Summary: Casey updates astrological symbology for the 90's.
Review: What makes this more than a sun-sign summary of astrology is the framework Casey has developed. She draws on classical astrology as well as Jungian thought, Buddhism, and other traditions to synthesize a larger perspective. Also evident is her own practice as an astrologer for many years. She writes from experience here, on several levels, so that her understanding of the planets, houses, and signs is multi-dimensional. she makes clear that astrology is a sequence of psychological and spiritual processes, not trite "predictions." Like alchemy, the metaphors for the earth's laws, astrology is the set of metaphors for the heavens. Casey shows a unified field theory for the world above, and how it manifests in the world here below.

Summary: A new way to look at living and your chart
Review: With Saturn as my ruling planet and in a placement in my natal chart that I find rather uncomfortable, I always have found myself living with Saturn as my weakness.
"My Saturn's in my __ th house, sorry I just can't do that task".
Ms. Casey's book offers a new manner of looking at your planets, seeing them not as weaknesses but as opportunities and gives the reader hints on how to find their positive aspects.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who has felt controlled by any part of their chart or boxed in to a corner...or worst yet...forever stuck with what you were given natally.
