Format:Paperback
Over 20 years old, this book still remains one of the modern classics that no contemporary astrologer can afford to be without. Just about every serious astrologer I've ever met has got a copy of this on his or her shelf!
For most of the book, Robert Hand explores the meaning of every possible combination of planetary transits, including those to the ascendant and midheaven (astrologers using Chiron however, will have to look elsewhere). The introductory chapters about the interpretation and timing of transits are well worth a read, and these are followed by a case study of Nixon and the Watergate scandals in the early 1970s. Then its on to a chapter for each planet and the transits it makes to all the others.
Hand's interpretations are full of psychological insights, but the nature of specific events that may occur are also covered. For the first few years I had this book I tended to focus on the more obvious long-term transits of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) but eventually I became just as intrigued by the uncanny accuracy of the "insignificant" daily or even hourly transits of the Sun, the Moon and Mercury. The smallest and the largest life cycles have their part to play.
Buy this book and prove or disprove predictive astrology for yourself!

Format:Paperback
The book is a bristling star,there was no clear and complete work on transits. The radical chart and secondary progressions are considered of prime importance.The TRANSITIONS were used only for daily and weekly fore-cast to general mass.Here in this book ROBERT HAND brings these transitions to individual radical horoscope in exacting and eliciting the results. In past no one tried to draw the attention and focus a searching light on this hazy and dim area. Now all can confidently use this for a an qualified and elevated study to fill the vacume.It is very much useful to a beginner as well to a professional.I feel it is amust on the table for both. I applaude and appreciate the out standing work done by ROBERT HAND.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
First written in 1976 this book has never been bettered. It is not an introductory text and assumes some knowledge of astrology. It gives a comprehensive, easily accessed guide to the archetypal meanings of various transits. It gets the balance right mostly between the cookbook approach and the varity of outcomes allowed by meshing and clashing archetypes. Over 500 pages long but concise this is a reference book rather than bedtime reading. My copy became worn through repetitive use.
