Equinox Greetings to you! It’s been a really busy few months at Wessex and we continue to have a steady stream of books coming through the portal. One of which is of course The Pocket Ephemeris for Astrologers 2027, which we created in collaboration with our friends at Astrocal. We’re pretty pleased with the result and judging by reviews like “I’m reading it like a novel” and ‘Best thing since sliced bread” and “Perfect!!”, so are the people who have bought it already. Do pop over to our shop to check out the full range of books, but for now here are some of the new ones, ready to lighten those darkening evenings. (Speaking from the SAD perspective here lol). Oh – and also remember that these books are/will be available from your usual bookseller, or if you’re in the US, our friends at the AFA through www.astrologers.com. Enjoy!
The God Between: A Guide to Astrological Mercury
Freda Edis
Back in print due to popular demand and available from your usual bookseller! We say you can’t keep a good book down—especially when it’s on Hermes, the Roman Mercury who started as a crafty boy-god and violator of women, but then developed into a miracle-worker and spiritual guide. Every aspect of his complex personality offers rich insights. Mercury is often treated as a light-weight planet which over-emphasises the intellect and ignores the emotional side of life – this book shows that it can be far more. People who feel stuck, endlessly repeating the same unsatisfactory patterns of behaviour, might find inspiration in the story of Hermes, the Roman Mercury, and his descent into the underworld. The book argues that his love affair with Venus, and the birth of their hermaphrodite child, has much to teach us about reconciling the male and female within ourselves. This reprint of the original version explores Mercury’s role as Eternal Child, Rapist, Trickster, Traveller, Healer and Alchemist; his aspects to the other planets, and how he operates in the different houses and signs.

Bending the Light: Saturn’s Lessons in Time
Alex Trenoweth
Adolescence is one of life’s most challenging—and most transformative—journeys. It is a time when young people begin to question who they are, where they belong, and the choices that will shape their future. In astrology, these formative years are marked by Saturn, the planet of responsibility, resilience, and self-discovery. In Bending the Light, internationally acclaimed astrologer and educator Alex Trenoweth introduces the concept of the Shadowlands—the passage through adolescence where identity is tested and character is forged. Blending astrology with decades of classroom experience, she explores how an understanding of Saturn can help parents, teachers, and astrologers support young people through this crucial stage of development. Through inspiring and cautionary case studies of Saturn in every sign, Alex demonstrates that astrology does not determine destiny. Rather, it illuminates the choices available to us. By understanding Saturn’s lessons, we can learn to bend the light toward wisdom, resilience, and purpose, helping the next generation emerge from the Shadowlands stronger, wiser, and more fully themselves.

Amazon Rising: Awakening the Wild Feminine
Kristin Fontana
The book that is causing all kinds of ripples. The Amazons were legendary—an ancient lineage whose spirit lives on. In Amazon Rising, Evolutionary Astrology illuminates a current woven within the birth chart—one that speaks through instinct, pressure, and a relentless pull toward truth. At the heart is Amazone, an asteroid reflecting the warrior woman archetype, linking it to a living impulse within the psyche. Tracing its origins, distortions, and evolution, Kristin shows how Amazone manifests through the zodiac and in compelling case studies at different stages of evolution. There comes a moment when to say “Yes” is to awaken what has been waiting. This path is not comfortable. It asks that everything false falls away. Blending myth and history, it leads you into the centre of the flame. You will see yourself in these pages. You may resist what you find. But if something in you has always known—if you have felt the tension between who you were taught to be and who you truly are, you are already on the path. And there is no turning back.
