Book Review: Cosmic Trends: Astrology Connects The Dots by Philip Brown - Page 2

Author: ElsaPublished: Nov 19, 2006 at 6:41 pm 1 comment

This is a book of predictions, but with a backbone. Astrology gives the book form and distinguishes it from something a "psychic" might publish with their predictions for the future based on nothing.

And Phil Brown has done something very innovative here in a world where most astrology books are repetitive. The same stuff is repackaged over and over and often inferior to the book that came before. Sorry, but it's true. A copy is never as good as the original, come on! So this is book is an original in a sea of sameness and it's very, very brave.

history channelAstrologers are often (rightly) criticized for calling events after they happen. Well Phil Brown has some ideas what Pluto's transit through Capricorn (2008-2024) will bring and he's telling us ahead of time. And he's not being woo woo and vague about it, either. He speaks in plain language.

Some of the stuff I agree with, some of it, I have no idea. But all of it is interesting and that's what counts the most. The man knows his subject, I'll tell you that. And he's got a style of writing that has you feeling like you are watching something on TV. Do you ever watch the History Channel?

You know how the History Channel takes some event or person in history and profiles it? They make the subject very accessible and interesting to non-history buffs and this is what Philip Brown does with his subject. He succeeds in making astrology feel real to the novice. So if you want to know what is going to happen, why and what it means, check out Cosmic Trends. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Great work, Phil. Congratulations.
