The Psychology of Astro*carto*graphy

Everyone who's traveled from one place to another has probably noticed how one city might have a different "feel" to it than another, and if fairly alert, it might even seem clear that clusters of experiences tend to occur in the same place. This book will tell you why. Well-written with the clarity one might expect from Jim Lewis and Kenneth Irving, novice and experienced astrologers alike will delight in finding this important addition for their astrological toolbox. The techniques outlined here will explain issues that a regular chart might not, and flesh out those issues that were only partially shown in the natal, transit, or progression chart.Tracking my own travels across the country, the map (one can purchase these from professional astrologers, or use the ones available in many software packages these days) brilliantly outlined the details of my life--marriage where Venus was prominent (an elopement, no less--Uranus was also a factor here), the death of friends near Pluto influences, a cluster of burglaries and muggings where Mars held forth (with a little help from Pluto). More interested in why some countries fight wars in certain parts of the world--sometimes over and over? Lewis and Irving delve into history, and show how the charts of countries and their leaders can predict trouble-spots using these same techniques. Buy this book. It will enrich your astrological understanding of your own life, and the lives of others. It's a real gem.
