Book reviews:
Planets in Transit by Robert Hand.
This book is a masterpiece in astrological transit work. I don’t think anyone else has written another transit book which surpasses Hand’s “Planets in Transit.” This book covers all the major transits by house and the transit aspects between the planets (from the Sun to Pluto) with extensive interpretations for each one. All students of astrology will benefit from having this solid reference book on their book shelf.
Transpersonal Astrology: Explorations at the Frontier (Edited by Armand Diaz, Eric Meyers and Andrew Smith) is a compendium of innovative writings on the transpersonal within astrology by Jessica Murray, Dena De Castro, Bill Streett, Maurice Fernandez, Adam Gainsburg and many others.
