Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-29 00:00:00 Erik Olsen I'm personally past caring what anyone thinks about the "validity" of astrology, and so was Forrest even at the time of writing this. However, he is one of the more compelling writers on astrology (he has a way of using potent analogies and distilling things to their essence) and I found this for $1, so had to pick it up. In this book, he ties together a number of physical phenomena that, while not "proving astrology", provide a background against which one truly starts to understand the interconnection of the "tangible" and "intangible" realities of our world, and a place which astrology could or should occupy in the grand scheme of things. He reminds us quite a few times (sometimes explicitly and sometimes just by the nature of the material) that many "scientific" ideas we now take for granted were once either laughed at or feared until we were able to "quantify" them with our limited brains.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-30 00:00:00 Robert Martin EXCELLENT author for learning about Astrology. I'm currently reading his introductory book, The Inner Sky. The book THE NIGHT SPEAKS has briefs of astrology itself but primarily this book looks at how it works and such, serving as a personal work that hopes to win people over. I love the section on sun spot phases. So fascinating. For astrology, I recommend Steven Forrest's books along with Joanna Martine Woolfolk's book, The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need. Gimmicky title, sure, but great.
