We need a good book on midpoints and now we have it. By the time you get to page 20 in Don McBroom’s new book, Midpoints: Identify & Integrate Midpoints Into Horoscope Synthesis, you’ll want to have a chat with him because he has an extraordinary command of his subject. It's obvious McBroom has invested many hours in the study of midpoints and if you’re looking for bang for your astrological book buck I don’t think you can go wrong here.

Midpoints is a textbook, make no mistake. Reading this book is akin to attending a specialty class with a competent teacher - a teacher who can make math interesting rather than tedious, which to me is a feat.

McBroom has a dozen ways he accomplishes this. For example, when he points out the imaginative Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Deepak Chopra, John Lennon, Mozart, and more all have their Sun at the midpoint of Mercury and Neptune you’ve no choice but to become involved. Who do you know with Sun=Mercury/Neptune? Don’t you wonder? I did.

The whole book is rich like that. It gets your attention and compels you to consider midpoints from every angle. As a result you are smarter when you put the book down than you were when you picked it up.

Now I don’t know what else you want when you invest in an astrology book but I would go further to say this text belongs in the library of any serious student of this subject. You just have to expose yourself to all of these things - progressions, return charts and the like, and when you’ve got the basics down and are ready for the specialty class, “Midpoints,” this is hands down the book to get.

It’s an excellent job. Congratulations, Don!
