Available in three formats. Should be on-line and ready for order, now.

I started writing this text when Saturn was in Aquarius¹, close to 30 years back. It was a loose set of text files that would be assembled by an astrology report-writing software, with my nebulous plan of selling hundreds or thousands of reports.

Over time, while I did hone the material itself, the process of “making” the reports proved more arduous for single-person shop², like mine, and I eventually got out of the business with an update³, about a year back.

So far, I’ve got two or three people who miss the reports, but the loss of revenue versus the price of new software, and then, my reports were always “time-intensive” because I had to input the material myself, so, yes, no, it wasn’t worth it. Miss you guys, but then, there are automated software delivery services that perform a similar function, and I can’t compete with automation.

What I bring to the table? Experience, and a slightly jaundiced eye, an ability to pick up the patterns that a machine can’t discern.

The book is a final rough draft, and why the text is like this? Despite years of paging through the text files themselves, adding, subtracting, balancing, and making sure the content is thoroughly mine, I still worry about punctuation, structure, and readability. So let’s call this a a final rough draft.

I think the best price point is the almost ubiquitous Apple Book version at 99 cents. Makes this a portable reference for all.

The idea of launching at the same time as the “Great Conjunction” — at a time when Jupiter and Saturn are aligned, and close to the Winter Solstice and the start of Capricorn? With the ongoing crisis at hand? On and under the Sagittarius/Gemini eclipse pattern? The choice is the “best of the worst days,” kind of a hopeful, last shot, looking at the way the last year has gone.

Ain’t been great for a large number of people.

So picking a good time, as Saturn eases on into Aquarius, again, this is about some work that represents years of travel, looking at people, examining astrology charts, and making prognostications. Notes, feelings, observations, and looking for the good.

Hint: it’s not always good.

I hope, eventually, there will be another version of the text, with a better introduction. Perhaps a guide on how to use the text, understand that a Pluto Transit — hello Capricorn — is different in duration and the waxing and waning effects of the planets, how a Pluto transit might be different than a quick hit from Mars. Or how to line up and use Venus, Mercury and why that might be a different interpretation from other planets.

Much of the background I tend to teach in BareFoot Astrology⁴, and that has the planets, associations, the kinship between planets and signs — and some classical definitions — all the players, delineated.

As noted elsewhere, when I first started, I found myself working with a lot of Saturn influences, and that gave me a crash course, near thirty years back, gave me an accelerated way to look at that particular master. In the time in between? I have sharpened that material, testing, rewriting, as I grow to understand more about a particular influence.

In my own mind, the 99-cent version is worth it, just for the material about Saturn Return⁵, albeit updated some.

Book version is priced as comparable to a text I used early, and continue to reference, to this day. There’s a price sticker, on the back of that one text, $5.00, and the date was 1991, from a bookstore called “The Constellation.” Hard to make out, but I guess, adjusted for inflation? My book is priced about the same, and certainly is larger, should be easier to read.

Mine is by no means a definitive text, but I aim for that space between “Too technical,” or “Too Long Didn’t Read,” and “too short, not applicable.”

As always, my email is open for commentary.
