Comment: Reading the preface, we learn this book was written in response to the belief that "end times" were/are upon us as we enter the 21st century. The book is to reassure us that life will continue, that the world will not end in 2012 - a date mentioned by Howell in this book, and by others elsewhere. According to Howell, 2012 could be the start of the Age of Aquarius. In the Note to the Reader, the author writes, This book consists of two sections. The first is an informal explanation of the twelve astrological signs, the impeccable logic that underlies them, and their value to a therapist as a diagnostic tool as well as a guide to self-acceptance & fulfillment.... The second section concerns the majestic unfolding of the evolution of the collective unconscious. The tables between the two sections are for a handy reference to anyone unfamiliar with the basics of astrology. So we skip directly to the good stuff, the second section. I found the book typical of many of its sort. If you have read expositions of the astrological ages before, you will find this book similar. I myself have done extensive work in this area and rather than debate the finer points, I will say only that Howell views all her Ages through a solidly Piscean perspective. I would be more apt to set aside time to write the definitive treatise on the Astrological Ages (all 12 of them) if I sensed any demand for it. Quest Books, 281 pages.

	THE ZODIAC WITHIN EACH SIGN - Frances Sakoian & Louis Acker, $10.00 "It should be clear that there is much more to astrological interpretation than the mere sign positions of planets or house cusps. ONLY by considering such fine points as the decanate and duad placements of the planets and house cusps, as well as their proximity to fixed stars, and the interpretation of their degree placements, can astrologers achieve the high standard of detailed accuracy and the overall synthesis of interpretation that is the hallmark of a high-quality professional." 142 pages. No publisher listed, paper.

	ASTROLOGY, ALCHEMY & THE TAROT - John Sandbach, $5.95 From the back cover: "Like a dreamweaver, Sandbach takes the reader along a soft, jewelled journey through the celestial archives of universal understanding. Using the ancient symbolism of the tarot as a point of focus, and its correlation to the signs and planets of astrology, the author skillfully shows how each carries within in an ultimate seed for personal transformation." 87 pages. Seek-It, paper.

	YOU'RE NOT A PERSON, JUST A BIRTH CHART (cartoons) - Paul Newman, $11.00 Many of these originally appeared in The Mountain Astrologer. Wessex Astrologer, paper.

	NEPTUNE & A CENTURY OF AMERICAN MUSIC - Diane A. & Rudy Flack, $4.00 Contents: Overture; The evolution of American music with the passage of the planet Neptune; United States chart; Neptune through the signs; The 20th Century: Neptune in Gemini; Neptune in Cancer, Neptune in Leo; Neptune in Virgo; Neptune in Libra; Neptune in Scorpio; Neptune in Sagittarius; Neptune in Capricorn; Neptune in Aquarius; Reprise; Appendix. Comment: The American chart used is the one for 2:13:32 am LMT, Philadelphia, July 4, 1776, with 7 degrees, 12 minutes Gemini rising. As has been determined, at that hour on that day all those assembled in Philadelphia were, in fact, sound asleep (or should have been), but the early morning chart has long been a favorite with astrologers. The Flacks have divided American pop musical history into Neptune-ish segments, they do a good job of illuminating Neptune's musical influence over the decades.
