I think you'll like the book; it is a very useful reference, and a fun read. Also, I fixed the typo - thank you :P And you should know best, as the motto "Plus Ultra" is a regional motto in Ghent. Talk to you soon, Nina Hi Herman,

Thanks for a very fine analysis! Btw, it should be neC plus ultra!

I've been recommending it to a lot of people since then, so I'm glad to see that there are other astrologers who felt the same way about the book.

Deb's book is definitely worth reading, even for experienced astrologers, because there is so much useful information packed in there. Good point about the intercepted houses. I really wish there was more information out there about calculations for astrologers...it is becoming more and more of a lost art. Best wishes, Nina Dear Linea,

I have had my copy of this book for some time and I WILL read it before Deborah Houlding, the author, arrives here in the Bay Area in mid-September. You make many thoughtful comments in your review, and I can hardly wait to read the book because of it. Since I teach the calculation part of astrology -- something of which most astrologers are not aware - I have actually pored over pictures of the various house systems till I understood them. It was from this that I learned, for instance, that intercepted houses are only a problem that results from putting a 3-dimensional system onto a 2-dimensional page. After that I stopped paying much attention to them. I have to wonder what Houlding says about them. Thanks for another thought-provoking review, Nina! Linea Hi Nina
