Fixed Stars: brilliant

Loved this book, as it provided a way of working with the fixed stars as if they were planets in astrology. Or, not planets, but elements of a tremendously complicated story. Well explained astrological concepts underlined with easy-to-follow mathematics and storytelling tools. I really grooved on this book.

The fixed stars are often a small part of a person's chart, but occasionally, in the case of exception people particularly, they are incredibly indicative of the person.

Este no es un libro para principiantes. Los métodos de calculo de los "parans" y ubicación de las estrellas fijas están muy bien descritos y las definiciones de aspectos son bastante útiles para quienes quieren conocer más sobre la promesa natal de otras estrellas en su carta.

Great book that goes over most fixed stars in depth. Uses frequent examples. One should note this is a different method than other astrologers use, like Diana Roseburg who uses fixed stars location as projected onto the ecliptic
