My book club chose this last month. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Good, with the caveats above.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Would buy from this store again.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Happy enough with the purchase.
My book club chose this last month. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. A keeper.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Glad I finally picked this up.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. You can tell why this work has endured. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Shipping was quick too.
Demetra George delivers a rigorous, no-nonsense guide that demands active participation from its reader. While it excels at teaching the fundamental grammar of astrology through practical application, it is not suited for those seeking gentle encouragement or simplified, pop-astrology insights. The dense, academic approach may overwhelm beginners looking for immediate emotional validation or quick fixes. It requires a disciplined mind eager to engage with complex technical details and self-analysis. Readers preferring passive consumption of pre-packaged interpretations will likely find the workload burdensome and the tone too dry. However, for those committed to mastering their craft through hard work, it remains an invaluable, transformative tool.
