wanted to learn about was the North Nodes. The book also shares a lot of her personal story. That's what about 70% of the book is about. And, it's not translated in a way that easily relates to the north nodes.

If you've read her blog, you'll find a lot of the articles in the blog are the same material that is listed in the actual North Node chapter in the book. So, this might be a repeat of information for those who are subscribers to the blog.

It is obvious that Elizabeth Spring knows a lot about psychology and about the North Nodes, but I would have loved to have more detailed info on the nodes rather than a book that is mostly about other things and mentions the nodes in the intro and a couple chapters at the end.

The other issue for me is more of a personal one. I didn't get much for my personal chart out of either book. As a libra rising with a North Node in libra in the first house (ruled by Aries), there is no clear cut answer to the mystery of my North Node. My North Node is in a house ruled by my South Node. So my situation is more of a weird blend of Libra and Aries as opposed to what most people reading this book will encounter. I think the book will be more useful for doing other people's charts.

If you decide to purchase this book, purchase it along with another North Node book or purchase it because you like the work of Elizabeth Spring. But, if this is your only book on the North Node, you might be disappointed with how little is actually covered regarding the North Node. I think the book has value, but perhaps the publisher should have given it a different title to reveal what material is actually discussed in the book.

The cover was the best part.
The book wasn't as informational as I had hoped. And it would have benefited from a much tighter focus on the title subject. My expectation was to have a resource for supporting my application of the North nodes in guiding both my self and my friends on their soul journeys. Instead I found out a whole lot about Elizabeth's journey and very little else. Her blog is well written and focused, so I expected that her book would be of the same caliber. Instead it came across as a compilation of disparate essays that had been composed from personal journals and memoirs.

Perhaps I assumed too much based on her strong connection in her online material between the mythology and symbology of Jungian archetypes and the astrological worlds? She makes passing notes on these much stronger stories and then segues back into her personal views.

This book might be helpful to people who are just approaching the topic and her personal revelations may help others to understand their own. I appreciated the brief tour of the outer planets and thought that her conceptualizations were strong, but I was surprised as the title and cover didn't mention these other influences.

Maybe the title was misleading and should have stated something closer to "A brief introduction to astrology and patterns of human development", although that also promises something that might be broader and well researched.

By note, I've found the works of Jan Spiller on the North Nodes to be much more information packed and useful as reference books.

North Node Astrology: Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose
After studying astrology for several years and still not really understanding the depth of each polarity, this book explained very gently and clearly the definitions of the nodes as well as how important they are in a reading. North Node Astrology: Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose is easy to understand through the uncomplicated language Elizabeth Spring uses. Definitley a must have reference book.... one that I will read more then once. Thank you Elizabeth Springs. I look forward to reading more from you.

North Node Astrology by Elizabeth Spring
By: Linda George, Author and Astrologer





From the moment I read the first line of Elizabeth's book, I was captivated.

This woman is utterly gifted with the capacity to grab you and pull you in.

With her lucid and eloquent explorations of the truth of evolutionary astrology; the symbolism of the North Node is brought to life in way that is intelligent, compassionate and insightful.


The cosmic language of astrology is symbolic of the deepest truths of our human condition and Elizabeth seamlessly weaves her profound knowledge of astrology, with real-life explanations that will give you `truth-bumps. You will know the truth when you read it.Very highly recommended.

Brilliant Presentation on Vedic Astrology
I've never seen a more brilliant presentation of Vedic Astrology than this! This is the definitive and authentic introductory book (level: beginner/intermediate) on Vedic Astrology.

A heap of facts
Having been introduced to western astrology by Charles Carter's "The Principles of Astrology" back in 1983, it took a reading of "Astrology of the Seers" to realize just how brilliant and pedagogic the late Carter was. This introduction to Vedic Astrology suffers quite a bit from muddleheaded thinking and an imprecise, sometimes ambiguous writing style.

The writer is also in the bad habit of often taking for granted topics that are yet to be presented later on in the book. In a similar vein, I found the two first pages "explaining" the House Lords totally mystifying until - finally - the author gave a clarifying example on the third page. Such things make a book a tough read, since you have too keep unresolved problems and an ever-growing amount of text in your short term memory.

And what does the author really explain by informing the reader that "planets can appear to go retrograde, or backward in the zodiac, because of their different orbits than the Earth"? Cases of bad thinking/bad writing like these abound.I strongly suspect this same author was responsible for the astronomy chapter in the collective effort "In Search of the Cradle of Civilization" I bought to "warm up" in preparation for this book on Vedic Astrology. That text presents some simpler astronomic facts but takes for granted a general reader already knows about the peculiarities of the precession of the equinoxes!

I felt compelled to write this review with 100 pages as yet unread. But the verdict is pretty clear. Reviewers on Amazon may not have read much in the way of text books, because this is no way a five or even three star book.

Yes, it serves as an introduction to a large numbers of new concepts to a student of western astrology, and occasionally serves up some nice metaphysical food for thought, but there must be better introductions out there. The character delineations of the 12 signs read as taken directly from a teen magazine. And "mental problems" is mentioned so often one really starts to wonder...

From a short survey of the Internet, it would appear there are introductory writings by the late B.V. Raman, a towering figure in modern Vedic Astrology. His writing may exhibit the logical stringency any half-witted novice may need for his/her education in this fascinating topic.

My grading scheme: 5 stars = a work of genius; 4 = excellent; 3 = good craftsmanship, well worth the time and money; 2 = acceptable; 1 = waste of time and money

One of the Best books on vedic astrology!!!
Five stars all the way!I initially got this book from the local library... I must have read it atleast 10 times before I knew I needed to add it to my permanent collection.This is perhaps the BEST book to have if you want to start learning the basics on vedic astrology. This book will not confuse you with technical stuff on astrology... I have read 10-12 books by now on hindu astrology and I know how tough this subject is to grasp.This book forms a good foundation on the 'whys' rather than the 'hows'.I highly recommend it.

Another Shallow Book
This is another in the line of many shallow & superficial books
released by DF.

It sets out to be an introduction for the complex science of Jyotish and ends up being like a school textbook which at the end of the day makes you yawn more than excite.

It fails miserably in comparision to other Jyotish intro books.
The analysis of famous figures in example charts is especially hilarious as it reveals a shoddy incomplete knowledge of this vast science of which I have been a student for over 20 years.

In the end I can only say that the works of this author are not suitable for IQ above 60!

The best introduction to jyotish ever.
When I signed up for Brendan Feeleys' introductory
course in jyotish (vedic astrolgy), this was the textbook.
Need I say more?
OK, for the person new to vedic astrology, this
is probably the best first step.
It covers all the basics; the philosophy behind it,
the planetary significators,signs,houses, aspects,lordships,planetary periods (dashas), harmonic charts, introductions to medical astrology & remedial astrology, and a bevy of sample charts.
Deep concise and fun! Worth every penny. ... Read more

Computer Report a la Isabel Hickey
I studied with Issie in the '60s & '70s, and oversaw the combined edition of her 2 astrology books with CRCS. I have dozens of letters by her readers expressing how her book changed their lives profoundly; they were passed along to me from her daughter Helen before her death.

I am writing a book with excerpts of these letters along with unpublished essays / articles that Issie herself was writing as her 4th book.

Also, Helen and I, with CRCS's permission, adapted Issie's text into a computer report to give personal interpretations drawn from Issie's teachings.

Anyone wishing more information on these works are invited to email me.

Great for beginners...
Nicely written book that covers all aspects of astrology without all the fluff that many others fill their pages with.Very easy to read and I highly recommend it for people just starting out with their study of astrology.

My first "real" astro book
It must have been 15 to 20 years ago that one of my friends lent me her hard bound copy of this book in which I became instantly enthralled. It was several years later that I finally got a reprint paperback (it was out of print for quite a while). Frankly I'm shocked at the negative reviews. This book was written at time when the genders were more patriarchal defined (not that I agreed w/ that by any means), long before the global economy. My point is she was writing of her present overtly "accepted" social conditions in the same manner as did Jane Austen for her time. If one gets so stuck on that surely it is more telling of the person reading vs. that of the author. In my humble opinion, this is a beautifully written book-is it perfect, no. What this book did for me was to enlighten me to the prospects of authentic astrology-quite a gift. That lead me to explore other greats of out time, Adams, Green, Spiller, Parker, Pond, etc. I still reference it and take heed to its wording. For me the most important of her words were we select our chart (life circumstances) when we decide to come on this earth plane and the planets impel us, but do not compel us due to our free will in making choices while on the path journeyed. The beauty of our birth chart is clearly defining our potential use of our strengths and weaknesses, as often we are blind to how we utilize both. This book is quite a gift to all.

Still the best astrology book
I have used this book for 25 years and recommend it to all my astrology students. I continually seek out other astrology books and have found some good ones, however Isabel Hickey's book is still the best.

Insightful but with a definite point of view.
Isabelle Hickey was my first astrology teacher more than 30 years ago, and I still own this book. It offers good astrological insights.Yet much of it reflects Hickey's point of view and is not without prejudice.
For instance, "Venus Square Mars.Emotions and passions need controlling." (true) "Animal self need domesticating." (a bit to judgmental to my way of thinking) Yet, despite this a lot can be learned from this book
