Robert Sterling Hand (born December 5, 1942) is an American astrologer, author, translator, and lecturer, who received the Regulus Award for his life's work at the "United Astrology Conference" in Denver in 2008
Another wonderful reference point from Mr. Hand by far my favorite published astrologer! :) This is one of the best natal references I've ever utilized & it's good for adults & children alike (though I absolutely love that he worked so hard on a reference tool for kids one of the most vibrant & interesting sub-realms of astrology for me personally)...I recommended this as a good primer for someone close to me who's never really explored astrological interpretations of natal placements but I'd recommend it to experienced astrologers who're looking for a good, other perspective as well :)
A solid pillar in anyone's astrological library / tool-belt, I don't use it nearly as much as Planets in Transit or even Planets in Composite but it's worth reading & keeping around
