In this new revised edition of her acclaimed "Planetary Threads" Lynn Bell includes a new introductory chapter, setting out an approach to family themes in the individual chart. Her innovative exploration of the patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior which run back through generations is enhanced by her unique adaptation of the genogram (a map utilized in family therapy) highlighting particular planetary placements and aspects that recur in families. Her often dramatic case material, presented in fascinating detail, is rich and revealing, and we are gradually offered a profound vision of the intricately woven tapestry of the family matrix from which we spring, and the ways in which we repeat - or transform - the astrological and psychological inheritance which each of us carries.
There are some flaws in the editing, for example a page is missing and there are some typos in some sentences, but the content of the book is very valuable. I loved it and got a lot of notes out of it.
This book about psychological astrology focuses on the 5th house -11th house axis and the 10th house-4th house axis. There are some brilliant insights.
