The Web of Rulerships,
By
This review is from: Rulers of the Horoscope (Paperback)
The intricate interweaving of planetary Rulerships is at the secret heart of every chart. Far from being just an 'old school' concern, this web of relationships is an essential starting point for any analysis. If you are checking your transits without this knowledge, you are missing everything! From the first chapter, 'Peeling the Onion', to the last, you will find your confidence growing as you clutch the tablets of Rulership Hierarchies. Study the indicating factors for addiction, androgyny, foibles and flights of fancy. Delineate career, love, family relationship and travel questions with confidence. If you have been avoiding learning the material presented in this book, delay no longer. Rich with relevant example charts of the famous, infamous, and everyday people, peppered with insights, and laden with clearly defined 'cookbook' style examples to aid you, this book is a gem. You'll want to keep it close at hand until you have absorbed all its secrets.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good introduction to rulerships,
By
This review is from: Rulers of the Horoscope (Paperback)
This is a useful and interesting book about rulerships. I find the delineations quite good, though sometimes too short and incomplete. I'm not sure if these delineations are based on massive research or whether they are more theoretically written down. Anyway if you want to know something about the importance of the final dispositor, receptions etc.. you should read the book because these items are very well explained in some short chapters. These chapters I find the best.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting but incomplete,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rulers of the Horoscope (Paperback)
This is a well-enough written book, mainly for intermediate astrologers and beyond. The content helps deepen a person's understanding of horoscope analysis beyond planets in houses and signs. However, due to editorial or author oversight, some of the sections are incomplete, and an inquiry to the author and editor have not been answered. It does expand on books such as the "Only Way" series which have this same kind of information in a more concise format, but still, one wishes that the art of editing were as rigorous as in former times.
