Venus: Her Cycles, Symbols & Myths Book

Anne Massey has written a fact-filled book on the astronomy and astrology of Venus with some very nice interpretations for Venus in the signs, Venus in love and marriage, and retrograde Venus, a subject that badly needed attention in the literature (saying as a person born when Venus was retrograde!). Sometimes the writing seemed a bit scattered to me, Geminian - i.e., lots of random facts not clearly connected or followed through on, or made into more than they were (Jupiter has the same kind of precision and regularity to its retrograde cycles as Venus, for instance, and probably the other planets as well) - but the facts were still interesting and many were useful in understanding something about the planet and the symbolic Venus. Its a big subject to take on and organize while still including all that Anne Massey did. A worthwhile read for astrology students and astrologers.
