About Dietmar Arthur Wehr

Dietmar Arthur Wehr began his working life attempting to climb the corporate ladder as a Financial Analyst. Along the way, he realized that he didn't want to work the outrageous hours needed to reach Upper Management. By the time he reached his upper 50's, it was obvious that he needed to change careers. He decided to write the kind of military science fiction that he loved to read. With David Weber's Honor Harrington as his inspiration, he has embarked on a journey to write The Synchronicity War series after paying homage to his favorite dead author, H. Beam Piper by writing 3 1/3rd sequels to a couple of Piper's novels.

Wonderen met woorden – Coach jezelf met logosynthese by Willem Lammers

Je zegt één zin en je voelt hoe angst, boosheid of schaamte uit je bewustzijn verdwijnen. Stel je voor hoe de oorzaken van pijn en verdriet je niet meer kwetsen en je lichaam zich ontspant. Logosynthese is een verrassend nieuw systeem voor zelfcoaching. Het gebruikt de kracht van woorden om negatieve overtuigingen op te lossen, angst, verdriet, schaamte en schuldgevoelens los te laten.

Logosynthese is een nieuwe, efficiënte methode om beter om te gaan met de valkuilen, blokkades, versperringen en wegomleggingen op je levenspad. Je leert om jezelf te coachen, of beter nog: om je door je Zelf te laten coachen. Jouw eigen Zelf, je Essentie, is namelijk de beste coach. Het Zelf heeft steeds een helder doel voor ogen, het is volledig in contact met mensen, het weet wanneer het hulp nodig heeft maakt zichzelf niet afhankelijk, en het kan en wil leren. In onze huidige op effectiviteit en efficiëntie gerichte maatschappij is een dergelijke coach goud waard. Jij hebt hem al en hij is er altijd voor jou.

Logosynthese helpt je om die coach in jezelf te ontdekken en het contact met het eigen, ware Zelf, te herstellen.

Met deze eenvoudige maar doeltreffende methode kun je gericht werken aan het oplossen van alledaagse problemen maar ook diepere levensvragen: Hoe maak ik tijd en energie vrij voor de leuke dingen in het leven? Hoe verbeter ik mijn prestaties en werk ik effciënter? Hoe herken en bereik ik mijn levensdoelen?

Je bevrijdt jezelf van emotionele beschadigingen, verstarde gedachten en vastgeroeste gedragspatronen. Zo kun je je leven fundamenteel veranderen.

Fashion Feng Shui: The Power of Dressing with Intention by Evana Maggiore

Clothing, your body’s most intimate environment, influences your life as much as the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui teaches that your home and business decors do. Evana Maggiore’s fascinating book introduces you to this transformational dressing technique that combines ancient wisdom and solid fashion and image advice.

Fashion Feng Shui® is an innovative, transformational dressing technique inspired by Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese Art of Placement. Based on the premise that you live a happier, healthier, more prosperous existence when your living and working environments are harmonious and balanced, Feng Shui encourages you to visually affirm your intentions in your personal and professional surroundings in order to create them in your life.



Fashion Feng Shui®, which considers clothing to be your body's most intimate environment, applies Feng Shui philosophy and principles to personal appearance. Maintaining that what you wear is as influential on your life as your home and business decors, Fashion Feng Shui® teaches you how to dress with mindfulness and intention so that your clothes express your authenticity and attract your deepest desires.



Using the energetic language of Nature's Five Elements, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal, to describe physical appearance, preferences and goals, lifestyle, and clothing design elements, Fashion Feng Shui® elevates what was once a mundane routine to mindful ritual, so that getting dressed becomes easy, fun and empowering.



The 2014 edition of Fashion Feng Shui: The Power of Dressing with Intention includes a new foreword by world-renowned image professional and Fashion Feng Shui® Master Trainer Sue Donnelly and a never-before-seen article and cutting-edge quiz by Evana Maggiore herself.

About Evana Maggiore

Evana Maggiore, founder of Fashion Feng Shui®, led a colorful life and left us a legacy that is at once soulful and stylish. A native of Boston and a graduate of UMass Amherst, she was a professional image consultant who expanded her business to include Feng Shui. Together with her dear friend Louise Elerding, she worked to create Fashion Feng Shui®, the first practice that connected the art of Chinese placement to fashion and personal style. She was an esteemed lecturer and inspiring teacher, bringing Fashion Feng Shui® to hundreds around the world. In 2001, Evana established the Love Yourself! Project, an annual day of holistic pampering for the guests of the Boston-based women's shelter Rosie's Place. She was a certified image professional, a charter member and vice-president of the Association of Image Consultants International, a member of the Fashion Group International and the International Feng Shui Guild, and a beloved colleague, friend, sister, wife and mom.

Toxic Metals and Antidotes – The Chelation Therapy Handbook (ebook Edition) by Dr. Eleonore Blaurock-Busch PhD

This book is designed to help physicians determine the chelator of choice. It is a diagnostic guide that helps differentiate between acute and chronic metal exposures.

Metals affect the development of a number of diseases. With our changing environment, the role of toxic metals and their influence on health received medical attention after the 1950s.

All chelating agents have a specific metal-binding capacity. EDTA easily binds calcium, iron and lead but is not mercury-specific. DMPS, however, is arsenic, mercury and lead specific but is not very calcium or iron-specific. The DTPAs are not designed to use for the detoxification of these common metals, but are recommended for the treatment of certain radioactive exposures. DMSA, which is considered the antidote with only minor side effects, is used for lead exposure in children. Each chelating agent has its use. Proper administration enhances the treatment success.



This book is designed to help physicians determine the chelator of choice. It is a diagnostic guide that helps differentiate between acute and chronic metal exposures, and provides easy to locate information regarding metal related diseases.

Negotiating for Success: Essential Strategies and Skills by George J. Siedel

This practical guide to personal and business negotiations goes beyond the bargaining phase to cover the entire process from your decision to negotiate through an evaluation of your negotiation performance. The book includes tools such as a negotiation planner, “decision trees” for calculating negotiation alternatives, psychological tools, and a tool for assessing your negotiation style.

We all negotiate on a daily basis. We negotiate with our spouses, children, parents and friends. We negotiate when we rent an apartment, buy a car, purchase a house and apply for a job. Your ability to negotiate might even be the most important factor in your career advancement.



Negotiation is also the key to business success. No organization can survive without contracts that produce profits. At a strategic level, businesses are concerned with value creation and achieving competitive advantage. But the success of high-level business strategies depends on contracts made with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. Contracting capability—the ability to negotiate and perform successful contracts—is the most important function in any organization.



This book is designed to help you achieve success in your personal negotiations and in your business transactions. The book is unique in two ways. First, the book not only covers negotiation concepts, but also provides practical actions you can take in future negotiations. This includes a Negotiation Planning Checklist and a completed example of the checklist for your use in future negotiations.



The book also includes (1) a tool you can use to assess your negotiation style; (2) examples of “decision trees,” which are useful in calculating your alternatives if your negotiation is unsuccessful; (3) a three-part strategy for increasing your power during negotiations; (4) a practical plan for analyzing your negotiations based on your reservation price, stretch goal, most-likely target, and zone of potential agreement; (5) clear guidelines on ethical standards that apply to negotiations; (6) factors to consider when deciding whether you should negotiate through an agent; (7) psychological tools you can use in negotiations—and traps to avoid when the other side uses them; (8) key elements of contract law that arise during negotiations; and (9) a checklist of factors to use when you evaluate your performance as a negotiator.



Second, the book is unique in its holistic approach to the negotiation process. Other books often focus narrowly either on negotiation or on contract law. Furthermore, the books on negotiation tend to focus on what happens at the bargaining table without addressing the performance of an agreement. These books make the mistaken assumption that success is determined by evaluating the negotiation rather than evaluating performance of the agreement. Similarly, the books on contract law tend to focus on the legal requirements for a contract to be valid, thus giving short shrift to the negotiation process that precedes the contract and to the performance that follows.



In the real world, the contracting process is not divided into independent phases. What happens during a negotiation has a profound impact on the contract and on the performance that follows. The contract’s legal content should reflect the realities of what happened at the bargaining table and the performance that is to follow. This book, in contrast to others, covers the entire negotiation process in chronological order beginning with your decision to negotiate and continuing through the evaluation of your performance as a negotiator.



A business executive in one of the negotiation seminars the author teaches as a University of Michigan professor summarized negotiation as follows: “Life is negotiation!” No one ever stated it better. As a mother with young children and as a company leader, the executive realized that negotiations are pervasive in our personal and business lives. With its emphasis on practical action, and with its chronological, holistic approach, this book provides a roadmap you can use when navigating through your life as a negotiator.

About George J. Siedel

George Siedel is the Williamson Family Professor of Business Administration and the Thurnau Professor of Business Law at the University of Michigan. He teaches negotiation in the MBA program at Michigan’s Ross School of Business and in seminars around the world to business leaders, entrepreneurs, attorneys, physicians, athletic directors, and judges.



Professor Siedel completed his graduate studies at the University of Michigan and Cambridge University. He has served as a visiting professor at Stanford University and Harvard University and as a Visiting Scholar at University of California, Berkeley. As a Fulbright Scholar, he held a Distinguished Chair in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

This bundle includes books #7, #8 and #9 (A RITE OF SWORDS, A GRANT OF ARMS and A SKY OF SPELLS) in Morgan Rice’s #1 Bestselling fantasy series THE SORCERER’S RING.

“A breathtaking new epic fantasy series. Morgan Rice does it again! This magical saga reminds me of the best of J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Rick Riordan, Christopher Paolini and J.R.R. Tolkien.” --Allegra Skye, Bestselling author



This bundle includes books #7, #8 and #9 (A RITE OF SWORDS, A GRANT OF ARMS and A SKY OF SPELLS) in Morgan Rice’s #1 Bestselling fantasy series THE SORCERER’S RING. These three bestselling novels are all here in one convenient file and offer a great step deeper into the world of the SORCERER’S RING series. Over 200,000 words of reading, all for an incredible price! It is a great deal and makes the perfect gift!



THE SORCERER’S RING series tells the epic tale of the coming of age of Thorgrin, a special 14 year old boy, the least loved of his father, as he strives to become a warrior in the magical Kingdom of the Ring, as he learns he has powers and a destiny he does not understand. An outsider, he must fight for acceptance as he strives to join the King’s elite Legion, and as he falls in love with the king’s 16 year old daughter. Most of all, he must learn who he really is, why his destiny is so important, and why the fate of the Ring depends on him.



In Books #7, #8 and #9, the saga deepends. In A RITE OF SWORDS (Book #7 in the Sorcerer's Ring), Thor grapples with his legacy, battling to come to terms with who his father is, whether to reveal his secret, and what action he must take. In a final, shocking twist, Thor learns that while his powers are supreme, he also has a hidden weakness—one that may just bring his final downfall. Will Thor and the others liberate the Ring and defeat Andronicus? Will Gwendolyn become the queen they all need her to be? What will become of the Destiny Sword, of Erec, Kendrick, Reece and Godfrey? And what is the secret that Alistair is hiding?



In A GRANT OF ARMS (Book #8 in the Sorcerer’s Ring), Thor is caught between titanic forces of good and evil, as Andronicus and Rafi use all of their dark sorcery to attempt to crush Thor’s identity and take control of his very soul. Gwendolyn, with Alistair, Steffen and Aberthol, ventures deep into the Netherworld, on her quest to find Argon and free him from his magical trap. Reece leads the Legion members as they embark on a near-impossible quest to do what has never been done before: to descend into the depths of the Canyon and find and retrieve the lost Sword. Will the Ring fall into complete and final destruction?



In A SKY OF SPELLS (Book #9 in the Sorcerer's Ring), Thorgrin finally returns to himself and must confront his father once and for all. An epic battle occurs, as two titans face each other, and as Rafi uses his power to summon an army of undead. As the new Queen of the Ring, Gwendolyn uses her powers to unite both MacGils and McClouds and King’s Court slowly comes back to life once again. Thor finds himself summoned to embark on his greatest quest of all: to seek out his mysterious mother in a faraway land and to find out who he really is. With multiple wedding preparations in the air, with Spring returning, King’s Court rebuilding, festivals afoot, peace seems to settle back onto the Ring. But danger lurks in the most unforeseen corners, and all of these characters greatest tribulations might be yet to come.



With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

When the Yankees Were on the Fritz –Revisiting the “Horace Clark Era” by Fritz Peterson

"When the Yankees Were on the Fritz" is about a low time in New York Yankee history, the Horace Clarke Era, 1966-1974. Fritz's scouts had sold him on the concept that if he were on the Yankees he would be getting a World Series check almost every season, but instead, the Yankees fell to last place in the American League for the first time ever. Fritz never did get a World Series check.

This book is written from a players perspective and attempts to explain why the New York Yankees didn't, and couldn't have won any pennants from 1966 through 1974, a time known as "The Horace Clarke Era" by baseball historians. The book takes the reader from the first day Fritz Peterson appeared in a Yankee uniform in the spring in 1966 to the day he, and three teammates were traded to the Indians in April, 1974. The book shows both the personal and professional sides of life being a New York Yankee in the 1960's and 1970's before free agency when the players were more like a family rather than a business when players all had to work during off seasons, now a lost art. Many players will be highlighted because of the impressions or various incidents that happened making them especially memorable to Fritz. Players range from Mickey Mantle, down to Luke Lamboley, Fritz's first friend to be released (fired) from the Yankee organization.

About Fritz Peterson

Fritz Peterson was born in 1942 in Chicago, Illinois and was a White Sox fan until he signed with the NY Yankees in 1963. He won the first game he started on April 15, 1966 against the would be World Champion Baltimore Orioles, 3-2. It was the only game the Orioles lost that month. He won 20 games in 1970 and pitched in the All Star game that season. After an 11 year career he holds the lowest career E.R.A. in the long 85 year history of Old Yankee Stadium. Fritz had an over all e.r.a. of 2.52, Whitey Ford was second with a 2.58 e.r.a.

Fritz became an author in 2009 and again in 2012 and is finishing up 2 other books in 2014. He finds humor in almost everything he does. He and his wife have been married for over 40 years and have raised 7 children (so far) with a 7 year old grand daughter living with them as of 2014.

Finally available as a single collection, the five books in the Double Helix series have gathered over 98 Amazon reviews with an average of 4.3 stars.



His genetic code sourced from the best that humanity offers, Galahad embodies the pinnacle of perfection. When Zara Itani, a mercenary, frees him from his laboratory prison, she offers him a chance to claim everything that had ever been denied him, starting with his humanity.



Perfection cannot be unleashed without repercussions; Galahad’s freedom shatters Danyael Sabre’s life.



An alpha empath, Danyael is rare and coveted, even among the alpha mutants who dominate the Genetic Revolution. He wields the power to heal or kill with a touch, but craves only privacy—an impossible dream for the man who was used as Galahad’s physical template.



Galahad and Danyael, two men, one face. One man seeks to embrace destiny, and the other to escape it.

About Jade Kerrion

Welcome! I’m Jade Kerrion, a Science Fiction author. I graduated from the Johns Hopkins University with an undergraduate degree in Biology and Philosophy, and then went on to get my MBA from the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Virginia.



My varied background led me through many careers across many industries, including container shipping, education, and management consulting. In my spare time, I wrote stories – young adult, fantasy, and science fiction – and developed a loyal reader base with my fan fiction series based on the MMORPG Guild Wars. I was accused of keeping my readers up at night, distracting them from work, housework, homework, and (far worse), from actually playing Guild Wars.



And then I wondered why just screw up the time management skills of gamers? Why not aspire to screw everyone else up too?



So here I am, writing books that aspire to keep you from doing anything else useful with your time.



I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with my wonderfully supportive husband and my two young sons, Saint and Angel, (no, those aren’t their real names, but they are like saints and angels, except when they’re not.)



Thank you for visiting!

Μαγειρεύοντας για τον άλλο Άνθρωπο by Κοινωνική Κουζίνα “Ο Άλλος 'Ανθρωπος”

Το βιβλίο «Μαγειρεύοντας για τον άλλο Άνθρωπο» είναι μια συλλογική συνεργασία μιας ομάδας food bloggers, που μέσα από το πάθος μας για το φαγητό, συνδυάσαμε τις γνώσεις μας πάνω στη μαγειρική για να βοηθήσουμε μια ομάδα ανθρώπων που είναι λιγότερο τυχεροί απ’ ότι είμαστε εμείς που ασχολούμαστε με το φαγητό.

Το βιβλίο «Μαγειρεύοντας για τον άλλο Άνθρωπο» είναι μια συλλογική συνεργασία μιας ομάδας food bloggers, που μέσα από το πάθος μας για το φαγητό, συνδυάσαμε τις γνώσεις μας πάνω στη μαγειρική για να βοηθήσουμε μια ομάδα ανθρώπων που είναι λιγότερο τυχεροί απ’ ότι είμαστε εμείς που ασχολούμαστε με το φαγητό.

Καλέσαμε γνωστούς Chef να μας βοηθήσουν και με μεγάλη χαρά ανταποκρίθηκαν στο αίτημά μας και μας πρόσφεραν και αυτοί τις δικές τους συνταγές.

Το βιβλίο αυτό είναι μία συλλογή με 100 από τις καλύτερες συνταγές μας.



«Η ιδέα της κοινωνικής κουζίνας "Ο Άλλος Άνθρωπος" ξεκίνησε όταν είδαμε στις λαϊκές αγορές της Αθήνας, ανθρώπους όλων των ηλικιών, εθνικοτήτων και κοινωνικών στρωμάτων, να ψάχνουν τα σκουπίδια για να μαζέψουν τρόφιμα που δεν μπορούν πια να αγοράσουν. Η πρώτη σχεδόν αυτονόητη δράση ήταν να μαγειρέψουμε από το σπίτι μας φαγητά, από αυτά που τρώμε και να τα μοιράσουμε στις λαϊκές. Ζητήσαμε από τους παραγωγούς να μας δώσουν ένα προϊόν από τον πάγκο τους για να συνεχίσουμε την επόμενη μέρα. Αποφασίσαμε να μαγειρεύουμε ζωντανά το φαγητό στον κόσμο, τρώγοντας όλοι μαζί, για να έρθουμε όλοι πιο κοντά και για να σπάσουμε την ντροπή που πιθανότατα ένιωθε κάποιος όταν του μοιράζαμε μαγειρεμένο φαγητό.

Επίσης στόχος της κοινωνικής κουζίνας είναι να καταφέρει μέσα από τη δράση της, να δίνει σε άνεργους που ασχολούνται καθημερινά με την δράση της κουζίνας, ό,τι χρήματα περισσεύουν από το ταμείο, (30-40 ευρώ τον μήνα) καθώς και από τα διάφορα δρώμενα που θα γίνονται για την ενίσχυση της κουζίνας να βγαίνει κάτι και για τους εθελοντές!

Η ιδέα της κοινωνικής κουζίνας "Ο Άλλος Άνθρωπος" είναι μια κίνηση αλληλεγγύης και ένδειξης αγάπης προς τους συνανθρώπους μας, με την ελπίδα να αφυπνιστούν συνειδήσεις και να γίνουν και άλλες παρόμοιες δράσεις από άλλους ανθρώπους και ομάδες.»

Warden of Time, the ninth novel in the After Cilmeri series, continues the story of time travel, romance, and adventure begun with Daughter of Time …



As both modern man and medieval king, David is committed to transforming medieval England into his own version of Avalon. Not everyone supports his ideals, however, and having offended the pope by welcoming Jews and heretics into England, David is summoned to Canterbury to explain himself.



But when information comes to light that reveals the accusations against him have less to do with religion than with power and wealth, David finds himself on familiar ground—and at the center of a conspiracy that stretches from Ireland to Italy. Facing excommunication, a fickle populace, and a rebellion even by his fellow time travelers, he must decide what his throne is worth, and what he’s willing to sacrifice to keep it.

Eternal by Israel Barbuzano

ETERNAL is a fantasy novel set in a grim yet wondrous afterlife; an afterlife shared by every species in the Universe. It's a place where humanity has no shortage of enemies, where thoughts may shape reality and ceasing to exist is a very real possibility.

Aaron and Alexandra Gretchen arrive at separate locations in this afterlife. This is the story of their quest to be reunited.

"Until death do us part."

It was a solemn oath for them, a promise to be together until the very end.

When the blast reached them, the oath was fulfilled. Death took them, swift, ruthless.

Alexandra Gretchen thought she'd arrive at the gates of heaven.

Aaron Gretchen knew to expect oblivion.

They were wrong.

Death took them, and so began their journey.



ETERNAL is a fantasy novel set in a grim yet wondrous afterlife; an afterlife shared with every other species in the Universe. It's a place where humanity has no shortage of enemies, where thoughts may shape reality and ceasing to exist is a very real possibility. Separated upon arrival, Aaron and Alexandra will strive through it all in the hopes of being reunited...but who could keep hope alive in the realms of the dead?



ETERNAL reads like dark fantasy, but also incorporates science fiction and dystopian elements, exploring themes of faith, the resilience of hope, interspecies relations and the limits of human knowledge. It's a harrowing fight of survival; the unraveling of an ancient conspiracy; a heartwarming love story.



A tale where death only marks a new beginning.

Jolt by Kris Bryant

Mystery writer Bethany Lange wasn’t prepared for the twisting emotions that left her breathless the moment she laid eyes on folk singer sensation Ali Hart. Of course she was flat on her back and looking up and backward at the gorgeous singer, but that didn’t stop her body and heart from bursting into a kaleidoscope of want, need, and lust.

Mystery writer Bethany Lange wasn’t prepared for the twisting emotions that left her breathless the moment she laid eyes on folk singer sensation Ali Hart. Of course she was flat on her back and looking up and backward at the gorgeous singer, but that didn’t stop her body and heart from bursting into a kaleidoscope of want, need, and lust. Scared at the intensity of her feelings, Bethany does everything she can to avoid Ali at Camp Jacomo, the camp designed specifically for children of lesbian and gay families where Bethany volunteers every summer. The camp director convinces the hottest singer at the moment, Ali Hart, to spend a week teaching the children music to everybody’s delight except Bethany’s. On her last day at camp, Ali approaches Bethany with an offer of friendship, but they both know it’s the prelude to something bolder. Should Bethany take the risk? Does she really believe she can balance her quiet private life with Ali’s outspoken one?

About Kris Bryant

Kris Bryant grew up a military brat living in several different countries before her family settled down in the Midwest when she was twelve. Books were her only form of entertainment overseas, and she read anything and everything within her reach. Reading eventually turned into writing when she decided she didn’t like the way some of the novels ended and wanted to give the characters she fell in love with the ending she thought they so deserved. Earning a B.A. in English from the University of Missouri, Kris focused more on poetry, and after some encouragement from her girlfriend, decided to tackle her own book.

Foodie's De-Lite by Randi Davis

No rubbery cheese or card board pasta. “Yuk”! This armoire is a lineup of tasty and satisfying meals that can be shared with family and friends that actually ask for the recipe.

Losing weight and sustaining a healthy lifestyle does not have to be the result of dieting and deprivation. I lost 70 pounds years ago and defend that feat every day. Foodie’s De-Lite is collection of original recipes and some traditional make-overs. It was created by popular demand with the health conscious food lover in mind. The beauty of these recipes, however, is that they can be enjoyed by all. They taste great, look great and fact that they are light, is simply a bonus.

About Randi Davis

Depth Astrology: An Astrological Handbook – Volumes 1-4 (Introduction, Planets in Signs, Planets in Houses, Planets in Aspect) by Gargatholil

The complete set of Gargatholil's 4-volume work, Depth Astrology: An Astrological Handbook--the first comprehensive handbook interpreting the astrological symbol set using the psycho-transformative depth astrology approach. For the novice or professional, this work is an introduction to depth astrology and explores the meanings of planets in signs, houses and aspect. Sample individual volumes.

This is the complete set of Gargatholil's 4-volume work, Depth Astrology: An Astrological Handbook--the first comprehensive handbook interpreting the astrological symbol set in the tradition of such pioneers as Dane Rudhyar, Liz Greene and Stephen Arroyo. In the Introduction, Gargatholil explains the theory and philosophy behind his approach to depth astrology. The Introduction also is a basic astrological primer, providing essential meanings from a depth astrology viewpoint for the astrological symbol set--planets, signs, houses, aspects, elements and modalities. In Planets in Signs, planetary placements in each of the 12 zodiacal signs are interpreted using the psycho-transformative depth astrology approach. In Planets in Houses, planetary placements in each of the 12 astrological houses are interpreted. In Planets in Aspect, each of the six major astrological aspects--conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition and, for most planetary combinations, the quincunx) are interpreted for each binary planetary aspect occurring in the twentieth century and in the twenty-first century through 2013. "Planets" include the 10 traditional astrological planets, the Ascendant and Midheaven, the Moon's Nodes and the Part of Fortune, except that the Ascendant and Midheaven are not contained in Planets in Houses. Each interpretation contains: an explanation of the essential meaning and potential manifestations of the planet in its placement, based on the interaction between the planetary and other zodiacal symbols; the transcendent potential of the planetary placement; and manifestations of the planetary placement from a place of insecurity. Planets in Signs also includes common meanings of the planetary placement on a positive-to-negative continuum and the "influence" of the planet when aspecting or aspected by another planet. Planets in Houses includes an interpretation of the focus of the psychological function symbolized by each planet. The handbook is searchable using the Table of Contents, with links back to the Table of Contents for ease of multiple look-ups.



Depth Astrology: An Astrological Handbook is a valuable tool for the novice just entering the field of depth astrology, for the professional astrologer desiring a look-up of planetary interpretations that provide guidance to the unfolding potentialities of planetary placements, or for anyone seeking to use the astrological symbol-set as a tool for self-discovery and growth.



To sample Planets in Signs, Planets in Houses, or Planets in Aspect, please go to those individual volumes.

About Gargatholil

Gargatholil's interest in astrology began more than 40 years ago with his discovery of the works of Dane Rudhyar and Alan Leo. In the 1980s, Gargatholil;s knowledge of astrology was further informed by the writing of Donna Cunningham, Stephen Arroyo and Liz Greene. Gargatholil has always appreciated astrology as a tool for self-knowledge and personal growth. He believes, while transits may be valuable for understanding the "astrol weather" one is experiencing, it is the natal chart that holds the key to interpreting the drives and motivations, qualities, internal conflicts and challenges, and potential of the personality resident in this lifetime. Gargatholil has long rejected using astrology to attempt to predict the future on both practical and spiritual grounds.



Gargatholil has a Libra Sun and Taurus Ascendant (both ruled by Venus), with Moon in Capricorn in the tenth house (both ruled by Saturn) cusp Aquarius (ruled by Uranus). The primary rulers of Gargatholil's chart, Venus and Saturn, are conjunct in Virgo, while the Moon forms the point of a Yod to Saturn and Uranus. Understandably, Gargatholil has a straight gig and does not wish his identity to be revealed. He also is grateful to have been blessed with the capacity to bring the content of the Higher Mind to a more concrete and structured level.



Gargatholil has eclectic taste in music. His criteria for considering something worthwhile listening to boils down to "as long as she's been doin' it right."
