Liz and Howard gave a talk about the relationship between personality and astrology. In my opinion, this book talks about psychology more than astrology. In fact, in the old time before the subject of psychology appeared, Astrology was the main subject to under human psyche. In this book, Liz and Howard showed us how our birth charts reveal the development of the personality, since we were in the womb, during the birth and during growing up.
Chapter 2 talks about the father & mother, as everyone already has an father image and mother image when he was born, as revealed in the chart. Very often, the unfinished tasks of our parents will be brought forwards to us. And what is not lived out by ourselves will be carried forwards to our children.
Chapter 3 talks about different phychological dilemmas. This chapter is very wonderful for the people who often face with dilemmas, with other people or within himself.
Chapter 4 talks about Puer & Senex, (the Eternal Youth vs Old Man). Puer represent new ideas and changes. Senex represents old form, structure and rules. Puer and Senex are pair. One cannot exists with the others. And they live within every people. I am a Sagittarian. Every description about the Puer match myself exactly! This chapter is very wonderful for the people with a lot of Fire/Earth conflict, like me.
This is the first of the four books in the Seminars In Psychological Astrology series. Any serious astrologers should read this book carefully. Beginners might read Liz's "Astrology for Lovers" first.
