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.

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
