Stephen Arroyo

The karmic ideal as understood through astrology, discussing karmic relationships by analyzing synastry and progressions, with a special chapter on Ascendant and Midheaven axes. Not just a cookbook of chart interpretation, Arroyo challenges readers to see the birthchart as a tool to guide their lives.

The Inner Dimensions of the Birth Chart

Astrology, Karma & Transformation

Maxime van der Wal

An interesting book on the importance of the outer planets and their relation to karma. Arroyo excels at explaining abstract concepts such as karma in a way that’s understandable to everyone, though it did take me some time to get used to his rather formal writing style. I found the chapters on Saturn transits and aspects to the outer planets particularly insightful. There are few astrology books that put this much emphasis on the outer planets and are able to explain their energies in a refreshing way, and I appreciate Arroyo’s insights very much. However, Arroyo is an avid user of the Astrological Alphabet - an oversimplified concept of the astrological houses in attempt to make astrology more accessible - and this affects his credibility. I also didn’t think the chapter on Edgar Cayce’s readings added much. All in all though, this is a must-have if you want to learn more about the outer planets and are open to a more spiritual outlook on astrology.
