Format:Paperback
This book is really great!!! Ms. Erin Sullivan is a well-rounded individual. Her very to the point descriptions of planets use modern psychology and Greek, Romean and North-American mythology to name but a few.
This book on Retrograde Planets is quite unique. It establishes a sound theory for interpreting not only the use of retrograde planets in a natal horoscope but also their transits and their progressions.
The bibliography is also astounding. The writer refers to a lot of other books by well known astrologers to make her point but also manages to use in depth psychology. Finally, there are a lot of examples in the book from the writer's experience as a consulting astrologer which help the reader understand the meaning of the chapter more accurately.
I most certainly recommend this book to any student of astrologer, professional astrologer and anyone who has at least one retrograde planet in his natal horoscope!

Thank you, Erin
19 Sep 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is one of my all-time favorite astrology books. It made the movements of the planets understandable to me as no other book has. It includes detailed descriptions of the retrograde cycles of *all* the planets, and gives examples of how to use them in delineation. I found the parts about progressed aspects and stations particularly useful. Transits are included as well. There are many example charts with case histories to illustrate the principles Ms. Sullivan so clearly explains. I'd choose this book as part of an "essential" astrological library.

Astrology Down Under
2 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
Erin Sullivan's book, Retrograde Planets, was a landmark of sorts in astrology at the time it was first published in 1992. It was the first user-friendly astrology text/book to really address the issue of retrogrades in an in-depth and thought-full manner. Retrograde planets seem to turn around and go backward from our perspective on earth. During their backwards transit, they encourage us to look at the "under" or "other" side of things, thus the title of my review. We are all used to Mercury's retrograde three times a year, or we should be or at least have heard of it. Sullivan's book doesn't stop there. She considers the nature and mechanics of retrogression as it affects the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and the outer planets as well. You will not find a more thorough or READABLE explanation of this important phenomena. Sullivan also gives a good long chapter to retrograde natal planets and the secondary progression of retrograde planets or planets to retrograde. Not the most exciting writer in the world, Sullivan is nonetheless, thorough, methodical, devoted to her work and readable enough. I give this 5 stars not because the book is a real can't put downer, but rather because Sullivan is a meticulous astrologer who really knows her stuff. "Retrograde Planets" should be considered a good intermediate reference volume for the budding professional astrology.

Retrogression Fully Explained.....
14 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has an amazing amount of info, written w/ great depth by Ms. Sullivan. It is a classic & must be read cover-to-cover. This is one for the serious Astrologer/student, & will be worth your effort! Some Astrology books seem slim in content...this one is chocked full of information on a sometimes ignored factor which occurs in most charts. Put your best thinking cap on for this one! Bravo, Erin!
