Amazon.com Review
The Enchanted Astrologer melds the stars with the cards in an inspiring divination system. Created by spouses and "soul mates" Monte Farber and Amy Zerner, the set comes with a 200-page guidebook and stack of 36 cards with block-print illustrations. Tempting as it may be, the system is not designed to "make the decisions for you," according to Farber, who writes the text. Instead, it is meant to "help you make better decisions." After readers meditate upon a specific concern or question, they choose a single card from the deck. Readers then refer to the guidebook to interpret the card's "answer." According to the authors, this system relies upon the Jungian principle of meaningful coincidence. "In other words, at the moment when you are asking your question with the strong intention of getting an answer, your answer is contained in the world around you," Farber writes. The cards are divided into three categories: zodiac signs, houses, and planets. All of Amy Zerner's colorful cards are a visual delight, and the corresponding write-ups in the guidebook offer clear, insightful messages. --Gail Hudson

3.0 out of 5 stars A fun Oracle for beginners!, July 19, 2003

By	Neil J. Hajba "neil_in_la" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Enchanted Astrologer is a fun way of learning the Zodiac, the different astological houses, the ruling planets, etc. The artwork is very pretty and the readings are pretty accurate (but very general compared to the Tarot or another Oracle)!

I bought this set (Cards come with a How-to-Use book) on sale....after opening and using them, I wouldn't ever pay full price! Recommended for the beginning Astrologer and/or Diviner. Advanced Practioners will find this deck too bland and general for professional or regular usage.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that great..., June 13, 2009

By	R. Lomas (Hayden, ID) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found The Enchanted Astrologer to be very "chance" driven. You have to pull from a very large paragraph, the answer you want. The chance of finding something related to you on each card is highly likely, so therefore, I feel that its not that accurate. You are also limited to only the answers that are written. Sometimes the cards can be fun and useful, other times you'll feel that its not worth your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love MY Enchanted Astrologer !, December 25, 2002

By	"mysd1215" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

My (ex) boyfriend bought this for me last year (2001) for Christmas - and I absolutely LOVE it! The pictures are of Amy's tapestries for each house, sign, and planet...they're BEAUTIFUL! It's really easy to read...I use my Enchanted Astrologer ALL the time!*In fact* that's what brought me to this site...I'm on Cristmas break and realized that I left my book at home!
Yikes!
