Anyone will be hard-pressed to find a more delightfully EASY astrological book to read and actually COMPREHEND! Astrology, especially for those who are novice but serious, or those that are content to remain dabblers, can be a daunting study... and, like ALL serious study, one just goes deeper and deeper into their subject, no matter WHAT the subject be... Astrology, as we all well know, can be confusing, time-consuming, and downright intimidating... But fear not, for Debbie takes the mathematical, geometrical, and ecliptical mumbo-jumbo and tosses it out the window, {i.e. this is not a book that tells you how to draw a chart but, rather, interpret a chart}... In its place is a book PACKED with information on what STUFF MEANS in astrology... and she does it with the best humor on the planet... Not only that, but Debbie gets REAL with the information... Instead of glossing over and trying to shed a positive light on everything, she tells it like it IS... If you have Mars square Uranus you're an angry, explosive freak, ready to blow up at any moment... And, in my opinion, it's this FRANKNESS that is sorely missing from so many astrology books... Yes, we all come from LOVE, LIGHT, AND THE GREAT MYSTERY... YES, WE WILL ALL RETURN TO THOSE HEAVENLY STARS ONE DAY... But, in the meantime, we live in the HERE and NOW with all manner of quirks, psychological infirmities, and just plain craziness sometimes... I, for one, am most grateful to have a book that tells you just exactly what the DARK SIDE of any given planet, sign, aspect is... But know this as well, it is all explained so humorously that you will find yourself laughing till you cry... THAT's how much we 'SEE' our own selves in her RIGHT-ON expressions... Indeed, Debbie has CAPTURED the BEST and the WORST of human nature in this book... In the WORST, we can effectively gauge where we are in our progress as evolving human beings, and in the BEST, we can see the road ahead, the ideals that will keep us on track, the prize to which we can afix our eyes... Do I recommend this book??? You betcha, *vbs* Be sure to get the new 1999 edition as Chiron has been included AND the Tables go up to 2030, {the older editions only went to 2000}.Read full review
This book stays true to its title in that it does reveal secrets about chart interpretation that you don't find elsewhere. I love and admire the humorous language with a lot of respect for astrology and its possibilities. I had the old edition and was very happy with it, so happy in fact, that I had to have the new edition, too, with the extended tables. I love Debbi Kempton Smith's double Aries style (with, I'm guessing, Pisces Mercury?). Anyway, I love, love, love this book and I take it with me everywhere!
