Reviews

[Tasha · Rating 3 out of 5]

First of all, I do feel like the book expanded my understanding of the ascendant, which has always been very abstract for me. And I really liked their interpretation of Chiron conjunct the ascendant! Absolutely the most helpful interpretation I've come across.

But this book isn't very well edited. I noticed multiple mistakes just in the parts I read that were relevant to myself. And what I was really excited about was the interpretation for the ascendant/sun combo. I get that 144 combinations is a lot, but I expected them to be more in-depth than half a page. What is that, like 150 words? That was kinda disappointing.
