Alice Miller, a prolific writer, has an easy way of exploring and explaining astrological topics. She brings each to life and makes each relatable. In this book, Alice takes the reader on a journey with and through Saturn. Known as the planet of limits and boundaries, Saturn provides structure, along with limits, and boundaries within which can be found a protector and an authority figure. You will find information about Saturn in each house and in each sign that can be used for natal chart interpretation as well as transits and other predictive techniques. Saturn in each sign is examined in terms of authority figures, protectors, personal space and boundaries, personal definitions, responsibility, maturity, authority and rights, and Saturn's Law. Alice invites you to tour the houses and zodiac with Saturn, always with growth on the horizon.

Alan Richard-Wheatcroft's long association with astrology began during his first Saturn return. Alan now consults as a medical and as an evolutionary astrologer.

It was during the onset of Alan's second Saturn return that work began on this compelling publication.

House Keywords and More... Keywords are crucial to accurate chart interpretation. They are how an astrologer can translate the astrological symbols into everyday lanauge. As an example, the fifth house represents children, creativity, romance, and sex. Michael Munkasey compiled this extensive, 400-page book on house keywords during decades of astrological practice. Keywords are listed by individual house, in alphabetic order, and by house category. Introductory material explains how to use keywords and astrological grammar, how to translate between astrology and English, the role of quandrants and hemispheres, and how to select a house system. Keywords are presented in many categories: horary, electional, things, places, psychological qualities, occupations, family members, mundane ideas, body parts, afflictions, diseases, colors, gems, minerals, animals, mythical figures, parts of an organization, parts of a ship, industry categories, health and fitness, parts of a house, and parts of an automobile. All of these make it easy to find the optimum keywords for chart intepretation.

Barbara Ybarra learned a process of deciphering psychological development in the horoscope from Noel Tyl, who has perfected a system of synthesis using both traditional and modern techniques. As a result, Barbara uses astrology to help people view their lives more proactively and to understand how they are influenced from their early home. Doing this, we can see the pattern of behavior that reinforces our behavior every day.Each of us looks for principles that guide us through life, whatever our spiritual inclination-we need to "feel" what guides us. When we experience deep emotions and are aware of them, we can then tie them to beliefs about where the emotions come from and why we feel them. In turn we can share these when someone asks what we think.To illustrate her approach, Barbara uses the example of Sun square Saturn, which some astrologers would define as perpetual depression, and writes, "That is not creative thinking. Our lives are given to us for soul growth!" This is the approach Barbara takes in Emotional Dimensions of Astrology, while encouraging astrologers and students to think about the importance of feelings in life and to consider what emotions do for us.This book is insightful, spiritual, esoteric, and forward-thinking, and through it Barbara encourages everyone to seek their highest spiritual expression, which is the best gift we can give ourselves.

There was a time when declinations (parallels and contraparallels) were used in delineation as a matter of course. Interest in declinations waned as other techniques, theories, and chart factors came into popularity. Kt Boehrer made it her mission to introduce as many people as possible to the insightful information that can be revealed through the use of declinations.Included in this book is extensive information on both the astronomy and astrology of declinations, along with numerous examples that reveal information that would have been unavailable without the use of declinations. Thorough examples include one of child abuse and another for child birth.Possibly the most important material included in this book is that of out-of-bounds planets, especially the Moon. Specific guidelines and rules for interpretation of the out-of-bounds Moon add considerable depth of meaning to that often overlooked factor in the chart.

This branch of astrology is popular with students and professionals alike. There is certainly no other branch of astrology that is as practical as horary. We all have everyday problems that need solving in a workable, scientific way. When the tried and tested rules given in this book are used, any question can be answered with satisfaction and accuracy. However, all the rules in the world are useless without study and application. From research and application we gain experience and knowledge.This book is also practical, using and presenting an organized approach that is the ideal asset when answering questions about any life activity or event. The first part of the book outlines the basics, the rules of horary astrology from the zodiac to the aspects to the colors and directions. In all, there are more than 20 factors that are explained and that form the basis of reading any horary chart.The second part of the book focuses on the houses and questions pertaining to each one, from the first to the twelth. Included are sections on length of life and nature of death, journeys, finances, property, family, childbirth, gambling, health, pets, marriage, lawsuits, legacies, insurance, career and honor, friendship, open and hidden enemies, and many more-in all, more than 120 specific questions.
