Popular astrologer Kris Brandt Riske presents the essentials of astrology in a clear, step-by-step way, paying special attention to three areas of popular interest: relationships, career, and money. She explains the meaning of the planets, zodiac signs, houses, and aspects, and how to interpret their significance in your chart. Over 30 illustrations, including the birth charts of several famous people—Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, and Tiger Woods, to name just a few—add a helpful visual dimension to your learning experience.

Relating An Astrological Guide to Living with Others on a Small Planet
Dr. Greene uses basic astrological concepts symbolically and practically, in a framework of Jungian psychology, to show the ways in which people relate to one another on both concious and unconscious levels. The book is an original, advanced, information-packed, provocative and well-organized work. There are no structures of ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ in its pages, but there is a good deal of respect for the many differences between human beings. For general readership, it will be quite literally an eye opener. The successful fusion of astrology and psychology will be revealing for many counsellors, as the author is a pioneer in this work. The book will be a reference work for all interested in Jungian, Transpersonal and all post-Maslovian psychological movements, although the author emphasizes that it is written for all people everywhere who want to be more aware of themselves and their relationships.

5 Stars Intelligent intro to psychological astrology
An excellent introduction to the synthesis of modern astrology and psychology (mainly Jungian) that characterizes much of the highly influential writing by author Liz Greene. The complex subtleties of both astrology and psychology are clearly explained and interwoven throughout. The style is balanced, intelligent and imaginative.
A key theme is that what we meet in our external reality is very much a reflection of our inner life. Liz Greene draws on both the astrological symbols of the birth chart and psychological concepts such as projection, shadow and anima/animus to outline a path towards greater understanding and increased individual responsibility. This approach to life offers an alternative to blaming our parents, partners - or even astrological birth charts - for our problems! Wisely, there are no easy answers here, but there is a great deal of insight into the human condition. Example charts and case histories are used to great effect.
Not everyone is a fan of Liz Greene and her psychotherapeutic perspective on astrology, but “Relating” is one of many major contributions that Greene has made to the cosmic science. It is well worth a read, particularly if you are relatively new to astrology. Apart from anything else, there’s plenty of general advice on relationships that just about everyone can benefit from!

Midpoints Identify and Integrate Midpoints Into Horoscope Synthesis Special Topics in Astrology
Midpoints add nuance, detail, and depth to your astrological interpretations. Yet some astrologers shy away from this valuable analysis, perhaps daunted by the sheer volume of measurements involved.
Don McBroom offers an easy approach to midpoints for professionals and individuals. You’ll learn how to single out the most significant midpoint pictures and interpret them. McBroom explores many focal points-including the Sun/Moon midpoint, which defines core values. Midpoint significance is illuminated in examples based on the birth charts of Walt Disney, Meryl Streep, Thomas Edison, Steven Spielberg, Janis Joplin, and many other historical and contemporary icons.
By integrating these dynamic planetary relationships into your natal chart analysis, you’ll uncover exciting characteristics that will enrich your overall interpretation.
