About the Author

Jim Maynard started studying astrology in 1971 when he moved to Sacramento. He published the first of his series of astrological calendars as the ''Astrologer's Calendar 1974'' while teaching a class on Astrology at California State University, Sacramento and working at the Tides Bookstore.
The following year he changed the name of the wall calendar to ''Celestial Influences 1975'' and introduced the ''Pocket Astrologer 1975.'' After complaints about the small type and lack of room for notes in the Pocket Astrologer, he started producing the ''Celestial Guide'' week-at-a-glance engagement calendar with the 1977 edition. A more compact version of Celestial Guide called ''Astrologer's Datebook'' was introduced with the 2002 edition.

The very first of his calendars was the first publication to include Void-of-Course times and the v/c notation for void-of-course. Celestial Calendars were also the first astrological calendars to include times of phenomena such as aspects, information about eclipses, and more.

I've been carrying the Maynard's for almost 10 years now. I am the worst when it comes to computing charts, but I like what's in this book. Clear, easy-to-understand daily aspects, with monthly tables in the back. It's a wealth of great info, and not too challenging...it's a great intro for new enthusiasts, while being completely functional for the more serious among us.

I can't recommended this too highly - it's a great gift for your friends who are just learning. Kids can enjoy this. Phases of the moon, important dates, eclipse data...great artwork!

Pocket Astrologer has been my essential companion since the early 80's. It fits easily into a pack or purse and has all the astrological information required for a quick consultation. The artwork is always interesting and inspiring. I would be lost without it. Increasingly hard to find in stores so I'm happy that I can get it via Amazon.

Jim Maynard's Pocket Astrologer is an indispensable tool for my professional scheduling (and I am not an astrologer). It provides everything I need for selecting dates in a compact package. It's not everywhere
that you find precise timing for Moon Void of Course, and knowing this is vital to my work.
