Saturn Return Can Bite Me

Another Saturn return in fiction

2009-10-01T02:05:06Z

The book Laced With Magic by Barbara Bretton has a very LITERAL Saturn return. I don't know when Chloe's birthday is exactly (I don't recall it being mentioned in the books?), but she's around thirty and Saturn cycles feature in PROMINENTLY in the...

Saturn Return in Fiction: Maxi Amberville in I'll Take Manhattan

2009-06-10T22:05:36Z

Okay, wacky idea, but I figured it might be a good one to mention characters who relate to this topic. The setup: Maxi Amberville is 29 years old at the start of the novel. She's spent almost her entire life as a charming party girl, the sort who...

Literary Astrology: the Uber-Scorpio

2009-05-26T20:41:15Z

I recently finished reading Tap and Gown, and I'd like to cite one of its main characters, Jamie "Poe" Orcutt, as an UBER-Scorpio. We find out in this book exactly why he got called "Poe"--for his Halloween birthday. But in this book, he's especia...

AstroBookReview: Astrology and the Authentic Self

2009-01-07T23:04:27Z

This one essentially talks about how to be an astrological counselor. Now, I don't especially plan on doing this myself (I don't think frequent one-on-one appointments are going to be my thing here), but it was an intriguing read. It starts out ...

AstroBookReview: What Does Joan Say?

2008-10-31T18:53:14Z

As you can see by the title, there's good reason to be interested in this book, even if you're not an 80's Republican. While Joan does not go into every single tedious detail, nor does she share in great detail too many horoscopes (she talks abo...

Previously mentioned here: I just finished the book. It's good, I recommend it if you can get ahold of it. Basically she talks about her life, her work schedule, various clients she's had and examples from their lives, and how she's worked on sit...

AstroBookReviews with Evangeline Adams

2008-10-23T15:47:04Z

I found a couple of books by her in the library. "Astrology for Everyone" is basically a beginner book, introducing the concepts and whatnot. The interesting thing is that her voice is JUST as fresh and modern as anything I read that is more cont...

I just ordered this book.

Llewellyn is having a massive damn sale today, I took advantage of it for a change. I ordered this book, and the writeup from it looks pretty interesting.

The book list

2008-10-16T16:57:31Z

I was asked to come up with a list of books I had read/own on well, hippie topics, with a brief "liked it/didn't like it" next to it. About half of the list, which is long, turned out to be nitpicky astrology books. I have decided to reprint the ...

AstroBookReview: Finding Success In The Horoscope

2008-10-09T21:04:49Z

I have had issues with vocational astrology books. They tend to not be that helpful. I never got around to reviewing Vocations on here, but it was particularly bad for showing tons of examples and no way whatsoever to translate them into somethin...
