About the author
David R Roell writes astrology essays collected in books such as The Triple Witching Hour: The Third Book of Astrological Essays, published by Astrology Classics in 2012. The book gathers material drawn from the weekly AstroAmerica newsletter, examining current events, including Occupy Wall Street, through an astrological lens. Skeet Shooting for Astrologers (2011), from the same imprint and newsletter, offers more of the same short-essay form: notes on house rulers and dispositors, practical tricks for chart interpretation, and other topics that recur in the newsletter's regular columns. Both books work as short-essay collections rather than systematic manuals, suited to readers already familiar with astrological terminology who want commentary and technique notes rather than an introduction. Roell's writing sits within the tradition of newsletter-based astrology criticism, addressing readers who follow financial and political events alongside chart work.
