Llewellyn Publications (P.O. Box 64383-0383, St. Paul, Minn. 55164-0383; 800-THE-MOON) presents two new self-help titles in July. Tired of being told to administer sedatives instead of backrubs to save time and weary of participating in "the war against death" in her nursing career, professional tarot consultant Christine Jette turned to alternative treatments that "focus on the mind-body connection, as both a cause and a cure of illness." Tarot for the Healing Heart: Using Inner Wisdom to Heal Body and Mind offers spiritual counseling on meditation, developing psychic ability and holistic wellness practices, and 10 original tarot arrangements for healing. Illus. In Astrology & Relationships: Techniques for Harmonious Personal Connections, David Pond (Chakras for Beginners), a professional astrologer and yoga teacher, eschews the notion that certain signs are incompatible and contends that "all relationships can improve... once we learn to accept and compensate for our differences." The "patterns of the planets... through the heavens... just as your life experiences, are ever changing, never to repeat themselves, yet harmony exists." Pond tracks the planets through the zodiac, providing, with exercises, a model for self-exploration and relationship development.

Book Description
Most of what is published about astrological relationships covers the same ground. We've all read that Libra gets along well with Leo, Aries is bound to clash with Capricorn, Pisces and Scorpio are natural lovers, and so on. It all sounds like a pretty well worn formula, but there's one problem-- people are not that simple, and neither are relationships!
Astrology & Relationships takes a much more satisfying path, showing how astrology can help you improve all of your relationships. It addresses the complexities of real relationships by revealing the essential nature, needs, strengths, and challenges of every combination. Then it takes the unique step of offering exercises that will help you manifest the true potential that exists between each of the signs.
This book emerged from actual experiences between a practicing professional astrologer and the thousands of people he has worked with. The ideas and exercises included within have been tried, tested, and refined so that they can be integrated into daily living. The program presented in this book has been proven to work--not just in theory, but in real life.
