Background: Besides having one of the coolest titles ever, this book delivers a highly readable fusion of the arts of astrology and the Kabbalah. Sasson (coauthor, A Wish Can Change Your Life) makes the case that the two have always been highly integrated systems and does a superb job making both accessible and relevant to each another using metaphor and story. Not your usual this-is-what-this-means interpretation of chart placements (although he includes his own version), Sasson encourages readers to explore the 12 signs of the zodiac and their corresponding Kabbalah Hebrew alphabet and sphere from the Tree of Life; they are to take on the unique characteristics of each sign for a week in order to integrate, resonate with, and navigate their deeper cosmic messages and soul path.— Janet Tapper, Western States Chiropractic Coll., Portland, OR
