Synopsis

Steven Forrest, author of the award-winning and critically acclaimed book on basic astrology, The Inner Sky, sequels that outstanding work with this dynamic text on predictive astrology. Here you will find a brief review of the astrological basics (planets, houses, signs and aspects) and then the heart of the book: Transits - the current positions of the planets in the sky compared to one's birth chart. Outer planets are discussed in terms of their "Teacher" or "Trickster" potentials. Also addressed is the cycle of the houses and the tasks represented by each. Progressions - a day symbolically equated to a year in one's life. Thorough explanations of progressed Moon through the houses and signs, and changing angles (Midheaven and Ascendant) are presented. And the Art of Synthesis - how to put it all together. This practical guide to predictive astrology shows the reader how to make better life choices, with a focus on personal freedom and responsibility.

About this title

Review

"Steven Forrest . . . One of the most gifted writers on astrology to emerge in the last quarter of a century . . . You will be delighted with The Changing Sky." -Richard Nolle, Dell Horoscope "For a book on intermediate astrology, this one is the best. It covers a lot of material in an easy-to-understand way. It also makes an excellent reference book. Among Forrest's many strengths, he is a master of 'synthesis', the art of putting together various astrological pieces to create a coherent story about what is going on. His approach, which focuses on the questions life is asking you versus what you are going to passively experience, is brilliant, and successfully bridges between an individual's inner and outer worlds. I have been teaching astrology for many years, and this is the book I use to introduce my students to timing and forecasting. I wish more astrology books were of this high quality." -Jeffrey Baugher, Amazon.com "Steve . . . manages to disarm the skeptic, as well as debunk the charlatanism that surrounds popular astrology, with language that is as intelligent and cogent as it is poetic." -Sting

About the Author

Steven Forrest is the author of several astrological bestsellers, including THE INNER SKY, THE CHANGING SKY, THE BOOK OF THE MOON, THE NIGHT SPEAKS, and the new astrology classic YESTERDAY'S SKY. Steven's work has been translated into a dozen languages, most recently Chinese and Italian. He travels worldwide to speak and teach his brand of choice-centered "evolutionary" astrology, which integrates free will, grounded humanistic psychology and ancient metaphysics. Along with his busy private practice, he maintains active astrological apprenticeship programs in California, Australia, North Carolina, and Switzerland. He is a founding member of the Ethics Committee of the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR). The musician Sting calls Steven's work "as intelligent and cogent as it is poetic." DELL HOROSCOPE describes him as "not only a premier astrologer, but also a wise man." Callie Khouri, who wrote the screenplay for the mega-hit film Thelma and Louise, praises his "humor, insight, poetry, and astute, articulate observations of human nature." O: THE OPRAH MAGAZINE describes his philosophy this way: "Forrest's approach...stops the blame game in its tracks...we're warriors fulfilling our turbulent evolutionary paths." Actor Robert Downey Jr. says, "I marvel at the accuracy of Steve's readings. He insists that nothing is so grave as to be beyond repair, and correspondingly that there is no rainbow that won't be evaporated by poor judgment in the now. I can't recommend him highly enough." And Rob Brezsny, in his popular "Real Astrology" column, simply calls him "the most brilliant astrologer alive."
