A yod is formed when two planets that are in sextile also form inconjuncts to another planet. Karen has been studying yods for many years, and this book is the definitive work on the subject. Also included here is a discussion of how the energies of unaspected planets, and planets in duet (that only aspect each other) are expressed in a person's birth-chart. The book includes case histories of famous people (Clinton and Lewinsky, Charles and Diana etc.) plus those of Karen's own clients.

In her first book the author presents a clear approach to understanding children's charts by an exploration of their Sun, Moon and Ascendant Signs. The book (edited by Robin Heath) includes tables for finding Moon and Ascendant signs, basic information on the planets and elements, along with two example charts. The book is attractively presented, with black & white illustrations. It is an ideal present for anyone with children in their familly, or working with children. Helena Francis is an astrological guidance counsellor with a psychological approach to astrology. She is also the Founder of The Hermes Centre, Surrey.
