Product Description
Eclipses play a crucial role in the fates of nations and the lives of individuals. Nationally known astrologer Celeste Teal draws on nearly thirty years of astrological experience to explain and illustrate how eclipses act as cosmic telegrams about the current state of our world, our personal lives, and our relationships with others.
Eclipses illustrates how recent and historical events can be linked directly to eclipses, and provides predictions for their effects on world events in the next decade and beyond. Readers will explore the effects of prenatal eclipses on the natal chart, as well as past, present, and future eclipses. While eclipses are often mentioned in monthly horoscopes, no other book has ever attempted to demonstrate how these heavenly events are observably connected to both world events and personal affairs.

• Good Astrological Points, Odd Presentation 09 February, 2008
This book contains some useful information and a few handy tables for working with recent eclipses. It would have been about half its size if the editorializing about history and politics was left out. I prefer more straightforward books about universal (commonly called mundane) astrology, like Time And Money: The Economy And The Planets, or Planetary Stock Trading III. Much of the medieval eclipse lore is cheerfully refuted, but the concept of overlapping powerpoints from active eclipses is not really exploited in a way that makes (what I perceive to be) the central premise of the book to stand out. She draws conclusions about personal eclipse effects that are similar to my own, but many of the examples are anonymous individuals with no verifiable horoscopes or histories. This means that we have to trust that these conclusions are real. We also have no way of knowing if the events and changes described are the results of eclipses, progressions, directions, time lords, dasas, black years, solar returns or some combination thereof. Although I do not doubt the integrity and good intentions of the author, I think that verifiable charts of famous people would have better served the book's purpose. However, the book is not a waste of time for a new student of astrology, in that it has lots of interesting tidbits of information, and can be a springboard to books such as New Dimensions by Charles Jayne, Eclipses: The Powerpoints of Astrology (An Aquarian Astrology Handbook), and others. Plus, it's fun - I never thought of looking at the connection between eclipses, Roswell and UFO's before.

• A Book I Can Use On A Planetary Scale 08 January, 2007
This is NOT one of those books on astrology with a title that sounds like its something you need, that starts off well-intended and becomes a wallowing, multi-tangented meandering about the landscape, dragging you through endless cul-de-sacs of examples you can never use in real life.
Then there are other astrologers who seem intended on using astrology like a pipe wrench to twist your perspective to their world view with a seemingly Stalinist interpretation of an innocent Zodiac. When will astrologers get it through their heads that we, the book-buying public want the principles of astrology, not the endless chopstick-picking through of individual natal charts or their useless, blind personal biases?
I was looking for clarity. I found it here in Eclipses, and this book eclipses those mindsets!
I found "Eclipses" to be everything I'd hoped (but hadn't expected) it to be when I'd ordered it. First off, it was a truly interesting read the first time through. Rather than slogging through a few chapters at a time, holding my nose and eating Rolaids while taking notes of the precious few details of information as I would with most other astrology books, I was surprised to find myself looking forward to each successive chapter, and ended up reading it in one enjoyable sitting. I really must commend Ms. Teal on this book. It must have a nice natal chart.
It's logical in format, uncluttered and concise, intelligent, precise in content, unbiased and yes, I actually have it at my desk to use frequently as a reference. This book is remarkable in how it spotlighted the information and cut a path from a logical beginning through the present and into the future. Great information included up through 2012. She even intuited what questions you would've asked and had some great chapters on future events having to do with the economy and the U.S. and world events already worked out.
This is one book that will never share company with those other books in that special place on the bottom of my bookshelf, where I allow my cats to practice their paper recycling techniques.

• Excellent! 25 August, 2007
I really enjoyed this book from Celeste Teal, as I do all of her books. My only complaint is... the book ended too soon. I received it and read it all in one afternoon!

• A Very Good Introduction To Eclipses 03 March, 2008
I have just finished reading Eclipses by Celeste Teal and I am impressed by her ability to make this subject very accessible and easy to understand. With numerous examples, she illustrates the power and timing of eclipses on world events and on personal experiences. Nicely done.
