A Watershed Work

This book on the seldom addressed quindecile aspect clearly explains the psychological implications inherent in quindeciles. Many chart examples of well-known figures are used, making this book accessible to astrologers of all levels of experience. Knowing about quindeciles illuminates often overlooked dimensions of the birthchart. Highly recommended!

At last!

Ms. Reeves has done us all a service with her book on Quindeciles. Noel Tyl read my chart for me in 1997, & mentioned2 of them in my chart, & the info he gave me concerning them wasdeeply personal & ultimately helpful in a "put the past to rest" kind of way. They're kind of an itch-you-cannot-scratch, but you can use them if you understand them better, and so I recommend this book to one and all!

The Quindecile Aspect is Astounding!

The Quindecile aspect is remarkable for its psychological impact and Ricki Reeves explores it in all its manifestations. She analyzes and describes the significance of the quindecile through its makeup of planets, signs, houses and elements. Her book is instructive, innovative and clearly presented. Noel Tyl rediscovered this aspect and its obsessive compulsive expression and through his experience came to understand the quindecile's effect upon health (see Tyl's "The Astrological Timing of Critical Illness"). Ms. Reeves elaborates on this theme by discussing how an unfulfilled need creates compulsive behavior. Thus identified, the energy can be redirected. She has provided a number of examples of individuals who utilized a quindecile as a driving force in their success. The compulsion also exhibits in synastry aspects as Ms. Reeves shows in discussing a number of fated love affairs. Perhaps most significantly is the analysis alerting the astrologer to the warning signs of excessive or addictive behavior as seen through the quindecile aspect. I found this a very useful book which introduces new ideas into the areas of health, psychology and counseling.
