This twenty-year study of astrology in the lives of people and the planet shows how to free prejudice and reveal clear ways to happier lives.
It is an anthology of key passages from articles, originally published in the bi-monthly Astrological Journal between March 2002 and July 2021, re-proofed, with style/syntax improvements, and then laid out afresh with a commentary overview, alongside details and images of contemporary events. These include astro-cycle-related commentaries on the development and consequences of the Iraq War, the Arab Spring and its aftermath, ongoing economic crises and the radical changes indicated to resolve them, the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, elections and leadership – especially in the United Kingdom and the United States of America, Brexit, Covid-19 and more. It concludes by describing the likely timing and nature of any recovery. All is assessed in the context of many hundreds, even thousands, of years of predictably repeating astrological cycles.
Read the extracts, alongside the events they refer to. Does astrology offer universal understanding? Decide for yourself whether ’the scientific expertise of the modern mind can be combined with the intelligent soul language of astrology, along with compassion, to form a stable three-legged stool, upon which we can base a much happier future.’

Om författaren
Visiting nearly fifty countries over the past fifty years, The Astrological Association President, Roy Gillett, has studied and written about the way astro-cycles manifest human reactions, social trends and events. Since 1978, his commitment to Tibetan Buddhism has ensured these astro-insights are gentled with liberating compassion that clarifies all actions. The happy-life solutions this enables shine through these extracts from his ’Working with the Planets’ column, written 2002-21.
