Understanding the Astrological Vertex: Love and Life When Fate Takes the Driving Seat

by Sasha Fenton, Jan Budkowski (Illustrator)

Sasha's latest book explains why our emotions sometimes have a mind of their own. The effects can range from mildly pleasant or irritating, to ecstatic, devastating and life-changing. The Vertex is one of the most powerful points in your natal chart, yet little has been written about it. Internationally renowned astrologer and President of the British Astrological & Psychic Society, Sasha Fenton guides you through this emotionally charged area of astrology, in her inimitably accessible but thorough style of writing.

About the author

I’m an author, speaker and publisher. My husband, Jan Budkowski, and I run two publishing companies:
Stellium Ltd (www.stelliumpub.com) for fiction, digital and self-publishing services, and
Zambezi Publishing Ltd (www.zampub.com) for Mind, Body & Spirit titles.

I became a professional astrologer, palmist and Tarot card reader in 1974, but I tailed off my consultancy business when my writing took off. I’ve written 136 books, mainly on mind, body & spirit subjects, with total sales of around 7 million copies, and translations of some titles into twelve languages. Like an addict, I still write, most recently a trio of time travel, action romance novels – the Tudorland series (Sophie’s Inheritance, Lucy’s Dilemma and Emily’s Mistake), a gentle spell book (Spells in Focus) for our publishing company, and In Focus: Astrology for Quarto.com

I’ve taught, broadcast and lectured all over the world, and written for many magazines and newspapers. One of my favourite features was a detailed Chinese Astrology column in Prediction magazine, starting with the January 2012 issue, until the magazine sadly closed a year later. I’ve been interested in Chinese Astrology for some time, and I concentrate on making it more accessible to our western minds.

As a past President of the British Astrological and Psychic Society (BAPS), past Chair for the Advisory Panel on Astrological Education and past member of the Executive Council of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, I like to think I have contributed to the writing and mind, body & spirit communities in the UK.

More recently, Jan and I created MBS Professionals Ltd, a unique, international accreditation/certification home for Mind, Body & Spirit professionals. (www.mbsprofessionals.com)

Although I still love to write, Jan and I now spend more time in running our MB&S publishing business (Zambezi Publishing Ltd), and in our brief spare time, a spot of fly fishing in the beautiful South West of England is a great way to relax...

[Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of the only books on the subject, which stands on its own merit. I am now curious how to differentiate the anti-Vertex from the Vertex, and about interpreting the East and West points - although frequently mentioned, they are beyond the scope of this book.

Of all Vetex books (which there aren't many) this book has the most down to earth information so I'd say it's the best place to start ones research on the Vertex. Good job.
