Bravo, read this book, good fortune is sure to follow, January 31, 2004
This review is from: Madalyn Aslan's Jupiter Signs: How to Improve Your Luck, Career, Health, Finance, Appearance, and Relationships through the New Astrology (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book and holds together extremely well.. . The title of this latest offering entices the reader with promises of luck, career and finances( with a little hard work of your own), and it delivers.
Madalyn Aslan is one of our foremost astrologers, a woman of real depth and decades of experience as a practising astrologer and spiritualist. She always has access to a great depth of astrological wisdom and an often astonishing insight, knife edge accuracy. She has left me spellbound. At times she can be jaunty and light hearted in her approach. This kept me reading what has been in other astrolgical books rather dull. She is this millineum's Linda Goodman.
Madalyn's Jupiter is responsible for success, fortune, luck and fame. She immediately connects her readers with the magic of astrology in enabling the reader to "become privy to information that is not readily available through any other medium". She relates this to our ordinary lives. We are made aware of astrology's value as a tool to understanding human mythology, philosophy and the roots of culture. The author takes us through a journey of exploration equating this route as taking humans from the ideal to the specific; making valuable connections with the whole misunderstood process of creativity providing of context information acts as the perfect foil for Madalyn's experience of how the astrological symbols behave in mundane lives.
And so this book begins its main thrust, involving the reader in a true educational process which is also fun. Madalyn's humour is evident in interactions with her audience, and this moves the book along nicely versus other offerings which can preresent us with the heavy clogging 'religious' quality of many astrological texts. I found the treatment dead accurate. I found myself relating to incidents in my life with the material in the book. Its approach is for those of us who are astroligical novices.
The studying of Jupiter and its current forces on our lives as is passes through our heavens every 27 years making cataclysmic changes to all in its path. Jupiter is associated with expansion, growth and opportunity. It represents the higher mind, wisdom, enthusiasm, optimism, benevolence and generosity. Jupiter's action is to expand, preserve and increase on all levels. Jupiter effects one's faith, confidence and buoyancy. It shows the areas where one will find opportunity, growth and fulfilment. While our success, accomplishments and prosperity are all within Jupiter's realm. If you have had the good fortune and intellect to read this book then Bravo! You are on the road to all in which the cover promises and the planet was put in the sky for us to benefit from.

***ABSOLUTELY AMAAAZING!!!***, February 3, 2004
This review is from: Madalyn Aslan's Jupiter Signs: How to Improve Your Luck, Career, Health, Finance, Appearance, and Relationships through the New Astrology (Hardcover)
I purchased Madalyn Aslan's book and LOVE IT. I
can **actually** now look up my Libra Jupiter sign INSTEAD of my Capricorn Sun Sign in weekly/daily (basically *all other*) horoscopes??? Because Capricorn horoscopes don't seem to really fit me very well. In certain circumstances, yes...but not that many. And when I read her book--I
flipped!!!! The Libra pages described me to a tee!!! This is coming from someone who has been virtually obsesssed with the whole study of astrology...and therefore immersed myself in as much as I could. But after reading this book--SO much more was explained and I found a whole new territory that was left unexplored for me. I DEFINATLY recommend it to anyone who feels their sun sign doesn't "totally encompass all of who they are".

I cannot rave enough about this book! It is so illuminating and empowering. Once I read it so many things made sense. Madalyn Aslan is intuitive, articulate, and so much fun to read. I was so impressed by the amount of research and thought that went into this book. Best astrology book - cannot recommend it enough.
