Saturn in Transit: Boundaries of Mind, Body, and Soul

Erin is simply an amazing astrologer. Her insightful words about Saturn are well worth reading.

For the Serious! LOL

If you need a new look at Saturn, and we Saturn people usually DO....this book is very helpful. The outer planets are far more important than most beginners tend to think, being considered the Generational Planets they are a bit overlooked...and wrongly so, these are the energies that bring life's lessons and Saturn is King of Lessons....the TaskMaster and Father Time all in one great Swing of Mind Blowing Kick Ur Butt Engery every few years. Anyone interested in Astrology should know about Saturn first and foremost in my opinion...and I enjoyed this book immensely...fine addition to my Library.

Brilliant Book!

A very good book. Easy to read, informative and explains Saturn's effects on one's life with positive and fluent detail. I would recommend it strongly for everyone who is interested in the archetypal or astrological effects on one's life.

the 7 year cycle finally explained

I usually don't write reviews, but I really likes this book. I've read it twice now and the information contained in "Saturn in Transit" explained so much of what I have experienced, mostly in 7 year cycles (when Saturn adversly affected a 4 planet stellium I have). I've studied astrology off and on for a few years and knew there had to be a reason for the drastic changes, but until I read this book, I didn't connect what or how to deal with it..So now I am prepared for 2006! LOL. The book shed light not only on my craziness, but on the actions and feelings of lots of my friends too!

Deep and profound insights into Saturn transits

Every so often one comes across a quality astrological book that really stands out from the crowd and stands the test of repeated reading over time. "Saturn in Transit" is one such book. I have continued to read and re-read this over the last few years. In the best possible sense, it is a Saturnian treatment of the transits of Saturn. There is also a great deal of other high quality non-Saturn astrology here. In addition to her obvious extensive experience as a practising astrologer, Erin Sullivan draws extensively on depth psychology and classical mythology to portray Saturn's developmental influence on our lives. The fourth section of the book, "The Personal Heroic Journey" stands out for me. Here the journey of Saturn around the birth chart is illuminated profoundly and accessibly. Sullivan begins the cycle at the midheaven and tenth house stage, "The Call To Adventure" as she terms it, in contrast to the more conventional viewpoint that places the ascendant and first house at the beginning of the cycle. From there on she comments on Saturn's movement round the chart and the various inner and outer lessons it has to teach us. Countless practical examples are referred to throughout, with two contrasting case histories at the end showing how different but essentially similar each individual's "heroic quest for meaning" can be. As befits a book on Saturn it does all get a bit heavy going at times but is well worth the effort!
