One gets the sense from reading this book that Ms. Tompkins has extensive experience in chart analysis ... because the text is free of clichés, conjectures, and contrived descriptions. The core energies of planetary connections are expressed with razor-sharp precision and truth. Her writing style is elegant and eminently readable. This book ranks among other astrological literature by Dane Rudhyar, Stephen Arroyo, Liz Green, Greg Bogart, Donna Cunningham, and Rob Hand.

I'm well over the 100 book mark for astrological studies. I'm not entirely easy to please in this day of cookie cutter interpretations. This book won me over and never lost favor. The respect for the craft and the many different forms of expression that two aspected planets can deliver are aptly honored in this book. It is a great reference for those of us who practise astrology and a terrific guide to understanding the layered complication of each chart's aspects. If you are a student, this book is a must have. If you have just begun the study of astrology, it might be a little intimidating, but even then I would encourage you to own it.

I must say that the other reviewers of this book has done
an excellent job as to why this book is a must for any one who
is serious about humanistic or "Jungian" astrology.
There is not much that I can add.
Do you want to get a clearer view of some of your life long
"homework assignments" in this life? Take the time to study some of descriptions in this book of the "hard" aspects in your natal horoscope. Especially the ones with a two degree orb or
less. You will thank me.

I own close to a hundred astrology books which are sitting in my apartment in New Orleans. Hopefully the second story didn't flood. I've not been able to get in to see yet. I went to a local bookstore hoping to replace what may be lost. I started to purchase PARKER's ASTROLOGY again but then I saw this and decided to buy it. After looking up my aspects I have to say I have NEVER seen such a good description of what these aspects have meant in my life, both past and present. At 54 I have lived some but they adequately describe not only current issues but my childhood ones as well. This is an incredibly insightful book that goes well beyond the normal cookbook interps that err on the side of generalities. If you get one book on aspects get this one. My only criticism is that she has chosen not to include CHIRON which experience has taught me is a must. I'm a professional astrologer by the way. Very good effort. I hope to see more from this author.
