ASTRO-EVENT GUIDE by Elizabeth Jones. Starpathways at Mt. Shasta, CA, 96067. www.starpathways.com at 530-926-0423. $9.95.

The Event Guide is a marvel. In one laminated page, Elizabeth has condensed all the core astrological information for one year. This is a work of magic, an invaluable tool for the astrologer and for the novice. One glance can tell you any number of things. For instance,

You want to know the next retrograde Mercury? She gives date, time, and degrees, as well as when Mercury hits its shadow point.

When are the May 2006 Lunations? And at what degrees?

When and where are the 2006 Eclipses?

What and when are the astrological highlights of Aquarius 2006?

And what are the highlights of February 2006?

All of this information, and more, can be instantly accessed. It’s useful always, like an ephemeris is useful. I particularly like it to have at hand when a client calls with spontaneous questions. The reader can get a quick fix on the future.

Collating this essential information has obviously been a labor of love, for it has required enormous dedication and concentration. In addition, Elizabeth has used color, spacing, and varying type to make the Guide attractive and easy to look at and use.

If you want a planetary overview of the year, this is your ticket. The years 2005, 2006, 2007 are currently available.
