Customer Reviews

Explicit book, but a little difficult to understand

I did enjoy this astrology text and it was explicit and informative. However, it is definitely not for the beginner, as I am, to fully comprehend; although one other review did 'warn' of this. The books title was so interesting I bought it anyway. This book teaches through actual charts and case studies and so the author uses many advanced terms that are definitely not for a novice. Some words I looked up in a regular dictionary to try to further understand and they weren't even in there! This is not a cookbook interpretation of aspects one finds in a chart that will lead to intimacy issues or committment issues, etc., but a teaching tool. For the advanced and professional astrologer, there is a wealth of information here. I'm sure it will come in handy further in my studies.

Excellent advanced relationship astrology

As the author states early on, this is a book written for "intermediate-to-advanced level astrologers", and a good working knowledge of full birth charts is essential to understanding the majority of this excellent book. On the other hand there is a great deal of wisdom and insight on relationships and sexuality that almost anyone could benefit from. The first few sections in particular are full of profound and accessible psychological wisdom, this being augmented by an increasing number of examples and case histories as the book progresses.Tyl draws on his obviously massively extensive practical experience as an astrological counsellor throughout this superb book. A whole range of happy and unhappy relationship case histories are explored. Every possible intimacy issue is covered, no stone is left unturned! How can we express our deepest feelings to one another without fear of criticism, rejection or abandonment? Tyl explores the ongoing disappointments and crises most of us experience, even in fundamentally healthy relationships, as expectations and dreams are shattered, or "bubbles are burst" as he puts it.To his great credit, Noel Tyl includes his own chart and some of his own relationship experiences here. How could an author with Sun conjunct Jupiter in Capricorn in 7th, and Mercury in Capricorn in 8th, do anything else but write authoritatively on the realities of relationships and intimacy!?

The Whole Relationship

Another sagacious volume from Tyl. His amiable writing style takes the reader where no "cookbook" could ever wend. He prepares the student to investigate the "needs" of the individual behind the chart while providing insight for the helpful guidance in understanding these needs. This book is not for the beginner or faint of heart. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves for some indepth work in the art of synastry.
