Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Astrologer Anistatia Miller's textbook, subtitled "Understanding and Combining the Wisdom of Chinese, Tibetan, Vedic, Arabian, Judaic, and Western Astrology," is the first to cover and interrelate the six major world astrological systems. Eminently scholarly though necessarily cryptic, The Complete Astrological Handbook for the 21st Century remains accessible for the beginning student of astrology. The weighty instruction manual launches with an historical introduction to the concept of astrology and then explains the beginnings of the various systems. Its purpose is to offer the serious student all of the information needed to forecast in each system. Chock-full of charts, graphs, processes, and examples, it may be just what the title claims. In an era of disappearing national boundaries, the unification of discrete systems of astrology is an idea whose time has certainly come. --P. Randall Cohan

From Library Journal

If you purchase only one book on astrology this year, make it this one. Astrologer Miller and Brown, coauthor with Miller of Shaken Not Stirred: A Celebration of the Martini, give the history of the six major astrological systems indicated in the subtitle, which have never before been compared in book form. The authors provide a broad overview of how these systems have developed and how results are derived from them, discussing nuances such as exoteric vs. esoteric astrology and the differences between the topical and sidereal zodiacs. Detailed chart-making instructions are included, with brief interpretive devices. Instructions are complete enough for readers to construct their own charts, and examples help in navigating the mazes of tables and mathematical equations involved in chart-making. A glossary of the vocabulary involved with each system is included. Unequaled in comprehensiveness, this book is highly recommended.AMarija Sanderling, Rochester P.L., NH

Just like everything else I ever wanted to learn about - Chinese astrology or fengshui, it took me ages to find a book like this that told me what I really wanted to know. It went far beyond the animal signs into real Chinese astrology - four pillars of destiny, etc. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wealth of knowledge, comprehensive, enlightening!, October 28, 1999

This review is from: The Complete Astrological Handbook for the 21st Century (Paperback)

Astrology exerts a profound influence on most of the world's cultures. Only in the west is it considered a gimmick or nonsense. This book is a first! It provides a historical context for the six primary systems in use today and enables the serious student to develop and expand his own knowledge and capabilities.

I had my chart done recently, but it didn't seem right. I bought this book and I was able to actually cast my own in Western and Chinese too! And I'm no math wiz.
