The Astrological Book of Life is a mosaic of fiction, essay, and mystery. A conversation between a monkey and a dragon dining on an Italian train, this introduction to the history of astrology takes you from India to China to Babylon to Mexico and to ancient cultures all around the world. As a reference book this is a great resource. It is also a light-hearted tale for newcomers to astrology and for seasoned practitioners looking to explore their roots in further detail.
