An outstanding addition to the limited list of books on Solar Returns. The author bases his work on the technique of 17th century astrologer Morin (whose work he has also translated in other books), giving a solid historical background in the process. Filled with examples and case histories, this is an in-depth and rigorous read.
This is a much needed textbook on fixed stars and their relationship to the natal planets. It offers rare material on the detailed interpretations of an individual’s natal heliacal rising and setting stars; these stars yield insight into the nature of one’s soul and spiritual path. Additionally, the author gives a comprehensive listing of the meaning of every star when combined with all the planets and nodal axis, for natal as well as predictive use.
Panchanga is an ancient vedic technique, which although used widely in muhurta is not common in natal chart interpretation. With clear explanation and case histories Komilla Sutton shows how essential it is in understanding the strength of the different sources of ‘light’ in the natal chart, and thus one’s ability to cope with the daily challenges of life.
