Disappointing and Unimaginative.......2004-09-26
Having worked extensively with Liz Greene on the Psychological Astrology series, one might expect Howard Sasportas to have given us an equally compelling study of the transpersonal planets here. Right? Well--No. Sasportas' prose is tedious, uninformative and unimaginative and has what I find to be a strongly materialistic bias. Perhaps its a case of complementarity, with Sasportas playing the dry Freud to Jung's lushness, but there is no mythic imagination or Jungian amplification of symbols here. I finally sold this book, my further searches leading me to far better studies, including R. Tarnas "Prometheus the Awakener" (a superb post-Jungian amplification of Uranus), Liz Greene's own masterpiece, "Astrological Neptune" and her "Outer Planets and Their Cycles" (the latter still excellent after all these years). Jeff Green's work, "Pluto: Evolutionary Journey of the Soul" is also highly regarded. But don't buy this one unless you're looking for a literalist, quasi-Freudian view of psychology with no symbolic interpretations, no amplification and little real psychology.
Brilliant.......2004-01-21
The BEST book on the transits of the outer planets - by far. Indispensable for any astrologer - beginner to expert.
Particularly useful if used in conjunction with a graphic ephemeris as done by WinStar - the astrology program. You can do a 50 year graph of the outer planet movements seeing all activations of 45 degree aspects at a glance. See what happened in the past to predict pretty accurately what will happen in the future - after all time is just a construct!
Don't miss this one!.......2002-12-02
I have gone through 4 or five of the Natal Horoscopes of friends and relatives while consulting this book.. of course, centering on utilizing -and checking it's accuracy and usefulness- via my own Natal chart.
Personal revelations can be -and are- hard won. Anything that encompassess the Natal Chart concerning the Outer planets can be from original spaces, early trauma, overall unconcious behavior and trends, and deep early learning and leanings. The colors of your life, basically. What and where you come from...and move to. Does your direction and the understanding of that -in depth, aid you or harm you? Unconcious behaviour in overall drive..can only lead to harm within one's self and others..as....there is no one at the wheel.
That is not a good thing. One must mind the steering, otherwise one wanders off course; and it's hard to pull out of the ditch. of course..one must be in the ditch.. before they realize they were not paying attention to who, or what was driving! The planets form the road; the shape direction and lean to it...and it is up to you to pay attention to where things are directed to. Just like the song said:" Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel".
It's too bad the learnings of youth teach one nothing of such behaviour..but then again, how can one learn if they never fall off the road? The more times you fall of the road, and get back on..the more you learn to not to do it again. (I've worked hard {seriously!} at becoming an expert at that) I think I can stop hammering myself now...
Of course, finding such a book helps one find inroads to understanding one's own particular flavour of reptitious self- damage. I explained this once to a friend, I used it as a way of expressing to them, hopefully..a way in which they could begin to see how to deal with finding a way into their own depths. Each case is different:
~~~
" One way to look at some aspects of life is: We all have these glass walls we look out from behind, that restrict and control our movement and direction. We usually cannot see the edges or shape or position of these glass walls we live within -they are too huge and too close to us. They are utterly transparent to the one who is contained by them...we cannot even find the edges! Although... we can see those walls within/upon others, and in that moment of interaction...catch a glimpse of the reflection of our own. Tell me what you see in me..."
~~~
Sometimes I hammer people into anger, and get them to actually open their minds. (last resort!) They get angry and blurt something out... and are then mollified and confused, as I sit there and smile...and thank them for having an opinion or viewpoint...because without it, and moments left unspoken, we would get nowhere in life. I want to give them a big hug when they get angry...there...it finally came out..I'm happy now! The 'Moment Of Change' begins...at last!
The basic patterns of our lives that we keep repeating...(wheels within wheels) and when the next or current crisis may come from. Standing to the side for a moment..and learing to look up and down the road...for once. Seeing those patterns of behaviour erupt and repeat within the lives of loved ones, friends and associates. Witnessing the layers of the activity and motions within their existence. Like John Lennon said: " I'm just sittin' here watching the wheels go round and round..I really love to watch them roll...."
This book allows one to gain egress into the understanding of what the outer planetary motion means in the course of one's life..and in early life Natal Chart considerations. It can, and will create many poignant (eureka!), and quite likely difficult moments within the self, and bring one closer to being clear on where (and when!) they come from, and are going to. 'Suffering is the short road to spirt', they say.
The house positions for each planet, in transit (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are fully and clearly covered. The Transits formed with all planets from Sun to Pluto are covered for each of the three. The psychology and origins (mythological-base truth) of each of the influences of the three Outer Planets are very neatly and nicely covered in a very complete way. There is little left to be misunderstood, or questioned afterwards. What this means is, that it is well stated by the Author what he feels the situations involving (and surrounding) these planets is -and can be.
There is little for you to be lost in, as for questing for an answer that cannot be found. Relatively speaking, the directions for you to find that place within yourself to find -and deal- with your own crisis, is defly and fully laid out. The book will enable you to find answers..which is what the book is all about..and thus, makes the book worth it's weight in gold. Things become clear enough, that you will be able to transpose that to understanding as to what may be occuring for other people, which many here are interested in doing. Ie, Astrologers; budding or otherwise.
Inluded, is a list of suggested further reading, which contains the names of associated texts to chase after and absorb, which can lead to further understanding in areas where one may be stymied within themselves, or to extrapolate that understanding..once again, in the serivce and care of others.
Definitlely worth buying, and is a "Must Have' for anyone dealing with the subject of Astrology. Hard for a person new to Astrology (like me!) to state such, but I believe that this statement will hold true in anyone's analysis of this text.
Great accessible psychological guide to major transits.......2002-03-21
The late Howard Sasportas packed a huge amount of high quality astrological and psychological information into this intelligent, clear and accessible book. It has been one of my constant companions over the last 10 years or so, both in my work as a professional astrologer and in following my own transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
The first section, "The Collaboration with the Inevitable", is an excellent summary of how astrology can be used as a tool for understanding ongoing personal transformation, helping to turn perceived crises into opportunities. Sasportas then moves on to look in great detail and depth at the transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to each planet in the natal chart. A very large number of case histories are dotted throughout the transit interpretations, with a wide range of examples of how each planetary combination can show up in daily life. These possible events are considered in the context of the psychological development of the individual, Sasportas drawing on his extensive knowledge of many fields of psychology, mythology and spirituality.
Much of the astrological material here is similar to other classic transit books such as those by Robert Hand, Betty Lundsted or Stephen Arroyo (who Sasportas acknowledges), but Sasportas has masterfully integrated a huge number of additional psychological and spiritual insights from many sources. The Gods Of Change is a wise and compassionate conribution to modern astrology.
One of our brilliant humanstic astrologers.......2002-02-26
I think we were robbed when Howard passed some years ago, he was a brilliant, self aware and humble astrologer who had a message and got it out to those who loved his work. He is sadly missed. This is the best book on transits out there in my opinion as it takes in the whole not just the day to day things that many transit books take into account. The inner workings of transits from the outer planets. I love this book.

Makes a 13 year old laugh.......2007-03-16
Zombie Butts From Uranus by Andy Griffiths is actually a suprisingly good read... Unless you consider yourself mature and old enough to not laugh at fart jokes. I'm considered mature by various people, and yet I still find myself laughing my head off while reading this book. And I also suggest reading The Day My Butt Went Psycho!, also by Andy Griffiths first.
The book is about a kid named Zack Freeman who is trouble by a very, VERY, rude butt. Zack is a good-willed but clusmy sort of kid who strives to be a butt hunter like all of his heros. Already widely considered a great butt hunter because of his heroic efforts in the first book, he finds himself failing at a Butt Hunters Training Academy and ultimately quits because he is tired of failing. But unbeknonwst to him, his parents (who frequently are on "tours" with an "orchestra") are butt hunters on a mission to Uranus when thousands of dead butts are reanimated bye an enormous explosion on the planet. Then the zombie butts go and attack Earth and yadda yadda... I don't want to ruin the ending.
Zombie Butts From Uranus is a book that one should read more than once. Just like if you watch a movie multiple times in a brief period, you begin to notice all of the little things that don't seem that important, but provide a few extra laughs. And one thing that you have to do is read the covers and warning on the inside cover page. But this should deffiantly be a read for any young kid who wants to laugh.
LIKED IT!!.......2006-09-06
Not as good as the first book, but this book was pretty funny and had more characters than the first. Even though it was pretty good, I think the first book, The Day My Butt Went Psycho is the best book, the funniest and the one to buy first. But after you read that, I recomend you to read this book. Next summer I hope to read the new serie book called, Butt Wars and see how it is.
p.s
This book is not for adults!!!!
A Tom-Girl/ Guy Kind of Book.......2006-04-21
This books like the other said has "gross" stuff like butts. Zack is back again as he come back to ??? butts from Uranus.
But be warned; Most girls ( not tom girls) wont touch this book with a 10 ft fingernail
Calling all reluctant readers!.......2006-03-09
My (...) son is a bright student, but a reluctant reader. It is always difficult finding chapter books he is interested in reading. We purchased the entire (...) series (three in all) and he hasn't put them down since they arrived. Warning to the sensitive: the book are full of "gross" humor, butit is harmless....nothing boys don't talk about already!
A crack up.......2005-12-07
We all know kids like to joke about butts and use doubl3 meanings to say things they usually can't get away with. That is the whole premise of this book, which is a sequel to "The Day My Butt Went Psycho!". Zack and his butt-fighting team protect the earth from rogue butts. A new foul enemy attacks, the Zombie Butts, and their goal is to take over the planet. My son in 4th grade got a big kick out of this and read it cover to cover.
Product Description
A superb organization of research into birth charts and destinies of creative men and women. Behind the guise of Uranus is the revolutionary energy of Prometheus, master of fire.

Rename that planet!.......2007-05-23
Richard Tarnas's PROMETHEUS THE AWAKENER basically says that the planet Uranus should have been named Prometheus and why. Tarnas will get no argument from me. He lays out his case very clearly with lots of good examples. Especially valuable to me was his explanation of the various archetypal meanings of the planets. I would like to memorize the opening chapter and be able to spout it at will when I am trying to explain to people who know nothing about astrology what I mean when I say "Mars," for example. (There are some people who honestly think that I believe the planet Mars is an intelligent force!)
Where I part company with Tarnas is at the very end of the book when he analyzes the recent conjunction of Uranus and Neptune (from roughly 1989 to 2001). I cannot share his optimism. He cites the positive developments, such as the collapse of the repressive Communist regime that controlled Russia and Eastern Europe (he points out that the phrase "velvet revolution" is the perfect description of the Uranus/Neptune combination), but there is a great deal that he seems not to be aware of. I don't think it's any coincidence that the conjunction of Uranus and Neptune occurred at the time of the advent of Political Correctness (wherein one can lose one's job for saying "six foot two is tall for an Asian" and have no recourse under a "zero tolerance" policy), which basically signals the end of the Bill of Rights. Nor does he mention the blatant promulgation of misandry which has been so pervasive that it is now an accepted part of our culture. He only hints at "spin" when he mentions that image overpowers reality. Just as the conjunction reached peak intensity, the O.J. Simpson trial was spun so that it was not really about the defendant's act of murder but about the racism of a police officer. Concurrently, the Clinton impeachment trial was spun so that Clinton's perjury and obstruction of justice (of which he was clearly guilty) was not the issue, but the Conservatives' opposition to sexual misconduct. Perhaps if Tarnas's book had been published a year later he would have seen the destructive influences of the Uranus-Neptune conjunction more clearly. Perhaps he will update the book in the future to address these issues. However, there is the possibility that he may not be allowed to do so. I'd still give the book four stars and would recommend it to any serious astrologer as well as to intelligent non-astrologers who are capable of reading such a book without preconceived notions regarding astrology.
Consciousness Shift.......2007-05-10
The study of astrology suffers from so much superficiality that most people would never even consider it to hold significant universal truths. Despite all the rather banal treatments in the media, there are just too many people who do not realize what a powerful tool it can be in helping us to evolve a more coherent picture of not only ourselves but of the world we live in. In this treatise of the "planet" Uranus, Tarnas begins a serious discussion of the appropriate mythologic archetype that is sadly overlooked by the majority of astrology books out there (Rob Hand, Barbara Hand Clow, and even Liz Greene). No cookbook approach here. A brilliant synthesis from one of our greatest philosophers and a suitable start before broaching the subject matter of his recent opus, Cosmos & Psyche.
Prometheus the awakener: an essay on the archetypal meaning of the planet Uranus.......2006-11-10
Very interesting, statistical and historical essay... a new way of seeing Uranus... and a more accurate too!! I imagine what a conmotion it must have raised at the time when he first put up his new idea of Uranus being Prometheus instead of Urano, the first and never again mencioned god ;-)
Fire of the Divine.......2000-10-08
With his new book Prometheus the Awakener: An Essay on the Archetypal Meaning of the Planet Uranus Richard Tarnas has created a stunning synthesis of archetypal astrology, history, and spiritual psychology. Reading this work one feels graced with expanded horizons, the sudden rediscovery of a conscious universe. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for meaning in their lives or in the world at large.
Tarnas believes that the first seven bodies of the solar system were given archetypally accurate names, reflecting the intuitive consciousness of the ancient Greeks. However, in 1781 when Uranus was discovered, the modern scientific mind had lost its intuitive and subjective faculties and the new planet was given a name derived with conventional logic: Uranus was the next planet out from Saturn and so it was given the name of Saturn's father in Hellenic mythology, just as Saturn lay just beyond Jupiter's orbit and was Jupiter's father. In the essay's thesis, Tarnas describes his realization that the planet Uranus does not correspond with Ouranos after all, but with the rebel figure Prometheus. Ouranos has a distinctly paternal and static character, very different from the qualities of rebellion and innovation observed in individuals with Uranus strongly aspected in their charts. In contrast, Prometheus is known for outwitting and stealing fire from Zeus, and giving that fire--life, culture, and science--to humanity. These and other characteristics of Prometheus fit the nature of Uranus so completely that Tarnas concludes the new planet was misnamed.
The body of the essay consists of an impressive mosaic of cultural figures with the planet Uranus prominent in their natal charts, men and women known for their rebellion against orthodoxy or tradition, display of scientific or artistic genius, and other Uranian-Promethean qualities. Tarnas' unique background--a Jesuit education, Harvard, and then Esalen Institute where he was Director of Programs--has created an unusually rich diversity of perspective.
I was impressed by the discussion on Uranus-Pluto and the Sixties, in which the Uranus-Pluto conjunction of 1960-1972 is convincingly applied to comprehend that unique era. The "rebellion against established structures of all kinds, the intense intellectual adventurousness and restlessness of the era, the radical consciousness transformation, the titanic technological advances into the space age, the general atmosphere of revolution on all fronts" precisely fit what one would expect knowing the astrological natures of Uranus and Pluto.
This correlation is given more credibility by an examination of previous Uranus-Pluto aspects in history--such as the opposition of 1787-1798 which straddled the similarly radical and Promethean decade of the French Revolution, or the conjunction of 1845-1856 (immediately preceding that of 1960-72) which coincided with a wave of revolutions effecting the entire European continent. Similarly presented is the opposition of 1643-1653 (the one that immediately preceded that of the French Revolution) which was the period of England's Puritan Revolution known in its own century as the Great Rebellion--and other examples. The discovery of the Uranus-Pluto cycle with its upsurges of apparently spontaneous revolutionary energy, is an unexpected deciphering of one of history's long-puzzling questions, and he continues with several other major historical cycles.
Tarnas uses examples of both diachronic correlations, in which a sequence of events in one field occurs under successive transits--for example scientific breakthroughs under a series of Jupiter-Uranus conjunctions--as well as synchronic correlations, in which multiple events occur during a single transit. Examples of this type include the wide-ranging events of years such as 1914, 1969, or 1990. In this section is also included a representative comparison between Freud's and Jung's charts, their respective approaches to psychology, the nature of their relationship, and the timing of their historic split.
The essay concludes with a review of the potential effects of the Uranus-Neptune conjunction of the present decade (1985-2001). This combination is associated with periods in which the archetypal-"the mythic, the spiritual, the transcendent, the imaginal, the numinous--is suddenly awakened and liberated in new ways into human consciousness." After reviewing the variety of contemporary manifestations of this transit--both positive and negative--Tarnas cites a series of remarkable historical precedents.
To name several in the 172-year cycle, conjunctions of Uranus and Neptune occurred in 1815-1829 during the age of Romanticism, in the 1470's and 1480's at the heart of the Renaissance, and during the early 1300's wave of mystical fervor that saw Dante's Divine Comedy and the birth of Petrarch. They were conjunct in the 620's and 630's during the birth of Islam, and in 15-35 A.D. during Jesus' ministry, crucifixion, and the conversion of St. Paul. They were also conjunct during the last decade of the fifth century, B.C. and the first decade of the fourth, that saw the most influential teachings of Socrates, and his death in 399 B.C.--the event that initiated the birth of Platonism. Finally, during the only triple conjunction of outer planets in modern times--Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto being conjunct from the 580's to the 560's B.C.--"we find the heart of the great 'axial age' that brought forth so many of the world's principal religious and spiritual traditions: the age of Gautama Buddha in India, of Lao-Tzu in China, of Zoroaster in Persia; the age of the major prophets of ancient Israel, Jeremiah, Ezekial, and Second Isaiah, when the Hebrew Scriptures began to be compiled; the age when the oracle of Delphi was at the height of its influence in ancient Greece; the age of the earliest Greek philosophers, Thales, Anaximander, and Pythagoras.... Thus there is reason to believe that our own experience of Uranus and Neptune in conjunction will not be without its enduring blessings."
Tarnas' intellectual labors and twenty-year collaboration with Stanislav Grof have yielded a luminous overarching vision of psyche, cosmos, and history scarcely imaginable a generation ago. This participatory world view has implications in every discipline and not insubstantial possibilities for personal and planetary healing. This is truly a promising and exciting direction for the mainstream culture, both unexpected and inevitable. The fire of the divine has again come to earth.
Excellent.......2000-03-24
I am a professional consulting astrologer, researcher and astrology teacher, and find this book to be among the finest astrology works in my collection. It takes astrology into the world of transpersonal psychology, history, biography, and archetypal mythology -- and yet it's easy, a breeze to read. Richard's writing is clear, excellent, intellectually sound; this book will get you thinking, and get you understanding how to work with the planet Uranus. I also recommend books on Chiron if you are interested in this area of astrology.
Book Description
Ricky Ricotta loves his Mighty Robot, but sometimes it's hard for a little mouse to have a best friend who's so BIG. One night, Ricky makes a wish: If only his Mighty Robot had another friend who was his own size so he wouldn't have to hang out with Ricky all the time. Little does Ricky know, his wish is about to come true. Evil Uncle Unicorn has traveled all the way from Uranus with a mean and nasty plan. He's built a giant Ladybot to trick the Mighty Robot so he can take over planet Earth. Once again, it's up to Ricky and his pals to save the day.

Two Thumbs Up!.......2002-08-07
A super book that clearly and succinctly explains Uranus transits through the houses and in aspect to all planets. This is a terrific reference for both practicing astrologers and those navigating Uranus transits because Tierney explains the purpose of the transits while offering practical suggestions for navigating them.
Ingenius Insights into Uranus.......2001-01-13
As a professional astrologer, I find Bil's book on Uranus extremely helpful when I want to tune in to the essence of this planet's unpredictable energy. Not only does he give the deeper, psychological manifestations of its transits to planets and houses in the natal chart, he gives real life examples that stimulate my creative interpretations. I find myself laughing with recognition, as he brilliantly weaves his Uranian tales. Bil has a wonderful talent for bringing the planets down to earth in a way we can all relate to and understand with great clarity. There are many astrology books out there on Uranus and the other outer planets; Bil's books are fresh, entertaining and great catalysts for deeper astrological perspectives. His books belong in every astrologer's library!
JUST IN TIME FOR URANUS.......2001-01-08
This is a practical, yet entertaining book that looks at Uranus as it might function for us in everyday terms. That doesn't mean it's superficial in its interpretations of our mundane realities. Mr. Tierney explains astrology in a clear and readable way that even a beginner would understand, yet the more you already know about Uranus, the more you'll probably appreciate the picture he paints of this unusual planet. He has a talent for phrasing things in ways that you don't come across too often in astrology, plus his welcome addition of humor adds to this book's overall enjoyment.
Clear, Insightful Teaching.......2001-01-07
Bil Tierney never fails to make astrology understandable. He breaks concepts down to their basics so that the beginner has a clear, profound understanding of the concepts. Advanced students and practicing professionals add layers of meaning to their work thanks to Bil's work. "Alive and Well with Uranus" turns this "troublesome" planet into something that astrology students can work with effectively. Bil doesn't sugarcoat, but always offers hopeful insights that enrich the subject.
Clarity Personified.......2001-01-07
Bil Tierney is one of the best teachers and writers in astrology. This book continues his excellent work as someone who breaks astrology down to its basics, then puts it back together again with intelligence and clarity. Bil puts his finger on the pulse of Uranus so that the beginner knows where to start, the intermediate student where to grow and the professional how to add depth to her or his work. I highly recommend this book!
