This book is the very essence of Jupiter. From its apt title, to
its generous use of many famous chart examples, to Arroyo's
trademark insight and wisdom on every page, "Exploring Jupiter" is
positively a winner The presentation of the astrology is clear,
practical and intelligent, making it a must for both newer students
and more experienced practising astrologers. Unlike the majority of
modern astrologers, Arroyo refers to Jupiter's ancient rulership of
Pisces as being significant, and the book is written with this in
mind. Otherwise much of the book is built on the usual "cookbook"
approach: Jupiter through the signs, Jupiter through the houses
(arranged by element), Jupiter aspects in the birth chart and so
on. As always with Stephen Arroyo, it is the clarity and profound
depth of these guidelines for interpretation that is so striking.
The chapter on transits involving Jupiter is particularly good,
building on ideas he has expressed in earlier writings.
A practical guide on how to work out your Chinese horoscope. Though
perhaps less well-known here than its Western counterpart, Chinese
astrology is every bit as illuminating and provides an equally
valuable shortcut to self-knowledge. Jonathan Dee, the
well-respected author of several books on astrology, tarot, and
fortune-telling, reveals all the mysteries of the art in this
informative volume. Filled with legends, charts, and history, it
contains all of the essentials for working out your Chinese
horoscope including the animal signs for each birthday year, month,
and hour. Each sign receives a richly detailed and enlightening
explanation. Learn the personality traits associated with the 12
animals: - The rat is considered to be the sign of charm and is
noted for its shrewdness, enterprise, and wealth. Rats are also
prosperous, entrepreneurial, obsessive, anxious, bossy, and mean. -
The ox is the sign of tenacity and prosperity and a symbol of
fertility and muscular strength. People born under the ox are
patient, contemplative, eloquent, chauvinistic, petty, and grumpy.
- The monkey is lively, complex, charming, diplomatic, and agile.
Monkeys are also dishonest, sarcastic, lacking respect, and
restless. Chinese Astrology, Orion Plain and Simple is an
accessible introduction that enlightens, entertains, and informs.
