Planetary
aspects—the dynamic relationships and energy exchanges between
planets—can influence birth charts in profound ways. Picking up where
sun sign astrology leaves off, aspects open up new dimensions in
understanding how the stars affect us.
This innovative guide challenges the conventional notion that certain
planetary relationships (squares, oppositions, and conjunctions) are
"bad," while harmonious ones (sextiles and trines) are "good." Using
plain language, Robin Antepara explores both types and explains how
each is important. Her down-to-earth, lively approach includes many
case histories of famous people, ranging from historical figures to
celebrities. Readers will learn how Princess Diana alchemized a square
between Venus and Uranus and about Martha Stewart's problematic trine
between the Sun and Mars.
