Book Description

June 1, 2001
Synastry is the branch of astrology that tells us how we relate to other people. How Dick relates to Jane & what Jane may think of that. In this complete, classic guide to astrology & relationships, Robson goes far beyond the usual "his planets vs: her planets." He studies the overall weight of the two charts, the fertility of the inner planets, the condition of the 7th house. He compares her-planets-to-his-planets, as well as his-houses-to-her-houses. Robson considers how strongly the individual wants relationships - and how many - whether he/she will marry early or late - or not at all, the likelihood of children, the possibility of divorce. He gives rules for wedding dates. In an extraordinary appendix, he lists some 266 classified rules & aphorisms, culled from many ancient sources.

This is perhaps the finest book ever written on astrology & relationships.

About the Author

Vivian Erwood Robson, 1890-1942, was by trade a librarian. Like many librarians, he had a natural bent for research, and, in his particular case, astrology. He studied ancient authors closely, including Ptolemy & William Lilly. His books on electional astrology, fixed stars, and relationships are 20th century classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great old classic not forgotten..., June 15, 2007
This review is from: Astrology and Sex (Paperback)
Slim book absolutely packed with useful information. The old techniques for evaluating relationships are still very accurate. Even as the culture changes, the old (and in some cases ancient) observations can be reinterpreted for modern times. For example, Robson includes a section on Ptolemy's observations of Egyptians (Age of Aries) who had sexual intercouse with their siblings (common to that culture, highly uncommon in our own). Today, this might be interpreted in the context of those involved in polyamorous relationships, or those who have more than one lover among their peers in a close-knit spiritual or social group.

The astrologer has to pick and choose a bit with this book. Barrenness/inferlity is no longer such a huge issue in Western culture because of advanced in fertility treatments, but it is still useful to study the older context.

Highly recommend this book for any astrologer who wants a desk reference on relationships. I picked it up under a Venus sextile Uranus transit, and did not regret it.
