About the Author

 

Graduating from the West Coast College of Astrology in the mid 80s, Celeste Teal (Arizona) actually began her journey into the field of astrology as a complete skeptic. The first time she opened a book on the subject, in 1975, it was to discredit astrology and to prove to an acquaintance that astrology couldn’t be believed. However, the first book she opened happened to show a little more than the usual sun sign descriptions and she found enough truth within those pages to convince her that there was indeed something to it. The surprising revelation that the planetary positions at our birth and their movements following birth are somehow synchronized with human events greatly excited her and it wasn’t long before she realized she’d found her calling as she delved passionately into the art of astrology as a means by which to learn more about the meaning of life.

Her goal is to promote astrology and teach astrologers the most valuable and reliable techniques for interpreting the horoscope. 

Celeste Teal has continually written for the popular astrology magazines since 1986. These include American Astrology Magazine, Dell Horoscope, Astrology, Your Daily Horoscope, and True Astrology Forecast. She has written for Sydney Omarr’s Astrological Guide and has contributed to Today’s Astrologer, a publication by the American Federation of Astrologer’s and to the Arizona Society of Astrologer’s newsletter.

Celeste Teal is the author of three well-received books, Predicting Events with Astrology, 1999; Identifying Planetary Triggers, 2000; and Eclipses: Predicting World Events & Personal Transformation, 2006; all published by Llewellyn Worldwide.  Her most recent book, Eclipses, was reviewed in Library Journal.

Celeste is hostess of her popular website, called Moon Valley Astrologer (at www.moonvalleyastrologer.com). Celeste provides fee-based personal tutoring services on line, in addition to providing consultations for an established professional clientele.

This review is from: Lunar Nodes: Discover Your Soul's Karmic Mission (Paperback)

I've collected books on the nodes for many years. Some were good, like Jan Spillers book on the nodes by sign and house, but most did not cover them in much depth. This book covers the nodes in aspect to all the planets, by house and sign, in aspect to chiron and Part of Fortune, in synastry, in solar returns and progressed charts as well. It also has an indepth discussion of the north and south nodes in terms of karma. It goes on to talk about the nodes in transit and in relationship to the angles. In most cases she dedicates a chapter to each topic. This book should be on the shelf of any astrologer who has enough knowledge to read a chart wheel. Great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific!, December 2, 2008

This review is from: Lunar Nodes: Discover Your Soul's Karmic Mission (Paperback)

This book is the most comprehensive I've ever found on the lunar nodes. Teal covers the gamut from nodes in the birth chart to transiting nodes and nodes in progressions and solar returns. She also has some real gems in here on the Vertex and the part of fortune. Her research is impressive, her writing style fluid and clear. The book should be on every astrologer's shelf, but I recommend it for non-astrologers, too, for people who are simply interested in what the nodes might mean in their own natal charts.

This review is from: Lunar Nodes: Discover Your Soul's Karmic Mission (Paperback)

I just received this book last week and cannot put it down. There are no books like this available regarding the nodes. The author is very experienced and she covers every aspect of the nodes from birth aspect to progression and transits. A must read in my opinion.
