An easy 5/5, and one that I'll continue to revisit every time I'm working with tarot correspondences. This is much better than 95% of astrology books on the market, which only provide pithy interpretations. By drawing on myth, Arielle Guttman and Kenneth Johnson instead seek to tap into the spirit of each planet/sign and trace it through history.

This is an amazing book for anyone who's interested in the archetypal undertones of the zodiac. There is so much wealth to mine here; I think it's more suited to be a reference book rather than a book you read from cover to cover. While it's engaging enough to read from start to finish, it's just impossible to pick up everything in a single read.

A very good friend of mine and astrologer─Cristián Rupaillán (Rupi)─lent me this book. It has everything I like: mythology, astrology, astronomy, history. Reading it has been a wonderful experience for I have learnt so much from it. It has also helped me to understand the way people and myself behave.
