Solar Returns Formulas & Analyses

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing and unprofessional
Review: For the beginning astrologer, this might be an amusing read. For anyone who is serious about the profession, though, it is sure to disappoint. At least, that's what it did for me. Ms. McCullough claims to have been an editor in a previous career. She apparently forgot her skills while penning this anecdotal, incomplete and inconsequential series of astrological events. It appears that personal experience alone suffices for Ms. McCullough to deduce astrological rules and guidelines for solar returns. The lack of any kind of statistical and scientific foundation of her findings, together with an amateurish writing style, makes this work very hard to swallow. Not worth the effort of ordering. Note to the publisher: get a copy of QuarkXpress and a decent typesetter.

Summary: Down to earth
Review: I enjoyed the no nonsense style of writing without all of the psychic mumbo jumbo. Good info, with easy to read ... and easy to understand charts that show significant life events. As a beginning astrologer I found the work to be stimulating as well as informative. A bargain at the list price, and a welcome addition to the bookshelf.

Summary: brilliant
Review: This is one of the best books about solar returns. The author uses equal houses exclusively (I'll have to try this out one of these days). I haven't heard about this author, but her true-life examples and very valuable rules show that she is very experienced and that she knows what she is talking (writing) about. I'm going to buy her 'love' book too !

Review: True-life examples make this book fascinating. Many astrologers are not familiar with the use of "equal houses" or "solar returns." These are facets which should be studied closely and applied to all charts. Any serious astrologer should consider the information in this book, which contains many easy-to-apply rules. This author seems to be highly experienced and knowledgeable.
