For me, because of my kundalini awakening and because of everything that it brought me and that is still teaching me as it is a life-long process, this book is beyond beautiful. I do have all the major planets placed from 6th to 12th house, but my Moon, Jupiter and Uranus are all in Scorpio/5th house, and the combination is mindblowing especially because my Jupiter is retrograde. I have just started my ''true'' journey as I am only 37 years old.

Astrology is one of the most beautiful things I have discovered during the last 16 months and I am starving to learn more. It is incredible, and I feel humbled to my core because of its wise knowledge and accuracy.

Note: I was gifted this book by a Craniosacral therapist who I saw for one session. I am about half way through it and I'm going to set it aside for a second time. The only reason I had attempted to read it again is because Molly McCord spoke so highly of this famous author. The resonance isn't there for me.

Second Note: It's March 31, 2026 and I tried again because I REALLY wanted this book to be beneficial and I have so many issues with it. There is a lot of fear-mongering, lack of understanding about abusive dynamics and trauma, etc. I think I'm just going to throw it out! Eek! Hahahahahahaha. I had added too many personal notes inside of it. I wonder what the people in this coffee shop would do? Who throws out a book? Certainly not me. I've decided to chuck it in the trash bin at the house. Welcome to me at midlife.

Meh. Super woo woo hetero-normative wish wash. Valuable for the tables of transits in the back. I don't appreciate how she answers her clients' problems for them and imposes her own value sets onto them and pathologizes them for not feeling the same way. Astrologers should provide solution sets, not one value laden solution for a complication of issues.

This is truly one book that everyone approaching the mid life point MUST read...I recommend it to all my clients. Barabara's wisdom and insight into the astrological passage we have come to know as the mid life crisis is priceless...

As I always say, when you work with the energy , the energy cannot work you...

Buenos conceptos no sólo del sexo, sino de la evolución de cada persona sobre todo al rededor de los 40 años. Además una opinión positiva del 2012.

This is a great book that when read each time, new insights are revealed.
