For STUDENTS OF ASTROLOGY who wish to explore delineation techniques of Business Astrology, Georgia Stathis presents some observations of 20+ years working with clients.

        BOOK REVIEW BY BILL MERIDIAN: Many times over the last 20 years, people have asked me where to find a basic book to introduce them to the application of astrology to business. I can now recommend "Business Astrology 101" by Georgia Stathis. Georgia explains how astrology can be utilized on many different levels. Business Astrology 101 begins by explaining the basics that the newcomer needs to know such as elements, qualities, solstice points, rulerships, houses and synodic cycles. The last subject is of particular interest in determining longer-term trends. The third section of the book will be of great interest to both the beginner and the experienced astrologer: techniques and strategies. Planning is related to the lunar cycle, and Jupiter and Saturn are related to the career cycle. There is a chapter about reading the horoscope of incorporation, a much-needed addition to the body of knowledge. The case studies are very interesting, such as that of Johnson & Johnson and the Tylenol crisis. Another chapter deals with the real estate cycle and the process of the real estate transaction. Many of the lessons are illustrated in two case studies of two careers. In the appendices, there are worksheets for vocation, corporations, real estate, and annual planning. There is also a business questionnaire to aid the astrologer in focusing on the client's needs and in gathering data.

         The book is very well-written in an easy and alluring style. I found myself gliding effortlessly from page to page. The advice is extraordinary in the sense that it is both practical and still taps into the author's depth in mythology and psychology. Georgia opens up by connecting the fear of growth to Saturn and to Maslow's need hierarchy. Chapter 5 relates the mythological signatures of the planets to the roles that they play in the business world. My feeling when I reached the last page - it was not long enough. I was left with the feeling that Georgia has a lot more to teach us. So we look forward to her next book.

TRADING IN THE ZONE By Mark Douglas
How to Create a State of Mind That Eliminates the Fear, Stress, & Anxiety From Your Trading

It is not often that I can confidently recommend a book.  "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas is the exception.  The subtitle sums up the essence of the book.  Some of you may know that after 22 years in the markets I am fully aware of the fact that trading of stocks and commodities is not only a technical but also a mental exercise.  This book addresses the psychological attitude that is an absolute must to become a competent and consistent trader.  Mark Douglas' previous best seller "The Disciplined Trader" established him as a leader in the field of trading psychology.  This book builds on that specialized foundation, taking the trader by the hand through 7 chapters.  From the basic explanation of why we do what we do to defining the problems and finally showing what action you need to take in order to set you on the path to confident trading at a mental level, this book is a winner.    Final Word:  Reviewed and recommended without reservations by: Robert Krausz, MH.BCHE.
