Progressions (Astrology: A Language of Life, Vol. 1)
Blaschke is an excellent teaching writer. He knows exactly how to introduce his material in small, precisely measured increments, cite his authorities with clarity and brevity, and guide the reader through virtually frustration free assimilation and mastery of progression theory and application. After reading this book and working within the guidelines presented, many of us might begin to wonder why we had not learned these techniques sooner. The answer is that there probably weren't enough teachers or writers of this man's caliber available when we first began the study and practice of astrology.  --Joan Star, Geocosmic MagazineI was completely delighted with this book and his findings and I love his metaphysical and spiritual approach to the subject. Robert has covered all the elements that are needed in the understanding and use of progressions, making it easy for any student or seasoned astrologer to incorporate them into their work...I highly recommend this book. It should be in every astrologer's library. This book is a very pleasing and enlightening read!  --Lynda Hill, FAA Journal- AustraliaIn this interesting and useful book Robert Blaschke describes how he combines secondaries, tertiaries and minors - the three progression cycles of a day for a year, a day for a lunation and a lunation for a year - into a single approach for prediction and counseling purposes...I can recommend this book. The ideas and the writing are fresh and stimulating. There is much in it that can aid the astrologer in his or her practice.  --Ken Gillman, Considerations JournalThere are not many books on the market on progressions. This is the only one that I know of that discusses progressions from a philosophical and metaphysical perspective. This is a highly original work, one that doesn't rehash what is found elsewhere but rather builds on it. What you will find in this book is a very well-thought-out framework for linking secondary, tertiary, and minor progressions. Blaschke believes that secondary progressions correspond to the physical body, tertiaries to the emotional body, and minor aspects to the mental body...definitely worth checking out.  --Donna Van Toen, NCGR memberletter
