5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for the professional astrologer or serious student October 1, 2001

By Don McBroom

Format:Paperback

Incredibly powerful - yet deceptively simple to comprehend and use - Solar Arc theory and application is clearly explained, demonstrated, and reinforced using major events in the lives of well-known individuals.   The reader is quickly compelled to examine his/her own chart and explore Solar Arcs on a more personal level.

Solar Arcs can easily be incorporated into the Astrologer's arsenal of techniques, helping to better explain past and current events, and prepare a meaningful strategy for the future. Also, individual chapters focus on the use of Solar Arcs in birth time rectification, using Solar Arcs with Midpoint pictures, and the use of Tertiary Progressions to fine-tune astrological timing.
 
The helpful appendices include the "100-year Quick-Glance Ephemeris", and detailed interpretive guidelines for "all 1,130 possible Natal and Solar Arc Midpoint pictures..." 

Don't miss this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solar Arcs Reviewed September 22, 2001

By Cherie Cook

Format:Paperback

I have just finished reading "Solar Arcs" a second time and am completely fascinated by the presentation of the solar arc measurement. Most intriguing and eductional was the easy step-by-step preparation guide and explanation of solar arc(s) interpretation. It all makes perfect sense!

Barely through the first two chapters, I rushed off to apply this method to my chart. Again and again, significant life events showed up precisely on target, corresponding to the appropriate solar arc configuration.

The additional discussion of Tertiary Progressions was insightful. The astrological picture of my significant life events was flushed out in detail, as Tertiary progressions highlighted exact time frames. Amazing.

The chapter on Rectification: clearly illustrates the inherent timing complexities and only should be attempted by an astrologer schooled in these understandings. The explanation of this astrological art was clear and precise.

The sensitive and graceful personal sharing (presented in an astrologer-client format) of current life circumstances provided such rich education. Demonstration of this sort clearly puts the author firmly in the ranks of "walking their astrological talk."

Other examples of verbatim astrologer-client interactions exquisitely captured "real life/astrologically relevant linkage: planetary configurations (Solar Arcs) accurately related to real life circumstances.

Reader-friendly language makes this book equally appealing to the novice or expert astrologer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on predicting future circumstances May 12, 2005

By Zachary Crichfield-Caron

Format:Paperback

In this complex but extremely educational book, Tyl describes the Solar Arc theory amongst others to show you how to exactly progress your NATAL chart foward in order to see the new aspects formed. This book focuses little on basic planetary triggers, but leans heavily on the concept of midpoints (which are far more productive in Transits) I would say, that this book is not for the first-time astrologer; I would highly recommend "The New Way to Learn Astrology: Presenting the Noel Tyl Method" by Basil Fearrington. It is geared more like a school text book, with chapters and quizes at the end of each chapter. I own over 15 Astrology books, and I think Basil and Tyl have it down. Solar Arc theory is highly recommended, but make sure you have a basic knowledge of houses, signs, planets, and the combinations of. If you do, or at least have the concept, buy this book.
