Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-05 00:00:00 Michael Solof Covering a good deal of base-level territory, without going into too much detail in any one direction, Karen Hamaker-Zondag does an excellent job of putting Astrology into the Jungian framework. Here's an overview of what she covers: -the astronomical content of Astrology's approach -basic Jungian theory -the triplicities and quadruplicities -the houses -the signs -the planets -how planetary transits and progressions define and reveal the full course of life I would say that this is not the best book for beginners in Astrology, for a number of reasons. First, there are certain things she assumes about the reader's knowledge of Astrology which would otherwise be best explained to the total beginner. Secondly, there aren't many examples in the book that further elaborate her points, e.g. Is it really clear what Mercury in Sagittarius might look like based on a description of Mercury and Sagittarius? Or how about Jupiter in the fourth house? I'm sure she has books covering those things, I imagine, so it might be helpful to purchase them both for your studies. Lastly, unless someone is already well-acquainted with Jungian psychology, it could feel like an information overload, attempting to understand Astrology and Jung simultaneously. Good luck, if that's you! I recommend this for someone experienced in Jungian psychology and Astrology already, and I especially think the last chapter, chapter eight, was of particular value. It enabled me to understand some of the wisdom of the aging process and pointed me toward further study of progressions and transits to the natal chart, particularly of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the progressed Moon. I'm looking forward to reading more books of hers in the future. (This book is listed on MISPA's recommended reading list, for those who are interested).
