Everyone has at least a little bit of interest in astrology. Whether your style is just reading your horoscope in the newspaper, or you've seen an astrologist to have your stars charted, Influence of the Zodiac Upon Human Life, With Character Readings of Persons Born Under the Cusp will definitely fascinate you. Influence of the Zodiac Upon Human Life, With Character Readings of Persons Born Under the Cusp was an influential book during the early stages of the New Thought movement, which taught Western audiences about Eastern mystical practices. Author Eleanor Kirk embraces what she calls the Occult Laws, which contain the essential wisdom of ancient spiritual leaders. Influence of the Zodiac Upon Human Life, With Character Readings of Persons Born Under the Cusp breaks down the twelve astrological signs, listing the traits, strengths and weaknesses of people born under each sign. Kirk advises the reader about what their signs mean, including the impact on marriages, childrearing and career. For example, she states fire signs and water signs should never marry, because water puts out fire but fire cannot touch water. After detailing the personality characteristics, Kirk gives tips she calls "mode of growth," which explain how the person can best honor their Zodiac traits. Pisceans, for instance, are said to be peculiar, loving and obstinate, and prone to fits of anxiety and pessimism. Kirk prescribes a quiet room dedicated to meditating on the mantra "I can, I will," to calm and center the fish sign. By emphasizing that a person's astrological sign is an influence, not a fate, Kirk informs people that they can control their own destinies. Kirk's writing style is concise, but never dry. One of the book's strengths is its sense of urgency. Kirk describes the purpose of learning astrological truths with the conviction of a person who believes the fate of the world depends upon it. Kirk beseeches readers to open their minds to new lines of thought, reminding them that"[H]e who has eyes to see can read between the lines." Influence of the Zodiac Upon Human Life, With Character Readings of Persons Born Under the Cusp is an excellent summary of the personal traits and influence of the heavens. All readers will find the prose compelling and the subject matter intriguing. It is a good book for those who are just starting to investigate astrology or for those who are experienced and seeking a refresher course.
