Having read Jan Spiller's "New Moon Astrology" in the past (and finding it very interesting), this was another incentive to look closely at the information presented in this book.

Self-fulfillment means different things to individuals, so I am interested to see what Jan and Karen have to offer - directions to self-fulfillment for all that read this book seems a bit of a large undertaking!

Jan Spiller has a long history of involvement in the astrological field, including contributions as a monthly columnist for Dell Horoscope, the astrology magazine with the largest circulation in the world. She teaches astrology and appears regularly as a radio and television guest. Other books Ms Spiller has authored include New Moon Astrology, How to be Safe in an Unsafe World and Astrology for the Soul which have been translated into 10 languages to date.

Part One of Spiritual Astrology looks at the planets, signs and houses and was written by Ms Spiller. Some of the information here can be found in many basic astrology books but the author interprets the various symbolism in a spiritual context. The meaning of Moon and Saturn signs in regards to past lives and karma are explored in this section too.

Prenatal eclipses in regards to life path and destiny are explored in Part Two. Karen McCoy researched the work in this chapter for four years and used more than four thousand birth charts during this time! Her research looked at the difference between the solar and lunar eclipse and what they meant to the individual. She also discovered another aspect of eclipses that may interest readers who have children. Jan Spiller contributed to this part of the book too.

After reading the material that relates to my own birth data, I came to the conclusion that this book has a lot to offer. The information covered much ground and gave me a lot to think about. The meaning of prenatal solar and lunar eclipses in the twelve zodiac signs were explored in detail, as well as looking at the placement of eclipses in the various houses of the birth chart.
