Product Description
Product Description
Life isn't always easy. It's impossible to live deeply and not to feel pain or go through times of crisis, breakdown or major disruptive change. Although this is clearly inevitable, what is not always obvious is the crucial role pain and crisis play in the process of growth and evolution. While some people fall apart altogether and never make it through difficult times, many others emerge from conflict and turmoil renewed and transformed, indeed, more fully alive. They 'return' to life with a renewed sense of commitment to a neglected potential, with a renewed sense of what one might call the 'sacred' in life, with a richly enhanced sensitivity to others. This lovely and important work from Howard Sasportas teaches us how to respond to the transits of Uranus,Neptune and Pluto with calmness and a knowledge that the more we work with them, the more worthwhile will be the end result.

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.

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.

If you want to know about the slow transits, the ones that reflect big changes in our lives in a big way, then this is the book to get. It is accessible and illuminating.
Incidentally, if you want a book that shows how and why transits happen and how and why they are linked to God, then you must try The Astrology of God: Introducing God to the Modern World- this really is an astonishing book.
Another great book on transits is, of course, Planets in Transit: Life Cycles for Living
Why not really expand your knowledge and get all three?
