The New American Ephemeris for the 21st Century 2000-2100 at Midnight, Michelsen Memorial Edition Compiled and Programmed by Rique Pottenger, based on the earlier work of Neil F Michelsen Memorial text and Introduction compiled and written by Maria Kay Simms In 1976, Neil F Michelsen (1931-1990) compiled, programmed and published the first edition of The American Ephemeris that set new standards of accuracy for contemporary astrology. In 2006, celebrating the 30th anniversary of first publication of the first volume of work that grew to become Michelsen's comprehensive American Ephemeris series, Rique Pottenger continued the work that Neil began. Within The New American Ephemeris for the 21st Century 2000-2100 at Midnight is the familiar data and format long used and trusted by astrologers worldwide, now updated and expanded, with new features. This ephemeris is unique among others in the series for its memorial text section that documents, partially from excerpts from Michelsen's own writing, and partially from testimonials of colleagues, a history of the development of computer technology for astrology. Features of this entire 21st century edition include improvements in the computer generating program that enable finding double ingresses in a single day plus more accurate station times. Ceres, the asteroid that was elevated to planetary status by the IAU (International Astronomical Union) in 2006, has been added to the daily longitude listings in her position between Mars and Jupiter. The new planet Eris, whose discovery precipitated the IAU decisions of 2006, moves, at most, about 3 minutes per month, so her position is listed once per month in the Astro Data box, along with monthly positions for Chiron, Pallas, Juno and Vesta. A new formula increases the accuracy of monthly positions of the Galactic Center. Phenomena listed in the Astro Data column are sorted by time as well as by date. Also, the planetary ingress data includes R if the planet is retrograde when it ingresses.

The American Ephemeris 1950-2050 at Noon, Trans-Century Edition, is published in response to multiple requests for a one hundred year ephemeris covering these "most useful years." With the years 1950 through 2050, only one ephemeris needs to be at hand, especially when traveling, for an astrologer to do quick lookups of both birth data and future transits for most people he or she might encounter. Since the 1976 publication of the first version of The American Ephemeris, 1931-1980, Neil F. Michelsen's ground-breaking series of ephemerides for astrologers have consistently set standards for accuracy in astrology, becoming indispensible to astrologers worldwide at every level from student to professional. The tradition continues with the addition of this new tropical ephemeris spanning from mid 20th century through mid 21st century, which is published in two versions. This one is calculated for noon UT, and the other for Midnight UT. Rique Pottenger has revised and expanded the Michelsen programming with updated Jet Propulsion Laboratory data and improvements in the computer generating program that, for example, enable finding double ingresses in a single day, plus more accurate station times. A new formula increases the accuracy of the Galactic Center calculation. Other new features have been added, the most obvious of which are the dwarf planets Ceres and Eris, in response to the 2006 decisions of the International Astronomical Union. Monthly positions have also been added for the remaining three of the former four major asteroids in wide use among astrologers, Pallas, Juno and Vesta, and also for the centaur, Chiron. 978-1-934976-27-2 624 pages $29.95

The message of this popular book, in its seventeenth printing since first publication in 1985, is that we are not alone. We are surrounded at all times by love and support. The aim of author Iris Belhayes, who in the year 2000 passed into the world of spirit, was and is to help readers find their way back "home" to the love which is there whenever we choose to experience it. In this book, Iris shared what she learned from Enid, a spirit guide who communicated with her over a period of many years. Enid's explanation of the roles of spirit guides and spirit families in our lives is one of hope, of joy and of reassurance. In this exciting view of the cosmos, all of us seek experience above all-and all experiences contribute to the world. There are no monsters, no demons, no evil creatures, except those we conceptualize and create in our own minds and imaginations. This inspirational and uplifting book can be read on two levels. One level assumes spirit guides are actual entities from the other side. The other level considers guides our own inner wisdom. Like the many-layered universe she discusses, the approach of Iris Belhayes was very rich and can be viewed from several perspectives. But all viewpoints communicated a vision that is full of hope, love and affirmation. Iris and Enid explain how each of use organizes our life according to a preset game plan that we freely choose! Our spirit guides and spirit families provide support and reassurance in helping us live out that game plan and have the many varied experiences we seek. Besides offering a sense of meaning and purpose, the author presents techniques for getting in touch with your own spirit guides. Her message is one of strength and power. She encourages readers to go beyond what they think they see and experience physically to what she calls Real Reality, which is multidimensional. She discusses some of the other levels of reality and other beings which exist, and offers instructions for how we can go beyond our "physical universe trance states" to even higher levels of consciousness and understanding. If you are ready to expand your boundaries of what is possible, this is the book for you!
