Planetas e Possibilidades

Rate this book
Ela se tornou um fenômeno entre os astrólogos: foi uma das primeiras a levar a astrologia para a internet, lançando seu site antes mesmo de o Google existir. É íntima das redes sociais, com milhares de seguidores no Twitter – a maioria deles brasileira. Susan Miller é astróloga mais pop do planeta. Ela criou uma cumplicidade impressionante com seu público fiel. Nascida e criada em Nova York, Susan foi apresentada à astrologia ainda pequena através de sua mãe, mas foi uma rara doença na perna esquerda que a aproximou dos astros. Por causa das inúmeras cirurgias e da dor, passou muito tempo da adolescência dedicando-se a saber mais sobre o poder das previsões através do Zodíaco.Planetas e possibilidades é o fruto deste aprofundamento e ajuda a contextualizar a influência das estrelas e corpos celestes no dia a dia, expondo detalhadamente as características positivas e negativas de cada signo para que decisões mais assertivas possam ser tomadas. É o trabalho mais prolífico da astróloga mais famosa e consultada na internet.

Вам не обязательно верить в астрологию, но для понимания многих ключевых моментов художественных книг неплохо знать символику Знаков Зодиака.

Ни для кого не секрет, что, например, Томас Пинчон любит ввернуть что-нибудь астрологическое в свои романы. В той же «Радуге тяготения» неоднократно упоминаются Рыбы (21 раз), Девы (3 раза), Скорпионы и Стрельцы (по 1 разу) и, если вы не в теме, один из смыслов романа от вас просто ускользнёт. А у Милорада Павича в «Хазарском словаре» каждая часть книги соответствует определённому Знаку Зодиака.

Одна из очень адекватных астрологов, книги и статьи которой я могу посоветовать — Сьюзан Миллер. Она из семьи книгоиздателей к тому же, поэтому чудесно, легко пишет, читать её интересно. Сложные понятия объясняет простым языком.

Кроме описания чисто астрологических вещей, каждая глава книги Сьюзан начинается с научных фактов о планетах и о созвездиях, а заканчивается мифами, из которых родились названия Знаков Зодиака. После прочтения мне захотелось освежить в памяти мифы Древней Греции, особенно запомнились истории о Гермесе, вестнике Богов, и о Тесее и Минотавре. Было интересно узнать, что символом созвездия Рака не всегда был Рак/Краб: в разные эпохи его символизировали Медведь, Черепаха и даже Скарабей — в Древнем Египте.

Если вы любите историю, мифы, астрономию и астрологию, читайте, получите большое удовольствие! Книга обширная и информативная, настоящая энциклопедия, поэтому если у вас есть ко мне какие-то вопросы, пишите в комментариях, с радостью вам отвечу!

Demorei mas acabei. É um livro bem completo pra quem quer estudar ou conhecer mais sobre o Sol em cada signo do zodíaco. A Susan é bem didática e analisa os signos solares nas esferas da mitologia e da astrologia. Os planetas também (na parte da ciências, mitologia e da astrologia). Muito legal!

Good basics. Minus points because she talks about cusps (they aren’t real!). I liked the myths about each sign and planet.

Author Susan Miller does an excellent job of demystifying this often-misunderstood subject, and she provides a wealth of insights and practical advice for anyone interested in exploring the world of astrology.

One of the standout features of this book is the way it goes beyond the basic sun sign astrology that is so common in popular culture.

She also provides a wealth of practical advice on using astrology to understand ourselves and our relationships with others.

Overall, "Planets and Possibilities" is a must-read for anyone interested in astrology. Miller's writing is clear and engaging, and her wealth of knowledge and experience shines through on every page. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced astrologer, this book will surely provide valuable insights and inspiration.

I really liked this book. I'm using this book and another to help me develop realistic personalities in fictional characters. I personally think my own sign fits me so well by this description, and the myths she adds attached to each sign are a nice touch.

Susan is an engaging and charming person who is very knowledgeable about astrology. All of this is very clear in her book and her website. I learned a lot from the way she interprets the charts.
