Editorial Reviews

Review
"The Star Gazer is a wonderfully innovative text that teaches the rudiments of astrology within the context of Hawaiian cultural values. It is an absolute must- have book for anyone who is interested in astrology. Bravo!" -- Basil T. Fearrington, Astrologer, coauthor, Astrology Looks at History

"The Star Gazer is the book Roberleigh was born to write. It is the fulfillment of the astrologer's dream. With wonderfully measured prose, she weaves us glowingly through Hawaiian legend and makes a classic contribution to the already rich history of star lore." -- Haizen Paige, Astrologer, author, Haizen's Classic Moon Finder

"I enjoyed The Star Gazer very much. It is a good read and is very well written. It is a unique and interesting way to present both Western and Hawaiian ideas of astrology in one context." -- Serge King, author, Kahuna Healing and Earth Energies

"I enjoyed this book. It's simply written and touches on an area of mythology seldom discussed in relation to astrology. Since it relates to the signs, it would be a good general interest book for anyone interested in mythology, astrology or Hawaiian culture. And I'd suspect that children as well as adults would relate to the stories." -- Donna Van Toen, The Mountain Astrologer, June/July 1998

"With The Star Gazer, Roberleigh H Claigh gives you wonderful stories to help you connect and reconnect with your own power as well as to nature, family and friends." -- AdZe MiXXe, Astrologer, author and publisher, AdZe's Almanac

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting spin on the Hawaiian version of astrology., May 8, 2002
This book teaches Hawaiian astrology in the framework of Hoku-Heleli a kahuna that is teaching his son Hoku-iki astrology.

In this teaching; Hoku-iki is taught the constelations, which Akua (god of goddess) rules the constelation, then Hoku-Helelie expounds on the teaching by telling an appropriate Hawaiian legend as in "Kane and the creation myth", "The righteous warrior", "Papa and Wakea", "Hina and the moon", and others to illustrate the meaning of the signs. I am surprised that Pele is not mentioned in the book.

The book also teaches the importance of living in harmony with the rest of Creation.

I only have one tiny nitpick with the book. Ms. Claig refers to Io as the supreme or ultimate God (There are many names for the Creator that I need not go into). The nitpick is that Hawaiians were aware of the Creator; but did not pray to the supreme God because they felt that the supreme being was beyond human comprension, so they use their Aumakua, the Po'e Aumakua, and the assorted Akua to act as intercessors.

... ...I have read more HUNA books than are listed there,...
