Editorial Reviews

Review

'Besides being the most definitive source on Local Space, all the main methods of spatial astrology are neatly mapped out there. Martin uses his Virgoan technical wizardry to bring complicated concepts down to earth, and drawing on his colourful personal life, he narrates stories rich in astrological symbolism as examples: like a well-travelled explorer, he's been there and done it! Let him take you on a voyage of self-discovery.' Robert Currey, certified Astro*Carto*Grapher 1992.

From the Publisher

Martin was the ideal person to write this book. He has travelled widely as a sportsman and business consultant, and has unwittingly tested the concepts of time and place in astrology to the limit. As an eternal student he is deeply interested in why and how we experience life as we do in different places, and he communicates his subject with eloquence and skill. Martin is also the European representative for Matrix astrological software.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A Whole New World", June 3, 2000

By

This review is from: Astrolocality Astrology (Paperback)

I'm not a professional astrologer, or even a particularly good astrologer, but I am a seeker of "things that work." This system unquestionably "works," as I have by now been able to confirm from my own astrolocality information and that of friends and family members. For a small book, it is full of interesting and useful things, one of which I didn't see mentioned by other reviewers here so I'll add it. It is the application of local space lines to one's personal feng shui. I now sleep better, having dealt with the Pluto line energy crossing my bed and having brought in Lunar energy; and my computer (on a Neptune line) used to freeze up frequently and now does so but rarely. Too, I can confirm that many of my most "comfortable" friends and patients live along my Venus line, and I now know where I can look for more!

A fascinating application the author also uses for "local space lines" helps support the idea that the U.S. was "born" at 11 a.m. on 4 July 1776 in Philadelphia. With that information and Local Space Lines, he shows us that our Uranus line goes near D.C., and through Montgomery, Atlanta, Boston and London! In London was centered the power we were "liberating" (Uranus) ourselves from; British people, he says (he should know since he lives in Scotland), say they feel "free" when they come to the States; and Boston was a center of revolutionary activity! He further points out that Montgomery was a capital of the Confederacy.

Being from New Haven, CT, I couldn't help notice that the same line goes through that city (home of Yale) and near Princeton, NJ; "liberal" (or "liberating"?) education, anyone? I think he has made a strong case for this "birth" time!

I was a bit surprised by the same token that Mr. Davis did not follow along a bit farther down that path, though, since this Uranus line has proven highly significant for the civil rights movement. For instance, Montgomery and Atlanta were both extremely important in the career of Martin Luther King, Jr., who was granted an honorary doctorate by Yale (and who in his youth used to go to Connecticut and called it "God's country" because of the much lower level of racist practices)! And in the previous century, New Haven was also highlighted by being the center of the famous "Amistad" trial.

The information is probably inexhaustible. Anyway, the book is well worth buying and reading. It "works"!

5.0 out of 5 stars a very neat book, May 6, 2000

This review is from: Astrolocality Astrology (Paperback)

Astrolocality is still a quite unresearched subject in astrology. In this book you will find a very useful overview of space charts (ACG, geodetic, local space charts...) and how to interpret them. Martin Davis has written this book from his own experience and the subtitle says it all: this book is a guide to what astrolocality is and how to use it.
