I bought this book for two reasons; I became interested in the ancient Maya, as a project for my Anthropology class in college. The interest stayed with me, so the book was a natural progression. Secondly, I do natal astrology charts and discovered the astrologer, Bruce Scofield, online at "The Mountain Astrologer" website. As I read every article I could find by him, I discovered that he is an authority on the Maya culture.
The Mayan calendar in itself is a challenge...and if you're up to it, I recommend this book as a wonderful teacher. Bruce Scofield presents material that can be difficult to fathom, in a simple, easy to study and understand manner.
Highly recommended.

This book is very user friendly. After doing some birth calculations on my own I found the authors personality desriptions amazingly accurate. For anyone who has an interest in astrology, I highly recommend Mayan astrology.

As a fulltime psychic astrologer for over 36 years who has studied and used Western, Chinese, Hindu, and Native American Astrology to help over fifty thousand clients from all walks of life, I find this book to be remarkable in every respect. Deep, informative, fun, easy to read, incredibly meaningful, with a terrific one hundred year ephemeris attached that will enable you to "read" all your friends and family with much insight and amazement.

Within hours of reading it, I had much greater insight into the lives of my clients than through any other single source. It makes me think that Mayan astrology is the core astrology of all astrologies, revealing the soul energies of human beings as no other system; yet, as an adjunct to all the other world systems serves as a catalyst that "leavens the whole loaf."

Suffice to say, I am now ordering every book I can on Mayan Astrology with fond anticipation. And I strongly recommend that any astrologer seeking more wisdom, or any human seeing more insight, buy and read this book immediately.

This book was quite an easy and fun read! It, by far, is the most accessible book I've come across on Mayan astrology and I thoroughly enjoyed putting together charts for myself and others. The authors are clearly well-versed in the subject and eager to make it understandable to all.

My further studies of the "Mayan Calendar" confirm MY ERROR. And I apologize to Mr. Scofield for my previous comments which were based on sound mathematics; but resulted in errors of interpretation of my findings. There ARE differiencs of interpretation between Señor Arguelles and Dr. Calleman. This book seems to accurately reflect research from a perspective similar to Dr. Carl Calleman. I have attempted to change my rating of this book without success; but now believe it warrants (at least) 4 stars. [10/30/2008]

I have just started learning about Mayan Astrology and the Mayan Calander. This book was clear and easy to understand which was very helpful since I started out knowing nothing about the subject. Would recommend this for any beginner.

Although this method of astrology is unusual from a Western point of view, the results are extremely accurate.

The book "Mayan Astrology" is well written, and enables even a person with limited astrology experience to develop and read a chart. Mayan astrology is like peeling an onion - many layers.
