I think it's a good easy to read beginner/intermediate book for predicting. I also appreciated how it helped me to understand the natal chart better. Her explanation on the differences between squares, oppositions, and conjunctions is invaluable. The marriage section was also excellent although I'm not completely convinced with the luminary aspects indicating children potential. She said herself it didn't always work. The progressed part I think could have had a better explanation on what exactly are progressed planets and if the progressed planet chart itself and its aspects has any value. For example, I currently have a t-square in my progressed chart. Is that significant as a driver or aspect? I also think there could have been some explanation on separating and applying aspects since that's not something that I had come across before. The career section was lacking but I will check out her recommendation. Other than that I got a lot from this book and recommend it to astrologers who have gotten a good meal of the basics.

My go-to during Eclipse season as someone else already said. REALLY helpful for Saturn returns. Love all the content on progressed moons, as someone with Cancer placements, Carol is absolutely correct in her discoveries of us Cancerians being those who most noticeably shift with those transits. It also helps we share a Virgo sun, it came thru in her writing–much to my delight!
