4.0 out of 5 stars A good starter's guide into forensic astrology, June 7, 2005

Well now, this must be the first book specifically about forensic astrology I know of (beside some books about astrology and murderers). As this is one of my favorite topics in astrology, I had to have this book. Even if it's rather a small book, counting some 160+ pages (incl. an asteroid ephemeris), there are some useful tips in it. The asteroids are an important factor and I'm happy to know that the author also takes into account the midpoints and the Fixed Stars. When reading the examples that should clarify the way one can delineate some charts (last seen chart, crime chart,...) I don't agree with the author about the orbs he uses. Sometimes there is a 3 degree orb between an asteroid and a planetary aspect. If you know that there are 13,000+ asteroids you can no longer use such wide orbs. This way you can prove everything. But this does not mean that the asteroids are not important. On the contrary, they are a primary factor, but only if the aspect is exact. In my forensic astrology work I also use the hypothetical planets of the Hamburg School (Uranian astrology), aside from the asteroids, and only use very exact aspects (orb max. 1 degree). It's just unbelievable how much additional information you get when combining the planets, asteroids and transeptune planets even when using a 1 degree orb. There is something I miss in the book; some more tips (and research) on how to (successfully) locate missing persons (locations and directions). The methods I know are not always reliable. Anyway I'm glad the author has written such a good introductory book.

I'm shocked at the first two reviews. The book was a repetative, stretched-out article. So for the price, I felt ripped off. The astrology charts didn't match the birth data. This may have been due to the AFA's (publishers) consistently shoddy editing. I hate to give a bad review but what trash. The writer should have included the research he claims he did.
The astrologers conclusions are off the cuff, from front page news in retrospect. The name astroid stuff is pushing it. In one word: Garbage. Your charts have to be right. This is why I'm no longer a member of the AFA. There is absolutely nothing "Forensic" about this book.

Don't waste your time on this book. I feel completely ripped off. As one customer said the charts are off and he doesn't even get the date right for the chart on one of the cases...for example..Danielle vanDam did not go missing on the night of Feb 2, 2002, she was reported missng on that morning, not on the 3rd. Also, Feb 2, 2002 was not on a Friday as he states. It is easy to look at a calendar to get a date right and read information on the case to get facts correct. I'm very disappointed.
