From the Author
Identifying Planetary Triggers was written as a companion volume to my first book, with an emphasis here on planetary returns. Individual chapters cover the Solar Return, Lunar Return, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn returns. This makes up the largest section of the book, while a section on progressions and another on transits makes the volume quite a thorough reference to have for forecasting.
Now, a book called Identifying Planetary Triggers that's almost 400 pages long could be a bit formidable unless you understand that you won't use all this information at once. No one will expect you to.
Say you or a client want to know about romance; once you determine the condition of the fifth house indicators as outlined in Part One, you'll turn right to the Venus Return chapter to interpret and make your forecast. If you have a client who's an entrepreneur, you'll use the Mars Return to guide him or her to the best time to undertake a new venture. Or, use the Mercury Return to find a risk-free time to purchase a new vehicle. For each of the returns, you're led step by step through the interpretation and shown how to find hot spots for event timing. Case histories are illustrated in each chapter so you can see the dynamics at work.
So, while you won't get through the entire book in a day, the information is there when you need it. Say Jupiter has become prominent and forming nice aspects in the progressed chart; the Jupiter Return will be instrumental in determining when the promised benefits should be expected to materialize. I can pretty much guarantee you'll learn something valuable here no matter how long you've been working with planetary returns.
Best wishes on your astrological journey, Celeste Teal
