(...) I realise that they are produced for a mass audience but, especially in financial matters, Susan's thoughts tend to be spot on. With regards to the romantic side, however, I find her to be a little too optimistic... but that's just my opinion.

She nailed a legacy from a female relative, she nailed my house purchase, she nailed the week in which to settle for a mortgage (I got a historically low rate, which lasted for exactly one week, and has never been seen again), she nailed a huge (HUGE) pay rise and she just nailed a payout from an insurance company.

I can only assume that someone out there is getting all my "love luck".

I like Susan's approach; it's accessible. She's not always right but, by God, she's rarely far from the mark.

When it comes to yearly forecasts, Susan Miller is awesome. She gives an in depth overview of each sign, giving the good, the bad, and the ugly. Retrograde dates are given as well as trines and other planetary movements. I love this series.

Susan has a friendly and clear way to explain all about astrology, she is very good with her monthly forecast, I totally love her page.
If you are interested in learn about astrology, don't look anything else, read any of her books.

According to Miller I should have gotten married last year. I'm still single. The myth abouth astrology is that your natal charts basically have your life set in stone. Astrology is a growth tool to be used to understand energetic influences, strengths, weaknesses, identify best strategies, etc. it is not about prediction and public astrologers such as Miller have editors to listen to. Not only are forecasts written in sensational language, they are based to appeal to a broad general audience. This is not news. However, if you have ever had your chart done an astrology explains that you have signs in all planets. When you read a horoscope section it is only writing in relation to your sun sign. If you were born at a certain time of the year your sun sign is the one absed on the date. You also have a "moon" sign, a "rising" sign, and your Mars could be in Capricorn, Jupiter in Picses, even if your a Gemini. Keep in mind that astrology is fun and I see it as a form of symbolic stories of wisdom, Jungian psychoanalysts usually refer to conscious images as clue to what's going on deeper in the mind. I can't say I believe it. I used to be really into it as a teenager and from time to time as an adult. Usually these were periods of confusion for me and I suspect for most people the over-reliance on a zodiac columnist may stem from that. Save your money and skim through this in a bookstore. If you are gung-ho on knowing what future lies in your stars then find a reputable astrologer in your city. Ask friends whose opinions you trust. Check out holistic stores and magazines. Most of all use the kind of objective discretion that you would if selecting a medical doctor. Astrology is very interpretive and training as one is not regulated. So you're playing Russian Roulette. Once you find someone have your chart done. Better yet learn astrology yourself and use it as an empowering tool to create the life you want. The key is ... don't start until you are very sure of what it is your heart truly desires.
