Planetary Strength: A Commentary on Morinus
"The book is beautifully written. With Makransky, whether you agree or disagree is not the issue - you will always get a good read. It is clear. He has done his homework. He makes the genius of Morinus accessable to English speakers. He shows us how to 'think astrologically'." - Joseph Polansky,Diamond Fire Magazine"This is certainly an interesting addition to reading and interpreting the translations of Morinus' original work.  It is detailed and considered, and the author's knowledge and experience are evident throughout."  - Helen Stokes,AA Journal""What's  fascinating aboutPlanetary Strengthis that the author is using his own prose to describe the planets' conditions.  In the introduction, he advises readers to study Morinus, but clearly Makransky's efforts are the better source.  ... Try them in practice and compare these interpretations to what you might otherwise think about a planet.  It may just sharpen your ability to make accurate statements about character, a person's history, and even to make predictions.  And what more do you ask of astrology?"  - Chris Lorenz, Dell Horoscopemagazine"Presenting a mixture of discussion, detailed cookbook offerings and chart examples as well as keywords and tables, this fascinating book also addresses the fixed stars. ... This fascinating book assumes a fair knowledge of astrology as well as some experience in preparing charts." - Margaret Gray,ISAR"This is a book that every beginner as well as advanced student of astrology would do well to possess.  The author is extremely perceptive in his descriptions of the planets ... this book would be a helpful aid to the researcher, as it would point him in the right direction."  -  Wanda Sellar,Correlation
