Fun Fact
Vivian E. Robson's 'Astrology and Sex' stands as an essential, unparalleled cornerstone in the study of relationship astrology. Its meticulous, comprehensive approach, delving far beyond basic compatibility, offers profound insights grounded in historical astrological scholarship. While its depth might overwhelm those seeking quick answers, serious students will find it an indispensable resource for mastering synastry. This isn't a casual read, but a rigorous textbook for anyone committed to understanding the intricate cosmic dance of human connection.

📝 Description: Astrology and Sex

Synastry is the branch of astrology that tells us how we relate to other people. How Joe relates to Mary & what Mary may think of that. In this complete, classic guide to astrology & relationships, Robson goes far beyond the usual "his planets vs: her planets." He studies the overall weight of the two charts, the fertility of the inner planets, the condition of the 7th house. He compares her-planets-to- his-planets as well as his-houses-to-her-houses. Robson considers how strongly the individual wants relationships - and how many, whether he/she will marry early or late - or not at all, the likelihood of children, the possibility of divorce. He gives rules for wedding dates. In an extraordinary appendix, he lists some 266 classified rules & aphorisms, culled from many ancient sources. This is perhaps the finest book ever written on astrology & relationships. About the author: Vivian Erwood Robson lived from 1890 to 1942. By trade he was a librarian. Like many librarians he had a natural bent for research, and, in his particular case, astrology. He studied ancient astrologers closely, including Ptolemy & William Lilly. His books on electional astrology, fixed stars, and relationships, are 20th century classics.
