Some astrologers criticize Sun Sign astrology. That is like PhDs complaining about grammar school. In this merry little book, celebrity author Neil D. Paris guides us through some powerful foundational techniques. Even total neophytes can quickly test them against their own experience. Not only might they be intrigued enough to delve more deeply into astrology's wider world - they will immediately see their present possibilities illuminated. Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky, Yesterday's Sky and others. On the 'Moonkissd' Facebook page, I posted a tidbit about where you can juice up, find your energy and vitality (hint: look to your Sun's house in your birth chart) when Neil D. Paris came onto my radar. Neil was the principle astrologer at the Linda Goodman Institute (love her!), and judging from his new book 'Surfing Your Solar Cycles: A Lifetime Guide To Your Stars' (Wessex Astrologer 2012) Neil shares her fun, accessible and informative style. In a nutshell: when the Sun moves into a new house in your birth chart, you are given new lessons. Neil does a fine job of outlining your month-long themes, offering an action plan and warnings about the flip side of each cycle. Following your solar cycles probably the easiest way to begin to use predictive astrology in your life. So far I've only known of one book that teaches this so I am so pleased to have another resource. On a personal note: I found it hilarious that the days surrounding the beginning of my Twelfth House solar cycle, Neil suggested I'd have cosmic connections with actors and filmmakers, when lo and behold, a new client, actor-filmmaker, arrives in my life!
