Product Description

From the Author

Detailed look at the inner workings of astrological aspects
Although not for beginners (since specific natal aspects--i.e., Sun square Jupiter--are not individually analyzed), this book will be appreciated by well-read "intermediate-level" astrology students looking for more meaty information about complex planetary configurations such as The Grand Trine, The T-Square, The Mystic Rectangle, and The Yod. Is a sextile simply a weaker trine, and do the square and the opposition aspects pretty much provide the same kind of tension? This book claims each aspect has its own individual temperament.

Out-of-sign aspects are also covered here, Novile. I've also included a thorough chapter on Retrograde planets from a natal, progressed, and transit point-of-view. Do you have an "unaspected" natal planet? There's a chapter on this condition as well. And what hemisphere and quadrant are most emphasized in your chart? This book offers suggestions about what that means for you.

At a time when many fine astrology books unfortunately go out-of-print in less than seven years, Dynamics Of Aspect Analysis has sold steadily since it first came out in the early 1980s. Readers love it. It is now read in five languages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some useful information about aspects 31 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is not a book that will tell you, for instance, what a square between Mars and Mercury might mean; if you want that kind of specificity, you should buy a book like Karen Hamaker-Zondag's "Aspects and Personality" instead. That said, there's quite a bit of interest here: The discussions of aspect configurations are more detailed than I've seen elsewhere, dealing in depth with different sorts of T-squares and grand trines while also treating some rarer combinations. The chapters on unaspected and retrograde planets are also very helpful. Perhaps the best thing about this book is its discussion of dissociate (out-of-sign) aspects; these are a problem that many treatments gloss over, but Tierney deals with them at length in a plausible way. I have a few gripes: Tierney seems to derive the basic meaning of an aspect from the degree that forms that aspect with the beginning of the sign of Aries; that seems like an unhelpful and in some cases misleading way of looking at it. He gives quite a bit of space to discussions of "upper" and "lower" aspects, which doesn't seem to me to be a useful distinction. If Amazon.Com let me, I would give this book three and half stars. It's not the first book on aspects I would recommend, but it is useful and I'm glad I bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mainstay for any astrologer 17 Mar 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Tierney deals with T-Squares, Yods, Kites, Grand Trines, Grand Crosses, Mystic Rectangles, Mystic Hexagrams, and even unaspected planets. Nowhere else have I found anything to compare to his intelligent analyses. Wish he had put pictures in and the typesetters understood what footnotes, headings, and callouts looked like. Small gripe. Buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamite book! 16 July 2003
By Rose Glavas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is not a new publication but I feel it deserves to be reviewed simply because of the quality and quantify of information found within it. For the serious astrology student or enthusiast, this book is a well written, in-depth exploration of not only major aspects, but also the minor aspects.

When I first bought this book for my own library of reference books, I must admit that I wasn't expecting such a wealth of information to be packed into less than 280 pages (A5 size)! This is not a book designed for light reading, so turn the TV and radio off.

Bil Tierney has been involved with astrology for more than thirty-five years. He has lectured and given workshops at major astrological conferences throughout the United States and Canada since the mid-1970s. The author has been a member of the Metropolitan Atlanta Astrological Society (MAAS) for many years, and has served as its newsletter/journal editor several times. Bil's work has been published in astrological publications such as Aspects and The Mercury Hour.

While looking through this book, I must say that I was impressed by the collection of references that would be particularly helpful for those of you wanting to explore certain topics in more depth. There is no index, although I'm not sure it would have made a difference having one since the information is so well set out.

My personal favourite part of this book is Chapter 10, Retrograde Planets. I liked the exploration of stationary planets within a natal and progressed chart and, of course, the individual planets within the birth chart that are retrograde, stationary retrograde and stationary direct. These themes are also explored in terms of transits and progressions as well.

All in all, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis is a book I recommend for the serious astrologer or astrology student to include as part of their personal reference library. Definitely worth having!
