Review By Margaret Gray
The focus of this book is a detailed exploration of the meaning of the seven
main planetary patterns in charts, originally outlined by Dr Marc Edmund Jones
in 1941. In fact, the author corresponded and conversed with Dr. Jones, whilst
doing his own astrological research. Section One, of this interesting book
introduces the reader to Spherical Astrology and offers an overview of the main
planetary patterns: the Splash, Bundle, Seesaw, Bowl, Bucket, Locomotive, Splay
and Fan patterns. Lance also highlights the importance of `the cutting planet'
and `the trailing planet' as well as the `high focus planets'. The remainder of
this section outlines each pattern in detail, describing behavioral and
emotional tendencies for individuals with each pattern.
In Section two, the author's focus moves onto ways of recognizing the `High
Focus Planet' in the chart, with interpretations for each of the planets when
they are in this placement. Section three offers 100 example charts, outlining
their planetary patterns with the final section of the book focusing in some
detail on the nature of astrological aspects.
This is a thorough book, which clearly explains each pattern in detail, as well
as offering the reader simple, well designed diagrams to aid our understanding.
It is likely to be of interest to all astrologers, although less experienced
astrologers, are more likely to find the section on planets and aspects
particularly helpful. In particular, this book reminds us of a very helpful
visual way, a chart can be engaged with, at first glance.
