5.0 out of 5 stars COMPLETE BOOK, BEST OF ITS KIND
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2012
Verified Purchase
Over the past 6 years, i have been fascinated with astroloy. I have bought an increible amount of books searching for clues to understanding my own birth chart.
Although I don't consider them all a waste of money (most of them anyway), they only gave me very little usable information that still left me puzzled and unclear as to what my natal stars where telling me. Then i found this book... No, this book is not going to give you half mingled understanding to what you are looking at in your chart, it is going to make it very clear and will go into an amazing depth of each house and star position. I found the answers to the deeper meanings of my chart and it has greatly helped me to validate what I intuitively knew about myself and where I was headed. Thank you Howard Sasportas for this amazing work, and may you know where ever you are in the other world, that your work continues to be a guiding light for many of us still in the bounds of this world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that puts everything together
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022
Verified Purchase
This is the best material I've read about astrological houses so far. One might know the basic meaning of houses, like: 2nd is money, 10th is career etc., but Sasportas really puts it together, explains WHY is it so, why one house is followed by another (what the particular house order is based on), etc. It really helps to see the bigger picture and understand the houses and astrology in general. After reading this book, I started to feel/understand the energy of each house, the essence of each house, what the house is actually about. I like that there are a lot of examples of real people placements, it helps to understand better how does each placement manifest in the house. Anyone who is interested in astrology, will find a lot of valuable information in this book.

Read it like a story book first. Then read it again and again till you finally see your own unique life story coming out from it. I truly appreciate this book. I have learned so much from this book. I am reading several books at one time, but I will read this book again because there is a lot of information to digest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good starter book
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024

This book is pretty helpful when it comes to describing the basics of astrology and the houses. I do wish that it would’ve gone a bit deeper on the esoteric meanings of the houses. But if you use this book in combination with other esoteric resources, you can get a decent understanding of the true meaning of western astrology and natal charts.

I read reviews and went back and forth on buying the book for a while. This writer has explained the houses in both ways I resonate with and in ways I never thought about before, and I love that. I love how much room all the houses get, it goes way beyond paragraphs and keywords. I am an astrologer myself but I always call myself a student since there is so much to learn, always. And I thought this would be a good book after all the research I did but it went beyond what I was expecting. I'm happy to have this in my astrology book library and recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A deep and broad vision
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2011
Verified Purchase
Over the years I've had my chart done a couple times. Now that I`ve read this book I see why I felt those charts were lacking. What you see is determined by how you see and your particular beliefs, assumptions and feelings.

The way this relates to Sasportas is that I felt in this book I received a fuller vision that had humor, balance, and that took various nuances in consideration as well as a deeper psychological feeling. He also helped me see better the value and lessons of the parts of my chart I was resisting and weren`t as easy for me to like or accept. These challenges are expanded into opportunities in his vision.

In addition to all this Sasportas is enjoyable to read. He`s an interesting writer whose passion gives his words momentum and life. It seemed so appropriate and timely that I happened on his work now. He`s a broad thinker of ideas and feeling and psychological nuance.

Que dire de plus ?
C'est extrêmement bien expliqué avec une approche basée comme souvent en astrologie sur les mythes grecs qui permettent une vision limpide des phénomènes psychologiques sous-jacent et facilitent aussi énormément la mémorisation des informations.
Il s'agit d'un ouvrage d'astrologie humaniste, donc absolument pas tourné vers la prédiction mais uniquement sur la connaissance de soi.

Although initially somewhat daunted by the depth of what's contained within, the more I work with this book - the deeper my knowledge is growing.
Ultimately it's overriding a lot of bigger textbooks I have simply because it gets straight to the point.
Essential.

Hace un par de años leí por primera ves esta obra de Howard Sasportas, desafortunadamente con el tiempo y con el uso tuve que actualizarlo a la versión Kindle. Magnifico! Ahora puedo consultarlo dondequiera que este sin que se vuelva a maltratar. Muy recomendado para todo estudiante de astrología interesado en aprender más sobre las doce casas en la carta natal.
