How to be a Great Astrologer: The Planetary Aspects Explained

This book is a highly specialized analysis of all 300 planetary aspects used in astrology. Planetary aspects — conjunctions, squares, oppositions, trines, and sextiles — are one of the most important and consistently accurate features of astrology, and are at the core of horoscope analysis. The aspects formed at the time of one's birth reveal the behavioral and psychological tendencies, as well as events and circumstances, of each individual soul.
FOR HINDU / VEDIC, AS WELL AS, WESTERN ASTROLOGERS
Planetary aspects are critical for those practicing either Hindu/Vedic astrology or the Western system. While certain aspect names, such as sextiles, squares, and trines, may be unfamiliar to some Hindu/Vedic astrologers, rest assured all the aspects in this text are contained in Parasara's classic text Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra. The unfamiliar names (squares, sextiles, etc.) correspond exactly to what Parasara called "the 75%, 50%, and 25% aspects."
THE MOON'S NODES
Also included is an elaborate section describing the Moon's Nodes in all of the signs and houses. The Moon's Nodes, which are often neglected in astrology texts, are the number one feature revealing a person's life purpose and destiny. This book is the product of deep, intense research. Written by James Braha, a renowned astrologer versed in both Western and Hindu/Vedic astrology, it is clear, accessible, and authoritative.
