Get An In-Depth Understanding of Uranus
For some strange reason, I have always had a deep fascination with Uranus. I've even gone as far as to speculate whether Uranus emits an overwhelming odor and if that is why we haven't yet landed anyone on or near Uranus to explore it more thoroughly. Some of my friends think I go a little overboard with it and that I'm obsessed with Uranus. They've even yelled at me during softball games to "get ...

A crack up
We all know kids like to joke about butts and use doubl3 meanings to say things they usually can't get away with. That is the whole premise of this book, which is a sequel to "The Day My Butt Went Psycho!". Zack and his butt-fighting team protect the earth from rogue butts. A new foul enemy attacks, the Zombie Butts, and their goal is to take over the planet. My son in 4th grade got a big kick ...

Great accessible psychological guide to major transits
The late Howard Sasportas packed a huge amount of high quality astrological and psychological information into this intelligent, clear and accessible book. It has been one of my constant companions over the last 10 years or so, both in my work as a professional astrologer and in following my own transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The first section, "The Collaboration with the Inevitable", is ...

Ingenius Insights into Uranus
As a professional astrologer, I find Bil's book on Uranus extremely helpful when I want to tune in to the essence of this planet's unpredictable energy. Not only does he give the deeper, psychological manifestations of its transits to planets and houses in the natal chart, he gives real life examples that stimulate my creative interpretations. I find myself laughing with recognition, as he ...

A Woman's Best Friend
This journal is a genius idea. No one has thought of giving women a specific place to write down their feelings before. I don't have to feel judged because they are my own words. And hell, I'm not paying someone else to judge them either. Having a record of what I am going through is so helpful hopefully I will be able to learn and avoid repeating certain behaviors. I am giving this to lots of my ...

Uh...
Um... I don't mean to nitpick, but I've been waiting for a new Nick Pollotta book for a while now, being a huge fan of Beureu 13. So why are you just renaming Tequila Mockingbird?
