Nance McCullough has improved her 'Love Book' (Love formulas: the works!) with updated and new charts and a new chapter with insightful new observations about the position of the sun, moon or ascendant in your partner's 7th house. This new edition is more appealing, more professional and the layout has changed. As the Love Book, this edition is full of wisdom, real life experiences and true astrology. Tried and true methods that have have stood the test of time since Nance wrote her first edition. The author is a real promotor of the equal houses and I have been using them too besides the Topocentric system that I've been using for a lot of years (since reading Alexander Marr's books). Nance has a point: the equal houses really do work, though I still remain using the topocentric system (especially in solar returns because when you see an intercepted sign in a solar return you KNOW that the meaning of this interception will definitely come into the open in the second half of the solar year). There is so much that still amazes me in this book (as in the first edition): the numerous methods that she mentions without getting difficult (the extra bad aspects, bad aspects, extra good and good aspects; the elements; arabic parts; a most interesting topic about numerology and cycles; strong accents of planets or aspects or dominant planets; etc... etc...). Still there is no other synastry book like her's. It's just wonderful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Informative but judgemental and unprogressive, December 14, 2008

By

This review is from: Love Formulas-2 (Paperback)

While I enjoyed the book I found a lot of the information rather dated, judgemental, and just plain ridiculous- examples of this:

Author writes: "Don't push for divorce because most marriages are karmic"-the whole point of reading the book is to determine what relationships will be potentially rewarding not submitting to random karma!

Author writes: "Upon marriage or pseudo marriage, the partners lose their own charts and aquire their combined charts as one" followed by a biblical quote... while I recognize the significance of composite charts the idea that marriage causes two individuals to lose their identity is ludicrous.

Author writes: "Harsh Venus/Uranus aspects have tendencies towards cunnilungus and fellatio. These tendencies can also occur during a heavy progression aspect involving Venus and Uranus". Thanks for the warning Nancy, I will make sure to look out for that!

Author writes: "The Mars/Uranus woman delights in breaking up homes and once she has her man she is no longer interested". I could see this tendency- key word being tendency- not fact. And one Mars/Uranus aspect is hardly enough for such a bold statement.

The chapter on Arabic Parts basically only tells you how to erect an Arabic chart with a few examples. It does not go into what aspects to avoid, what the effect will be if say, the part of catastrophe mentioned aspects planets in the partners natal/progressed/solar return chart. Nor does it indicate how arabic parts in synastry with each other work nor if composite arabic charts are viable.

I did enjoy the first chapter summarizing good and bad aspects and the notes at the back of the book with rather black and white views on the effect of certain placement-it's more fun to read than more modern astrology where many aspects are primarily considered gray although I doubt most modern day astrologers would accept most of comments.

Nance McCullough's book, Love Formulas- 2, is a wonderful little book that explains astrological synastry and its many accurate intricacies in an easy to read, almost conversational style. I found myself fascinated and unable to put the book down as I applied her revelations to my own relationship charts. Her insights about aspects provided me with some amazing "aha!" moments, as if she had interviewed those of my personal concern, read their charts and supplied me with the exact understanding I was looking for. Her examples are personal and compelling. I have a substantial collection of books on this subject and her's is a welcome addition. She does not just rewrite what is already known but has provided new meaning that, much to my surprise, resonated with my soul! Primarily writing about chart overlays, she touches on other interesting methods of relationship analysis, particularily, numerology.
I liked her aspect analysis the best. I am sure I will find myself refering to her work over and over as a great resource in my future explorations of synastrical analysis. I highly recommend this book to those interested in relationship astrology.
