5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent analysis of the Signs of the Zodiac, December 2, 1997

By	[e-mail] (Ypsilanti, Michigan) - See all my reviews

I was very impressed by the depth of information this book provided. At times I felt almost overwhelmed because I thought there couldn't possibly be anymore to the mythology of this sign, and sure enough, there was! An unqualified yes to get this book for anyone seriously interested in Astrology, Mythology, or even Wholistic Psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant -- has the ring of truth - 6 stars ******, May 15, 2004

By	Anthony Louis (USA) - See all my reviews

Burt has done a masterful job writing about astrology from a mythical and Jungian perspective. She truly understands the signs of the zodiac and the issues they represent in our lives. Her comments on the natal sun progressing during the life cycle are especially illuminating. To my mind, this book is one of the classic texts of modern astrology. I return to it repeatedly for fresh insights about the celesial craft. It is, hands down, the most influential astrology text I have read in the past decade. Burt's volume ranks with Bob Hand's "Planets in Transit" as a treasured astrological resource. It deserves 6 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Highly Recommend This Book!, January 23, 2000

By	"brock12000" (Miami, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

I'm a professional Astrologer and have been teaching classes since 1978. I frequently recommend this book to my more advanced students who really want to learn about the deeper archetypal patterns in psychological astrology. A GREAT book!
