Customer Reviews

Beautifully written for the novice and the professional

I've read every book out on Pluto. This remains one of my favorites. Cunningham has written a book that can only add depth to the serious student/practitioner. Her writing is straight forward and accessible to those who do not study astrology but are told they have a strong pluto placement or a seriously aspected pluto. I enjoy her humanistic approach and it has only helped my own astrological practise.

Want to be prepared ?

This book is for Plutonians, people who experience Pluto transits or who want to be prepared for hard time in your life. It is also for those who face problems, which stems from grief, guilt and resentment. There are several sections each devoted to Guilt/Resentment problems, incest and domestic violence, death and grief. Who are not familiar with it? Sooner or later we meet people who were abused, hurt or on a path of transformation. This book can also help you to deal better with those people and maybe even help them.Whether you are Plutonian or not, you have Pluto somewhere in your chart and from time to time you will have to face the Pluto problems in your life. I'm not a Plutonian, but this book helped me to overcome obstacles in my marriage (Pluto in seventh house). It's very practical and gives many referrals to different types of healing tools.

A Book for Everyone including Non-Astrologers :-)

I came to read this book via my partner/boyfriend. I have not finished the book yet I'm two thirds of the way through it (at the time of publishing this review) and must say that it has been invaluable.. even to someone like me who knows nothing about astrology (my partner/bf is the Astrologer, lucky me!). I do recommend having one's Astrological Natal Chart handy as well as a friend (or someone) to whom you can refer in regards to Pluto in your chart (if you're a no nothing like me or else read some of the books she recommends to get a beginner's understanding).The way this book is fantastic is that she guides (there are no SHOULDs in this book) you to ways to heal yourself of negative Pluto traits such as resentment and inappropriate guilt via Flower Essences, Affirmations, Mediation, etc.. not just explaining about them.This book will only benefit those who truely would like to release themselves of negative Pluto traits.. if you want to change.. this book will help you otherwise.. do not bother. It is not a light read and can at times make you uncomfortable... she deals with subjects that most people will find are taboo: abuse, death, grief, resentment, inappropraite guilt, etc.** I recommend this to everyone as it is relevant to everyone (we all have Pluto in our Natal Charts). **

Excellent book for the Serious Astrologer

I have to differ with the reviewer who called this a superficial book. I've been doing astrology for 35 years and have come back to this book many times to help me deal with my own and other's Pluto problems.It isn't ALL there is to Pluto, but it is a very good introduction to the set of Pluto issues that have to do with abuse and sexual trauma issues. It's also very good on how to counsel people with strong Plutos.Read it along with Steven Forrest's Pluto book and Jeff Green's Pluto book for a well rounded approach to Pluto in your chart.

This is a great book

This book is very informative. It is written so that anyone that is studing astrology will understand. It given key events for all Pluto transits. You will be surprised how well it is written.
