5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book on Sun / Moon sign combinations, August 8, 2002

This review is from: Sun Sign, Moon Sign (Paperback)

Contents summary: Interprets all 144 combinations of Sun and Moon sign in the birth chart separately (420pp). Introduction, including discussion of the Sun, Moon and the elements (46pp). Tables of precise Sun and Moon sign change times, and time zone corrections (96pp).

Charles Harvey, a leading astrological scholar of the later 20th century, died a couple of years ago aged not far from 60, but left behind this modern masterpiece of properly researched basic natal astrology, which originates in the study of real people and draws as much detail out of each of the 144 Sun/Moon combinations as could be hoped for. The interpretations are each substantial in length but concise and packed with observational detail, building very significantly on Grant Lewi's pioneering treatment of the combinations from the 1940s. They inevitably round people up and sometimes typecast the extreme manifestations of each combination a little over-assuredly. They are of course subject to the modifying influence of non-Sun/Moon sign factors in the birth chart, but they come as close as they can given their scope. Indispensable reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is astonishing!, February 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sun Sign, Moon Sign (Paperback)

If you buy only one book on astrology, make it this one. I have read and enjoyed many books on astrology, but never before have I been as consistently amazed by the accuracy of insight into the personalities of people that the authors have never met. I think even many long-time astrologers will be startled by how good a portrait one can draw knowing only the Sun sign and Moon sign.

I doubt that any astrology text could be 100 percent accurate--occasionally there's a few false notes, and once or twice the reading has been a complete miss. But in the large majority of cases, I have found that the analysis of each Sun/Moon type reads like a description written drawn by a close, insightful friend of the subject--describing specific qualities that would not apply to most people.

I must have 75 astrology books on my shelves--this is the one I'd recommend first, to a beginner or to a pro.

P.S. Charles and Suzi, how about writing a book describing Sun signs in each house?

This is a great book. Once you discover a person's moon sign, by using the clear, easy-to-use charts in the back, you simply flip to their particular page in the body of the book. Each sun/moon combination has it's own 2 pages, in which is described the person's personality, outlook on relationships, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Especially helpful are the "image for integration," a sentence or two describing a scene that is representative of the person. I highly reccommend this book to anyone-beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
