0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Thought-provoking and useful readBy Mel FinefrockAs mentioned in the backmatter of my own book: "Addresses the darker side of the Zodiac; a topic which is all too often glossed over in astrological studies."To expound; I like that Reeves managed to keep things simple and straightforward while still personalizing them; as she does in her daily posts on Twitter. This book is a handy read and a good; quick reference guide.
