Astrology was in great need of a book like E. Alan Meece's Horoscope for a New Millennium. Not many astrologers look deeply into mundane historical astrology and the evolution of humanity. This is a in depth look at the major planetary cycles and how they have affected the unfolding of human potential. Now that we are in a period of accelerated human evolution, his book is a very timely addition to our understanding of our present historical situation and potential future. It will be a stretch for many who are not deep in there understanding of Astrology, but is is a stretch well worth making.

This book is one of 2 mundane astrology books about the new millennium that I have found to be worth buying (the other is Noel Tyl's). Meece is the one who takes us much farther into the future. Meece, who has obvious Democratic leanings, has made a number of startling predictions, none more so than the ones surrounding the American Presidents to be elected in 2000 and 2004. He says it over and over, that these Presidents will be in extreme danger of assassination on several occasions. He has particular warnings for Al Gore.

In light of the current election mess and bitter power struggle as I write this review on Dec. 9, 2000 (rerere-counting votes and no President-elect in sight yet!), Meece's predictions for the Presidency are beginning to make a lot more sense. Read this book and then pray for the President for the next 8 years.

Not exactly what I was expecting. Out of 20 chapters, only 5 deal with actual eventualities for the new millennium. The rest describe formations affecting the new millennium and how these configurations manifested in historic events in the past.

The other problem I have with this book is I don't trust authors who can't keep their own political agendas out of their supposedly neutral books. It is obvious he is a liberal Democrat, something I do not need to know and really don't care about.

The bottom line is you could read your birth sign in the last chapter and skim the rest of the book.

Horoscope for the New Millenium has an amazing amount of info which i have found in no other astrology book of any kind.

Its lists of outer planetary cycles are useful beyond measure, especially considering what is going on in the world these days. Mr. Meece gives us not only the Modern Humanity Chart (Neptune conjunct Pluto, 1892), but what your own natal contacts to that chart can mean for you. The Revised World Order Chart of 2030--Saturn and Uranus in Gemini-- is interestingly included for consideration.

This book covers art, economics, politics (the U.S. chart--using Lynes' version for 4:47 pm--is well-covered and presented in comparison to the Modern Humanity Chart), Revolutions and their outcomes, Holy Wars, and so much more. The historical info/dates alone would be informative for the non-astrologer!

As in the other reviews here listed, i agree that many of his predictions are already being born out, this being 2004, while, of course, some predictions are now moot--Gore ain't the prez, as it quirkily turns out.

One cycle i was especially interested in was the Uranus/Pluto conjunction of 1966---exactly on my natal Asc. "Every time two of the three outer planets come together, a radical shift happens in society. It's as if we've entered a whole new world. The conjunction leaves its firm imprint on all of our lives", p.76. This is fascinating stuff!

And having done a good bit of work on charts for the French Revolution, i was happy to see the Proclamation of the Republic Chart, Sept 22,1792 among many others of historical interest--including the chart for The Generation of Materialism (1881) which is relevant to today's wheelers and dealers.

Need to know about the Great Cycle? How far along are we nowadays in that Cycle? It began in 575 B.C., when Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were conjunct. 'How's that going?', you may wonder. This book will help you with such weighty issues--see Chapter 5.

Eclipse info is, of course, included, and the Time Lines extend further forward And backward than any i've found elsewhere, so if you have any interest in mundane charts, politics, the future, or your own chart's connections to these larger cycles, i recommend this book most highly.

This book was amazing! For anyone who's interested in learning what the future will hold . . . even those who don't believe the idiotic horoscopes that appear in the daily newspaper. Eric Alan Meece rises above zodiacal simplification and superstition-based astrology to elevate astology into a science and an art. He explains, with remarkable accuracy, the several astrological factors, from sun sign to moon sign to outer planets, that correspond with personality traits. Astrology revolves all around archetypes, and assigning them to celestial bodies and periods of time. His discussion of the different generations, each with the expected corresponding astrological combinations at time of birth, is a must-read, and his description of different generational waves is so true it's scary. Meece convincingly shines insight onto famous paintings in a way that archetypally connects countries around the world, body parts, and the four elements. Even skeptics (NOT cynics) will find inspiring matter in here. A definite recommendation -- should definitely have a higher sales rank number up there!
