Astrological Mavericks

Michael Bartlett is a gifted astrologer who ponders the patterns of highly successful people, and determines that planets on the angles are of supreme importance. He looks at these "maverick" planets and entertains the reader with lively descriptions of how it all works. This book is clearly and sensitively written for all students of astrology, whether beginner or more advanced.

"This thorough and well-researched tome is a welcome, and overdue, addition to the astrological literature. An in-depth exploration of how the planets function at their strongest and most innovative, along the chart angles, "Astrological Mavericks" provides us with real life examples of individuals who have expressed these archetypal energies in exemplary and unique ways. A useful and illuminating resource for those interested in exploring the energetic touch points of the angles, and the planets various relationships with them."

"This book is a gift not only to astrology, but also to the broader fields of consciousness studies and psychology. As a psychiatrist who is steeped in Sri Aurobindo's work on the evolution of consciousness, I especially appreciate Michael Bartlett's study of how the "energy" of planets can influence human personality and behavior. Too many people have been lead astray by the emotional dependency of trying to use astrology for predictive purposes, or the mental escape of astrology's abstruse theory. With this book, Michael Bartlett shows how we are really supposed to use astrology: to understand some of the occult forces that affect human psychology, and to use this knowledge to transform ourselves and the world. Using case studies from real life, including celebrities and cultural luminaries both past and present, he vividly illustrates how the consciousness of planets can affect us in very real and tangible ways. His work is organized, methodical, and succinct-all the marks of someone who really knows his stuff."
