"For anyone interested in the way of astrology for the next 50 years or so this is the book. It draws on interviews with a wide range of astrologers from 'scientific' ones to those who see it as linked to magic. It discusses the varieties of astrological experience including business astrology, astrology and therapy, astrology and health. It brings out the variety of views on these matters. It is never dogmatic. I recommend it. John Heaton, Psychotherapist and author of 'Wittgenstein & Psychoanalysis', 'Introducing Wittgenstein'
I just finished reading your 'Astrology in the Year Zero' and would like to congratulate you on a really excellent and helpful book! Patrick Curry, author of 'Prophecy & Power', 'A Confusion of Prophets'
I think the book is very important. I spend a great deal of time reading translations of astrology texts from different periods of astrological thought, and one of the issues is always to try and understand what the astrological mind set was in that particular period. Therefore, for me 'Year Zero' does this for our time, our mind set. It shows us what pattern we are currently weaving in the great carpet of astrology and says this is who we are now, in this time. Bernadette Brady, co-principal of Astro Logos and author of 'Predictive Astrology (the Eagle & the Lark)', 'Brady's Book of Stars' and the 'Jigsaw' astrological program.
"A very fascinating book... offers a wealth of information that is not usually accessible, unless one is in the position of being able to talk to these experts [who are interviewed in the book] on a personal basis. A really excellent and significant contribution." Horoscope Magazine, March 2001
Noel
Tyl, Astrologer "As
far as I know, there is no other astrology book quite like this
one. It interview astrologers and also explores the results
of scientific research. It includes most of the skeptical
works in its bibliography. Nowhere else will you find both
sides of the story so conveniently in one place. It is a major
contribution to the field. Everyone interested in astrology,
whether for or against, should have a copy."
"Phillipson’s
book draws skilfully on interviews with a range of leading specialist
astrologers to create a snapshot of astrological practice at the
dawning of a new millennium. Unlike many books on the subject it
sets out to reveal what astrologers actually do rather than
confine itself to generality. Written in accessible style and even-handed
in its treatment of diverse opinion, this is an important and commendable
contribution to the field." Dr. Peter Case, Senior Research Fellow, Oxford Brookes University
"Phillipson's
innovative technique of interviewing professional astrologers reveals
the infinitely rich interconnections between astrology and other
fields of inquiry as diverse as medicine, music, law, politics,
mythology, literature, design. It is an essential source book for
a new approach to the tradition of astrology."
"Insights into the world of astrology for everyone. In interviews, professional astrologers reveal why they do it, how they began, why they think it works. All balanced by researchers, who explain their methods and detail their doubts. I loved it and couldn't put it down" Shelley von Strunckel (The Sunday Times' Astrologer)
