About the author
Marcha A. Fox
20 books210 followersMarcha Fox was born in Peekskill, New York and has lived in California, Utah and Texas in the course of raising her family. She now lives in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State.
Her most recent work is the multi-award winning "Dead Horse Canyon Trilogy" written with Northern Cheyenne, Pete Risingsun. A cross-cultural conspiracy thriller, it has been praised for its skillful integration of modern political themes, suspense, and indigenous history and culture. Details are available on the series' website, https://www.Dead-Horse-Canyon.com.
Her passion for science fiction began as a child. While her first stories were written in 6th grade describing her teachers' planets of origin, her determination to write seriously in that genre knew no bounds, such that she went back to college in her 30s to obtain a bachelor’s of science degree in physics.
After graduation she spent over 23 years working in the aerospace industry, most of which was at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas where she held a variety of positions including technical writer, engineer and eventually manager.
Science and engineering experience notwithstanding, it’s the unexplained mysteries of the cosmos, such as psi phenomena, time travel and the concept of a universal consciousness, which fascinate her the most and provide the setting for her Star Trails Tetralogy. Centered on the Brightstar family who has been torn apart by a storm of political and scientific intrigue, they will stop at nothing until they are reunited.

I love this book. Intrigued as I am about the myths, sometimes the information is relayed in such a way as to put me in a coma. Not so with Ms. Fox's primer. Well researched and detailed, the book is insightful as well as humorous and engaging. The mythic characters are vividly brought to life then explained how they relate to the astrological themes in a person's chart. Anyone who wants to learn more about the goddesses and/or applying them astrologically will appreciate the hard work the author has put into this book.

A quick read about the 5 widely known asteriods Chiron, Juno, Vesta, Ceres and Pallas Athena.
It combines the greek mythology stories with the astrological descriptions.
Liked the humor!

Good wee primer, just not as in-depth as Demetra George's Asteroid Goddesses that's all.

"Asteroid Archetypes: A Primer" by Marcha Fox was a complete surprise find for me. It is exactly what I always wanted to read: A book that connects my interest in Greek mythology with Astrology. I have always wondered why certain planets and comets had specific names and why they were associated with mythological creatures.
Fox did an outstanding job at explaining the "ancient stories" and relate to her readers how they can be seen in an astrological context.
Absolutely brilliant and presented just perfectly, this is a great sample of the crossovers and how to read and interpret astrological symbolism. A late reading highlight of 2014. Very well done.
