Customer Reviews

Great accessible psychological guide to major transits.
The late Howard Sasportas packed a huge amount of high quality astrological and psychological information into this intelligent, clear and accessible book. It has been one of my constant companions over the last 10 years or so, both in my work as a professional astrologer and in following my own transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

The first section, "The Collaboration with the Inevitable", is an excellent summary of how astrology can be used as a tool for understanding ongoing personal transformation, helping to turn perceived crises into opportunities. Sasportas then moves on to look in great detail and depth at the transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to each planet in the natal chart. A very large number of case histories are dotted throughout the transit interpretations, with a wide range of examples of how each planetary combination can show up in daily life. These possible events are considered in the context of the psychological development of the individual, Sasportas drawing on his extensive knowledge of many fields of psychology, mythology and spirituality.

Much of the astrological material here is similar to other classic transit books such as those by Robert Hand, Betty Lundsted or Stephen Arroyo (who Sasportas acknowledges), but Sasportas has masterfully integrated a huge number of additional psychological and spiritual insights from many sources. The Gods Of Change is a wise and compassionate conribution to modern astrology.

Why has this book been deleted?
I was horrified to learn that this book has been deleted! It must be one the best books ever written on astrology and goes way beyond anything written by other astrologers who will remain nameless. I fortunately still have a battered copy but Penguin Books are depriving people of a lot of superb information by taking this title out of print. You only have to look at the price that second hand copies are fetching to see how good it is. Come on Penguin, get your act together and put this book back on the bookshop shelves where it should be! Howard Sasportas (sadly now deceased) is one of the best astrology writers EVER! Anybody who is fortunate to have a copy of this book, treat it like the gold-dust that it is.

The best I've ever read about transists of Uranus, Neptunus and Pluto. This book is a "must" for students and astrologers
