Revolutionary!

I have been tinkering around with astrology for about 10 years and have always come up against brick walls when it came to getting clear answers to my astrological questions, until I found The House Book. Stephanie's down-to-earth, linear thinking is exactly what the majority of "lay-astrologers" have needed for a very long time. My copy of The House Book has been read and re-read so many times that before long, I'll need a new copy.If you don't already own a copy of this book, please hit the "add to cart" button. You'll be very happy that you did.

A New Classic.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book for both amateur and professsional astrologers. It is very well written and the insights are bountiful. Before the influence of a planet is described in the houses, there is a preface containing an excellent (and sometimes poetic) description of the function and meaning of that particular planet. The action of Venus, for instance, is brought to life by the image of the handmaiden "arranging, soothing, tidying, perfecting, and making the environment comfortable and beautiful." Once into the houses, the descriptions are vivid and insightful, and the author will occasionally use a well-chosen archetype to illuminate the mentality of a certain position, e.g. Peter Pan for Neptune in the Third House. The spectrum of concerns is broad, from the practical to the spiritual, but the emphasis - thankfully - is on character traits rather than psychological complexes. Hence there is a surefootedness to the text which is lacking in other books on the same theme. Finally, there are two very useful sections at the end on Rectification and Basic Principles for Beginners. This book is a must for everyone interested in astrology. Congratulations to the author!

CLEAR AND PRECISE

This book has just recently been published and the author does a great job! Refreshingly and rather uniquely, Camilleri took over 1500 charts and evaluated similarities and peculiarities of each placing of the nine planets in all 12 houses of the zodiac. I was TRULY amazed at the phenomenal accuracy of detail which I discovered while looking up placements in charts of myself and loved ones; I've read hundreds of astrology books: this of one of the most simplex and one of the best!

The little book on houses you've always wanted.

What a sweet, sweet addition to our astrological libraries! Stephanie Camilleri has achieved a deceptively simple guide to the houses and an elegant dynamic picture of the flow of relationships with dispositors. It is the rare astrology book that you find yourself reading through from start to finish; both beginners and masters will find what they want here! Bravo, Stephanie!

This book is GREAT!

This is one of the best astrology books I've yet to read. I got an early copy of it and read it cover to cover. I'd never given houses the full respect that they deserve in my studies of astrology. Thank you, Stephanie Camilleri!
