Summary: Solar Arcs Reviewed
Review: I have just finished reading "Solar Arcs" a second time and am completely fascinated by the presentation of the solar arc measurement. Most intriguing and eductional was the easy step-by-step preparation guide and explanation of solar arc(s) interpretation. It all makes perfect sense!Barely through the first two chapters, I rushed off to apply this method to my chart. Again and again, significant life events showed up precisely on target, corresponding to the appropriate solar arc configuration. The additional discussion of Tertiary Progressions was insightful. The astrological picture of my significant life events was flushed out in detail, as Tertiary progressions highlighted exact time frames. Amazing. The chapter on Rectification: clearly illustrates the inherent timing complexities and only should be attempted by an astrologer schooled in these understandings. The explanation of this astrological art was clear and precise. The sensitive and graceful personal sharing (presented in an astrologer-client format) of current life circumstances provided such rich education. Demonstration of this sort clearly puts the author firmly in the ranks of "walking their astrological talk." Other examples of verbatim astrologer-client interactions exquisitely captured "real life/astrologically relevant linkage: planetary configurations (Solar Arcs) accurately related to real life circumstances. Reader-friendly language makes this book equally appealing to the novice or expert astrologer.

Summary: A Valuable Resource
Review: I started studying astrology in my spare time nearly four years ago. Most of what I've learned has come from following the discussions of friends and reading books they've recommended. Tyl's work is high on their list of reference materials. After reading Solar Arcs, it is easy to see why. Tyl's writing style is user friendly. His clear, well-defined examples make it a valuable resource for skilled astrologers & students as well. I look forward to reading Synthesis & Counseling in Astrology next.

Summary: Essential for the professional astrologer or serious student
Review: Incredibly powerful - yet deceptively simple to comprehend and use - Solar Arc theory and application is clearly explained, demonstrated, and reinforced using major events in the lives of well-known individuals. The reader is quickly compelled to examine his/her own chart and explore Solar Arcs on a more personal level. Solar Arcs can easily be incorporated into the Astrologer's arsenal of techniques, helping to better explain past and current events, and prepare a meaningful strategy for the future. Also, individual chapters focus on the use of Solar Arcs in birth time rectification, using Solar Arcs with Midpoint pictures, and the use of Tertiary Progressions to fine-tune astrological timing.
The helpful appendices include the "100-year Quick-Glance Ephemeris", and detailed interpretive guidelines for "all 1,130 possible Natal and Solar Arc Midpoint pictures..." Don't miss this one!

Summary: Solar Arcs: Astrology's Most Successful Predictive System
Review: Mr. Tyl's books are always informative and this book is no exception. In fact, his style and presentation seems to improve with each new book he writes (which seems impossible since his earlier books are simply the best)! The examples bring considerable insight into the actual process of interpretation. The flow of information is sequential and logical, enhancing the readability of this book. Don't let the "size" of this book overwhelm you. Mr. Tyl takes a daunting topic and makes it completely "reader friendly" with insight and widsom rolled in, to it round out.

Summary: a treasure
Review: Out of his long experience Noel Tyl presents us with one of the most important astrological books about this technique. With a lot of case studies he shows us convincingly the power of solar arcs in the 4th harmonic (though his examples are full of semisquares and sesquisquares - and that's the 8th harmonic - so I think you're better off with the 8th H). According to Tyl midpoint pictures that contain the same planet/point on both sides of the equation are not valid. I do not agree with that, especially not with solar arcs and directions. I refer to the fabulous book 'Midpoint keys to chiron' by Chris Brooks where such combinatiosn are called 'explosions'. In his book Tyl also mentions the rulerships (without going much deeper and that's a pitty) and the tertiaries. I'm glad that Tyl has written his experience on midpoint pictures down in the 2nd appendix. His interpretations are a very welcome addition to Ebertin's Combinations of Stellar influences. It's a treasure.

Summary: Indispensable Tool
Review: Tyl's work is a must-have for any astrologer wishing to add precision and clarity to predictive work. He uses many case studies and examples (including a very courageous and honest assessment of his own chart) to illustrate solar arc technique. He demonstates the theory behind the technique, and shows how amazingly simple and yet astounding it is.
