Book Description
"If you’re going to read a book on astrology, it should have a fresh perspective with clear insights. It should be a little edgy so you can have some fun with it. It’s got to cut to the chase and give you the real skinny on the what, where, how, when, and why of your horoscope, with no holds barred, because these days who’s got time, money, or patience for fluffy, puffed up euphemism? Joyce Levine’s Breakthrough Astrology is the hot ticket item for astrology in the 21st century. She’s a no-nonsense writer who knows her stuff." —from the Foreword by Michael Lutin, astrologer for Vanity Fair Breakthrough Astrology teaches readers to look at astrology from a psychological perspective, a process that offers tools for self-empowerment and self-improvement. In this useful introduction to psychological astrology, Joyce Levine teaches a process that is a bit like an esoteric version of the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator, but one based on thousands of years of research, not mere decades. Unlike hardcore advanced psychological astrology books, many of them based on one system and accessible only to those with years of astrological practice, Levine offers a comprehensive overview and then gets down to the nitty-gritty information individuals need to begin using information on their strengths and weaknesses and how to use these to an advantage. Breakthrough Astrology offers step-by-step guidance on how to get a chart and how to glean information useful to everyday living from each of the twelve houses. Joyce Levine is "the astrologer’s astrologer" and has been a professional in the field for more than thirty years. She is a member of the NCGR Executive Committee and has been a board member for the United Astrology Conference. Joyce Levine speaks and teaches regularly and has contributed to many astrological publications such as Dell Horoscope, Horoscope Guide, American Astrology, and media such as The Boston Globe and A&E’s "The Unexplained". She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

• An Excellent Do-it-yourself Guide To Understanding Star Signs And What They Say About Us 05 August, 2006
Written by a professional "astrologer's astrologer" of more than thirty years' experience, Breakthrough Astrology: Transform Yourself And Your World is a solid introduction to psychological astrology. Based on thousands of years' worth of tradition and research, Breakthrough Astrology presents processes resembling the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator, describing at length what each of the planets' influence represents in a person's character: for example, Venus represents "Love Nature" while Saturn influences "Work Ethic". An excellent do-it-yourself guide to understanding star signs and what they say about us.

• Comprehensive And On Target 22 August, 2006
I have been to Joyce Levine many times throughtout the years. What makes this book so valuable is her stated objective: to help people understand themselves, strengths and conflicts included. When you know your date, time and location of your birth, she gives you an online link so that you can get your chart. The only thing missing is chart progressions, you'll have to schedule time with her for that.

• Great Reference Book 05 August, 2006
I found a lot of good material in here. I frequently want to look up information on various people I know or meet, as I find out about their charts. And of course I've read everything pertaining to myself and paid close attention to the suggestions. I see astrology as yet another tool to use to learn about my self, and I find Joyce Levine's concepts to be a great help. But it! You won't be sorry.

• Interesting! 13 August, 2006
Astrology, for the novices among us (including me), is made up of four factors:
1. Planets represent the energy of life--what drives our nature (the actors)
2. Signs show how that energy or force manifests itself (roles we play)
3. House shows where the action takes place (stage setting)
4. Aspects identify the inter-relationships among the planets (interaction)
It makes more sense when you realize that the ten planets each play a role:
1. Sun (celestial body) represents the sense of identity
2. Moon (celestial body) represents our emotions
3. Mercury--the way we think
4. Venus--our love nature
5. Mars--how we assert ourselves
6. Jupiter--values and abundance
7. Saturn--duty and responsibility
8. Uranus--freedom urges and independence
9. Neptune--spirituality and creativity
10. Pluto--internal drive
Now given that information, you can see what people are talking about when they say "your ruling planet." The combination of this ruling planet and your Zodiac sign give you the characteristics we all have. For example, I am a Virgo. Planets in Virgo show practicality and discrimination. the horoscope also has "houses" that bring the chart down to earth. This is affected by the time and place of birth--including latitude and longitude. They also reflect different lays of our life.
As a newbie, knowing nothing about astrology (except reading my horoscope), I found Levine's explanations very clear and easy to understand. She has been a professional astrologer for over 30 years--yet left out any "astro-babble."
When you delve into the different sections, you will see where your innate strengths and weaknesses come from--it defines the dynamics of our personality.
As Dr. Christiane Northrup, MD says..."You can learn how your love life can be vastly improved by knowing your Venus placement, learn how your Mars sign drives your career choices and work life; learn how your Mars sign drivesyour moods.
Armchair Interviews says: This book is for the beginner who wants to learn more about astrology and how it affects their life.
