More than a datebook, the "Daily Planetary Guide" is a powerhouse of day-to-day planetary information. Weekly forecasts provide an overview of the days ahead, and Jim Shawvan's "Opportunity Periods" - times when the positive flow of energy won't be obstructed by transiting planets - focus on the hours and minutes when it is best to do anything, from asking for that much-deserved raise to scheduling a holiday searching for romance or closing on a business deal.

The Universe's Giant Time Clock Condensed Here!,
By Linda G. Shelnutt "Mystery Novelist" (Rockvale, CO USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 2007 Daily Planetary Guide: Llewellyn's Astrology Datebook (Annuals - Daily Planetary Guide) (Spiral-bound)
The annual editions of this guide have been by my side for over 2 decades of use in regular research on planetary shenanigans. If you happen to be interested in a lengthy diatribe, I've explained my background and reasons for this on the buying page for the 2006 Daily Planetary Guide.A few changes occurred in this DPG with that 2006 version, all of which have been detailed on my and other reviews on that buying page. What I'd like to repeat here is the usefulness of the Opportunity Periods from Jim Shawvan. Having used those for a year, I can say that they are definitely helpful. It has been my practice to observe daily lunar cycles in this way used by Shawvan since the early 80's when I was a practicing professional astrologer and parapsychologist. At that time, I began following my own personally devised system of using (adapting to my perspectives and needs) Horary Rules of Moon Aspects to the planets, sun, and Moon in our Solar System, with the Last Aspect prior to the Moon's going Void of Course being always the overriding answer to any question of timing. It's a complicated system, but produces fascinating results. I was amazed and impressed to see Shawvan presenting a very similar system in Llewellyn's DPG. Now, I can use my own daily research processes in a much more efficient way by basing off the work Shawvan has already done! I do still miss the removed data in the DPG (begun in last year's version) of the less potent aspects*, though am happy to see that the monthly Ephemeris placements of Chiron and the 4 major Asteroids have been reinstated. The trade-off of losing the more subtle aspects, but gaining the Opportunity Periods is understandable. As they say in the industry of magazines and newspapers, "Space is at a premium." I'm no longer a practicing professional astrologer, though I always watch cycles. I gradually decreased that regular consulting practice when I began writing novels full time in 1985, when THE ROSE AND THE PYRAMID surprised me by rushing into my mind so fast I had to talk it onto 6 one-hour cassette tapes, then have it transcribed into manuscript form. That novel has continued selling (now in used copies) since it's publication in 1987 (even though I took it out of print in 1988). See its buying page here on Amazon, in the Customer Forum, for the "rest of the story." With continued appreciation for this time saving, handy daily data, Linda G. Shelnutt * Note: The supposedly less potent aspects (Semi-Square, Semi-Sextile, Sesquaquadrate, Quindecile - for which I have a set of different terms not yet published) become very much more potent than they had originally been given credit for as their daily motions progress into part of various geometric Formations (called an Aspect Patterns by some astrologers). Since the beginning of my studies in Astrology in 1979, I have been fascinated with Formations, which are made up of at least three planets in angular aspect with each other, as viewed and experienced from Earth's angle of perspective, and which can look like a Kite, a Grand Cross, T-Square, Mystic Rectangle, or a slender pie shaped figure called a Yod. When I began noticing additional geometric designs (in Transits and in client's charts) beyond the most commonly used ones, I was compelled to begin studying them. For additional info on those studies, feel free to go to my AOL Hometown web page listed on my Amazon Profile, then navigate from there to my AOL Hometown page, "Shenanigans of Stars, Suns, and Moons." The point in this *note,* however, is that the less "potent" aspects, indeed all aspects become very potent when they "seat" in their motions into a tightly designed Formation. For those continued observations, and for use in my study of 8 lunar phases instead of 4, I do miss the previous (2005 and several years prior) DPG's easy, lazy reference, of daily pre-calculation of these lesser aspects. I can do my own calculations, but I rarely take time to come to the exact minute of a Semi-Square or Sesquaquadrate to know the precise time of "arrival" of one of the 4 additional lunar phases within the usual 4. I definitely miss that timing, because sometimes those lunar phase transitions can be very precisely significant. Probably most astrologers won't miss DPG's discontinued listing of lesser aspects on the daily pages. Chiron and the 4 major Asteroids have been reinstated into the monthly Ephemeris at the back of the guide, but the daily aspects to these are still omitted, as per the change begun in the 2006 DPG. I did use those, too, and will miss them in my daily studies. However, I wonder why I'm whining, since I no longer have time for extensive astrological research. All the brain power I can gather is going into getting my finished novels to market, so I can then justify renewing my labors of love on half-finishing manuscripts, and then begin new ones or more sequels to my established sci fi and mystery series.

I use this guide often. I plant according to the Llewellen Guide, and have for years. It's really most accurate. I also use it to make jelly and jams. It can be a guide for most any project, from pruning to de-horning baby goats.

I have used the guide for several years and now cannot be without one. For anyone who monitors planetary movements to anticipate effects in daily life, this guide is a must.
