5.0 out of 5 stars An authoritative introduction to the astrology of crime, April 8, 2000

By A Customer

This is an excellent, well-written guide for the lay-person who wishes to explore criminal signatures in the horoscope. Each profile is split into two sections: a factual account of the crime and biography of the criminal; and a knowledgeable summary of astrological factors. Very often amateur astrologers get bogged down with too much detail whilst looking for criminal astrological signatures - this book is obviously based on a great deal of research and manages to pinpoint the important elements. Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Zodiac of Death, January 30, 2000

By A Customer

I was VERY disappointed in this book. I found it in the Astrology section, and had hoped to find information that will help in recognizing the charts of people who have the potential for violence. Instead, I found a book that was shallow in the extreme. There was very little on any of these cases to explain the pattern of energies. The greatest value in the book was the birth data. Using this, the astrologer can construct the chart and do his own deliniation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A carefully-researched and entertaining work, November 8, 1999

By A Customer

I came to this book as a true crime fan with an amateur interest in astrology, and I thought it was fascinating. It contains profiles of the lives and charts of 51 killers, some widely-discussed, like Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez brothers, and others lesser-known. The astrology has been edited for the general reader, but appears to have been meticulously researched. For example, the authors profile only those individuals for whom they have obtained the exact time of birth, and the actual charts are included, both of which set this book apart from much popular astrology I've seen. The astrological conclusions are consistent with the school of astrology with which I am familiar. It's a real page-turner, and exceptionally well-written.
