This review is from: Magi Astrology: The Key to Success in Love and Money (Paperback)

In response to the review written by A. L. Lin, may I suggest you use your own databank of friends, family, acquaintances and/or clients to "test" the new ideas presented in this book rather than vast quantities of "unknown" factors such as celebrities. None of us can truly understand an aspect or interaspect unless we have close experience with it. I am currently reading this book and have researched each new idea the Magi Society has presented with my own database of close personal relationships and with the exception only of the sexual aspects have found their new findings to work in REAL LIFE. The sexual aspects as presented by the Magi Society would be hard to prove from a set of incomplete data. I doubt anyone has counted and related the number of sex acts they have performed in order for anyone to research "quantity" and I don't recollect the Magi Society claiming Venus, Mars, Pluto aspects revealed "quantity." I'm pretty sure on this as I have an almost photographic memory. Tell me the page number they mention this on. It's all subjective anyway, and I personally find that a Sun/Mars interaspect is the most compelling for sexual attraction, without which, who would have sex? So I disagree with their sexual findings which they cannot prove and yours which you cannot prove.

The book itself is a plethora of important new information that transforms relational astrology as we know it. For this reason alone, it is vital to every serious astrologer. Alas, although easy to read, it is condescending in tone (as if written for small children) and repeats its precepts ad nauseum into 400 pages that should've been less than half that.

1.0 out of 5 stars interesting reading, but highly dubious, August 1, 2004

By

This review is from: Magi Astrology: The Key to Success in Love and Money (Paperback)

I am a semi-professional Western astrologer with a great interest in the subject of synastry. I use a wide variety of sometimes-obscure techniques in this area, and am always looking for ways to improve my skill set. So, when I came across the Magi Astrology web site, with its claims to THE formula for successful intimate relationships, I was intruiged.

The Magi group practice Western astrology with a number of marked differences from modern standard practice. The Moon is considered to be a minor and mostly malefic body, and is omitted from charts. The time of day is also ignored, thus eliminating the house system we all know and love. The Magi interpretation of other planets also differs from what most Western astrologers believe. Saturn is wholly evil. Neptune rules longevity, health, and security. Chiron is the single most important planet to consider in synastry. The power of a natal chart resides not at all in houses or signs, but entirely in interplanetary aspects including declination.

Other odd claims: the Magi claim their roots from the Shaolin monastery China (a famous center of Zen Buddhism) but practice a form of Christianity that includes the concept of reincarnation. The book holds up Oral Roberts and Billy Graham as archtypal examples of "men of peace". The most interesting claim, to me, is the repeated assertion that the Magi arrived at their techniques through the scientific study of tens of thousands of astrological charts. It is through this claim that the Magi support the validity of their sometimes unusual techniques.

I made it to page 94 in this book before my suspicious got the better of me. I had to verify a least one of their claims before I could continue spending time to learn their system. Page 74 contains an bold assertion that aspects between Venus, Mars, and Pluto directly and clearly indicate extremes of quantity in sexual activity in a native. It was this assertion I decided to test.

Only a few years ago, it may have been impossible for a single individual such as myself to verify such a claim. However, with the advent of powerful personal computers and extensive, publically available astrological databases (such as AstroDataBank), anyone with $200 and a PC can analyze 28,000 birth charts for common patterns in a few minutes. These are my findings:

Number of total charts analyzed: 28042
Number of charts with biographical data indicating extremes in quantity of sex: 262
Number of total charts with linkages between Venus, Mars, AND Pluto: 1119
Number of "extreme sex" charts with V+M+P linkages: 9

The final number should have been MUCH higher. This indicates, at least to me, that Venus-Mars-Pluto linkages are not by any means the primary indicator for unusual quantity of sexual activity. Such linkages may not, in fact, be a factor at all. I must conclude that this Magi claim is most likely false.

This begs the question: how many of the other numerous claims in this book are reliable? There may well be useful information in the book. I am very curious about declination, and I think the Magi declination charts look spiffy. But I cannot recommend this book because I believe that much of it will prove useless in actual practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Best book on Chiron EVER, March 10, 2009

This review is from: Magi Astrology: The Key to Success in Love and Money (Paperback)

Interestingly enough we have a 1 star rating and the reviewer has a point. Since the publishing of this book the Magi has made new discoveries in astrology specifically pertaining to the sexual problem that the reviewer researched. This is the discovery of how Juno is the most sexual of the sexual planets.

The Magi Society has come a long way since the publishing of this book and continue to research and test the symbolism of the planets. The symbolism of the Magi Society has the highest integrity of any other organization. Chiron is very important but it is not the single most important planet. The whole chart when read with skill can demonstrate this. The Magi Society has demonstrated many other techniques for reading charts such as planetary synchronization, reading symmetrical planetary geometry. I look forward to the future publications from the Magi Society.
