Humanus Astrologicus - Astrological reasons in rhyme why we do what we do

Humanus Astrologicus is a reader friendly jargon free astrology book. Through Deborah Smith Parker’s insightful prose and clever verse this book goes where no astrologer has gone before and easily takes the reader along on its entertaining and insightful ride through Sun signs and beyond. Unlike many astrology books it has richness for both the person clueless about astrology as well as the seasoned professional. Tables in the book make it easy to identify which signs of the zodiac your planets are in. All you need is the birth date—and this book.

Parker ignites self-explorers through astrological accuracies tailored to 21st century readers. Humanus Astrologicus transcends common astrological interpretations through fresh observations that originate from her study and practice of astrology for more than three decades. The poetry aspect of the book came from growing up bi-lingual, fluent in both prose and poetry, learning from her father at an early age to write clever verse.

Humanus Astrologicus helps you understand how you and others relate to life. For instance, are partners or lovers each thinking the other’s energy level cries out for a medical checkup and even medication? Or is it just the natural energy patterns of Mars since Mars rules energy. Following are brief excerpts in the case of two people, one with Mars in Aries and the other with Mars in Pisces

Mars in Aries:
All this energy they’ve got
Can discharge like a rifle shot.
You’ll hear them say, “I’ll slow down now.”
The truth is, though, they don’t know how.

Mars in Pisces
Lots of action makes them wilt.
Strong emotions give them guilt.
Often they’ll just let things go,
Easier to ride the flow.
