Customer Reviews

My favorite astrological 'cookbook'

I don't need to repeat what the other favorable reviews have said about what this book contains. Suffice to say: this is my favorite astrology book that relates the planetary aspects in a person's natal chart to early parental influences. It is empowering because it "gives insights into a person's needs, drives and motivations and discusses the possible links between the childhood experiences and adult behavior". And while the hard aspects can be painfully accurate, one only needs to read the flowing aspect's example to see how to better utilize the energy. I keep a couple copies of this book on hand so I can lend it out.

One of the Best Astrology Books on the Market!

Utilizing the symbolism inherent in the energies of the planets and the zodiac, this book helps you to "dissect" the layers of your personality explaining how both your good and bad natal planetary angles have and will continue to manifest themselves through your experience. Your natal chart is a blueprint of your subconscious and what you absorbed from your parental relationships during your formative years (birth - age 3 or 4). You can remain a slave to your subconscious programming and/or spend years in therapy trying to dig out what's clearly explained in this book. Or you can buy this book and save yourself tons of time and money. But if you think astrology's a cute parlor game or if you need to hear how wonderful you already are, this isn't the book for you. It's hardcore and dead-on accurate. The truth will set you free - but first it may make you very uncomfortable.

Learning about yourself

This is simply the best introductory astrology book on the market. It gives you insights into knowing yourself, which is why it is so distressing to so many people. The work is based on the psychodynamic astrology of Lionel Day, and Betty Lundsted is the only author who has written about his insights. I highly reccomend it if you want to learn about your self. If you don't, or if you fear learning what realy motivates you, stay away from it.

Take off the blinders!

Want a clearer view of parental/child relationships? Comparison charts between the generations,while often difficult to consider, are an invaluable aid to anyone wanting to maximize her/his awareness of one's true self & purpose in life. This book con- tains some of the most indepth info on the inconjunct (150 degr. /quincunx) I have found, as well as the other major aspects. Since our early home environments continue to impact us in every department of life, this is a very useful & insightful book.
