Like many of my friends, I have always been intrigued by astrology. Not the horoscopes in the papers, which are just entertainment, but truly looking at someone's key planets to understand how they are "wired".  This book talks about how people communicate with others.  Like the Myers-Briggs test, this is critical to understanding why we click with some people and simply don't understand others. I love the easy-to-follow descriptions  in this book of how people with different Mercury placements interact.  After reading it through a few times, I'm sure I will refer back to that section often. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in having stronger relationships with those you work with and those you love.

This is an excellent book for beginners. It brings together all the elements I needed in a beginning book and explained quite a few things most astrology books assume you already know. There are certainly more in depth  books on the indivitual subjects covered but I none I know of that cover  *all* the subjects in this book.
You may find yourself *wanting* more  detailed books after reading this one, but you won't *need* them. The  basics, common sense and imagination will take you a long way with this  book as your guide.

Being an owner of advanced Astrological software, I wasn't sure that this book would be useful.  It is very useful!  It is so interesting to see the eclipses in order by astrological position.  It is much more rare than you think to have a eclipse occur at a certain point.  These pages give you perspective on this.  In another case I saw one point that had many eclipses occur in just a few decades.

The product descriptions doesn't give much information, so here is a list of the chapters or parts: Part 1: Potpourri (Do We Know Where The Planets Really Are?, How Many Different Kinds of Stations Can a Planet Have? What Causes the Seasons); Part 2: The Sun is Not the Center of the Universe (very interesting!); Part 3: Eclipses (tables of Solar and Lunar Eclipses from 1700-2050 in chronological order, zodiacal order and Max. duration); Part 4: Planetary Distances; Part 5: Ingresses; Part 6: Outer Planet Phenomena; Part 7: Planetary Stations (Article and table of Stations 1700-2050); Part 8: Planetary Clusters; Part 9: Moon Phases (article by Maria Kay Simms and table of 8 phases of Moon 1900-2020); Part 10: High Energy Solar System Phenomena (article on Sunspots and tables); Part 11: Planetary Mandalas (very interesting).

In addition to the tables, there are many very interesting articles.  I especially enjoyed reading about Neil F. Michelsen.  His contribution to the Astrological community is priceless!  Thanks Neil!!!

The only negative comment would be that some tables could use some updating.  Maybe the revised edition (if there every is one) can push the tables farther into the future.  Sunspots end in 1989.  Some of the other tables only go up to 2020.  That's right around the corner now.

I'm very glad that I spent the money for this book.  It is fun to have and very useful for research.

I am absolutely amazed at the accuracy of the information in this book. The dates that Murray listed as "when the love planets favor your sign" are so accurate it makes me realize that there is actually order to the Universe. Two of the men I have dated very seriously in my lifetime (one which resulted in marriage) were within the EXACT time frames that the book indicates that I would find love. In September of 1999 I was a young student at a local university and I missed my bus and had to take another route to school. That's when I saw "him" (the man I'd later marry). The book indicates My "harmonious Venus time" as 09/11-10/07/99 and In November just before Thanksgiving that same year he gave me his phone number and we shared our first Christmas together. The period listed in the book was 11/09-12/05/99. The relationship lasted for 12 years. It doesn't stop there: the next period years later was 04/04-05/14/2012 I met another man who I'd have a significant relationship with (he asked me out on 04/26/12). I'm floored. What a great book. I do recommend it, even to beginners. I've been studying astrology for years (seriously since 2009), but mainly Magi Astrology which cannot really touch Traditional astrology when it comes to predicting love. I only wish there were more books published about the subject of when love will come into your life. I'm really surprised there isn't. It's a very common topic with little information as far as I can see. Thank goodness for When Planets Promise Love.

I have the original version of this book published in the 60's and it is the best astrology book I've read.  It is so on target with everyone I know and has taught me so much about dealing with people on different levels according to their sun sign.  I love how it describes physical characteristics of people, not just behavioral like most books.  It is amazing how people of the same sign have similar appearances.

This book is simply incredible. The Magi Society symbolisms have not failed me yet. I paid $200 for this book and I think that it's worth it's weight in gold. I will not sell mine or even lend it out, not even to a trusted relative. Seems you can get it cheaper. If you are an Astrology Enthusiast this is a must buy. One of the best feature this book has is the symbolism for midpoints used in Magi Quads. They are listed in order of their power. This book helps people choose the field that they are most likely to make money in and also enjoy. The 10th house approach to careers has always lack this ability, so this is very refreshing.

I  have gone through the latest book of "swamybaba" under the heading of "astrological ready reckoner". I am really surprised to see how much Indian astrology was advanced and accurate in vedic times.  The way swammy baba has calculated 'varsh phal" is amazing. I have never seen such an accurate method to reach conclusions in a given horoscope. Another point which he has brought out is about calculation of one's age. I have recalcualted by various methods and find amazing. I feel this book is for everyone to get the benefit of astrology without any expertise.

Ciro Discepolo is one of those rare Astrologers that get it.
His books are made to be easy to understand. If your a novice then you can learn from them and if your a professional then you can use them for reference.
I personally am a professonal Astrologer and have LOVED all of Ciro Discepolo books.
In this edition it teaches you how to interput the planets and their aspects in relation to the sun and its return to the birth position. Each year the sun return to the same degree when we were born, from this is called the Solar Return, indicators for the future year are given from this stand, and how to detect future possible problem areas.
With a Normal Solar or Lunar return the planets are based on where you are located at the time of your birthday. If this is not possibleto be in a better zone, then with AIMED SR AND LR you can find a way to help the balance of the planets.
Here Ciro shbows how to make the best of the planets in the location they are in.
AIMED SOLAR AND LUNAR RETURNS has been right on the mark with all the charts I have sampled it against.
I strongly recomend this book for anyone who is seeking the answers.
Well written and totally enjoyed

I have always been sort of fascinated by magic, psychic abilities, and all the other mysteries of the universe. But until recently I had never studied much about astrology and the alignment of the planet or read my horoscope or learned about the ways in which the stars can forecast my future and my place in the universe so I decided it was time to do a little research, especially considering we just had an eclipse and a blood Moon and the planets are (or were). In some very unique alignments.

So I went looking for a book that would allow me to get my feet wet in the astrology pool but wouldnt cause me to drown in information and this book fit the bill perfectly. It explained all the basics of the astrology and reading horoscopes and the alignments of the planets and how they can affect our futures and places in the universe and how certain people are more likely to get along or be compatible with specific others based on their astrological signs. This book also gave me a brief history and understanding concerning the uses of astrology over the centuries, and how was embraced by everyone from kings to presidents and how being able to read the stars and predict the future, was once seen as a status symbol rather than something to be feared.

This book also did a great job of answering all my questions without providing or filler, especially for the price point. This book seem to be very well constructed and provide solid and well thought out information in a very accessible format that was easy for me to understand and begin to use for things like checking my horoscope and starting the alignments of the planets.

So if like me you are just starting to get your feet wet in the field of astrology. This book definitely provides a good starting point for building a solid foundation of understanding and connecting with the astrological universe. I am very pleased with my purchase.

An excellent introductory book, clearly organized and concise...I really enjoyed the information. However I had to do a little calculating to figure out how to draft the star point in my chart, so that wasn't as clearly laid out as I would have liked.  Regardless, I am grateful for this book, it provided some very relevant insights into my life, self, and relationships.  It just made sense.  It's very cool!  I believe this is very valuable information for anyone interested in astrology and self-awareness.

I found this work easy to use, understand and install

on my computer. This work is an excellent resource for

the beginner or the advanced practitioner of astrology.

I learned things I never knew about my horoscope especially

the sidereal aspect of my sign. I would recommend this book

and CD to anyone interested in casting their birth chart and

it makes an excellent addition to the occult library.

I read this book in one sitting. (I have ADD and this is unheard of for me.) It was very easy to understand, even though I have some astrology knowledge, it still kept me interested. To confess, I gave up on today's astrology books because they were either too impersonal or too mind-numbingly difficult to follow. Too many of these other astro books are either unresearched or too heavily academic - this one is on point! How did that happen?? The writer is very conversational and anecdotal while giving reliable tips you can actually use in life. A practical astrology book? Who would have thought it? Ms. English did. Her book makes it relevant. I wish I had this book growing up as a Cap-rising with two Cappie parents. My teen years would have been a lot smoother. My whole world was Capricornian and if I read this book then, I would have had a much easier time understanding how to deal with Saturn and what it wants from us a lot better. Alas, you lucky people get to have it. :) Overall, I have discovered Mary English and I really look forward to her other books. I wish everyone wrote in this style because astrology IS personal, it needs to be relevant and why study it if you can't use it in your everyday life for a positive relationship?? LOVE IT!
