This edition finally does the material justice. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.
Needed this for my research. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
My book club chose this last month. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. One of my better finds this year.
Appleby’s definitive manual offers a robust framework for moving beyond theoretical knowledge into practical divination. It successfully resurrects a dormant practice, providing clear methods for extracting precise insights from natal charts. However, it does not suit casual readers seeking light entertainment or those uninterested in rigorous astrological mechanics. The text demands focus and a willingness to engage with complex planetary configurations. While it bridges the gap between theory and practice effectively, novices without foundational astrological knowledge may find the transition to interpreting specific questions steep. It is a serious tool for serious practitioners of the esoteric arts.
