Praise for this book

“The Zodiac by Degrees gave me serious goose bumps on several occasions. Inside of half an hour, the text had cleared up my ambivalence about the exact degree of my Ascendant and given me a new understanding of my Sun degree-one vastly more evocative than the traditional Sabian interpretation. Martin Goldsmith is a poet in the old sense of the word: he's on fi re with imagery and the fi re is contagious”

Martin Goldsmith’s extensively revised edition serves as a meticulous reference for the nuanced energies of each zodiac degree, offering profound symbolic insights for the serious practitioner. However, it is strictly not suited for beginners or those seeking quick, simplified horoscopes; the depth required to appreciate these intricate layers demands prior astrological knowledge and patience. Readers looking for broad, general advice will find this overly technical and dense. It is a specialized tool for those willing to engage with complex symbolic interpretations rather than casual entertainment. While valuable for its detailed exploration of cosmic influence on human experience, it lacks accessibility for the uninitiated, requiring a committed approach to its rigorous structural framework.
