Book review
Planets in Solar Returns by Mary Fortier Shea – reviewed by Alison Subtitled “A Yearly Guide for Transformation and Growth” is a book on the astrological forecasting technique of Solar Returns. A solar return is a chart cast for each and every birthday and unfolds the year ahead for you. This is the best book I have come across on solar returns and it is a text book often suggested for students and it is on my recommended reading list for forecasting work.
