I was disappointed in "Astrology and Aptitude". I felt the author didn't go into enough depth with topics such as fixed stars, asteroids, arabic points, etc. It would have been nice to see how these components fit into the chart regarding one's career. Instead she just did a basic overview of each and moved on. Even her chart examples were lacking in detail.

If you are just starting out in astrology, this will be a good book for you, for it covers the signs and planets in regard to one's career very well.

However, if like me you have gone beyond basic understanding of astrology and want something more, you will be disappointed.

Kim Falconer is in the same league as Liz Greene and Noel Tyl for her work as an astrological writer, original thinker and compassionate counselor. "Astrology and Aptitude" is full of keen insight into the positive use of energies with which we are born. And she has a knack for explaining astrological symbolism without resorting to cookie-cutter descriptions. Includes sections on Chiron and the Nodes. Highly
recommended!

I read this book when it was first released. It was so easy and comprehensive that even an Astro-ditz like me could follow the information. This book makes working with one's own potential clear and inspiring. I was able to sit down with my own natal chart and correlate sufficient associations as to make significant changes in (personally and specifically) my own line of work; work that requires self-promotion - a thing I have always had difficulty doing.

I thoroughly recommend this work to anyone, Astrologer or otherwise, as it is clear and explicit. I find that I need to return to it regularly as situations arise. It is not a book to read once and discard.

Way to go Kim!

Reading this book together with my chart offered a wonderfully rounded approach to understanding astrology- and myself- giving someone who had little idea about the significance of houses and asteroids such inspiration to fully embrace and delve into the world of astrology. I can see that I will return to this book many times and recover new levels of meaning on each reading. Astrology and Aptitude is one of those rare finds that means as much to a complete novice as to a seasoned traveller. I'm eagerly awaiting Kim Falconer's next offering!

This book will help you animate your chart. In this book, descriptions of the astrologic players (houses, signs, planets, elements, ...) have personality and dimension. Read thru this book a couple of times. Make your lists, as the author encourages. You are destined to have some fun!

Kim has crammed a lot of material into a great book you can dip into for specific information or read as a deeper look into your Aptitudes via the placements of all planets in all the houses along with some asteroid material too. Simple to understand for those with next to no knowledge of Astrology yet something here for professionals too. See yourself and your clients from a new angle based on strengths as related to each planetary placement.
