Review: Conquer the Universe with Astrology, Book One: Aspects!

I heard calls for reviews of Matthew The Astrologer’s new e-book, Conquer the Universe with Astrology, Book One: Aspects! Being pretty much a newbie to astrology, I answered the call. Not only did I get a great book to review, it’s also written by awesome astrologer, Matthew Currie!
The book begins in a way that immediately grabs the reader. The first page immediately sucked me in, with his wit and humor. Humor and astrology? You don’t see that often (or at least, I don’t), but I was cracking up and found myself really looking forward to the following pages.
One of the first things that Currie discusses is planetary aspects (okay, I’m stating the obvious). I admit, I’m a complete moron when it comes to numbers. I think that the reason I that I haven’t gotten past general astrology knowledge (sun/moon/rising, planets, and houses) is because I despise numbers. I don’t get angles and degrees. I’m just not a numbers kind of gal.
I was absolutely thrilled to read Currie’s explanation on how the angles work. He talks about it in very simple everyday terminology. Anybody that is familiar with clocks and pies could understand this. After reading it, I felt enlightened with my newfound knowledge of angles, degrees, and sign placements.
After he explains how the angles, he gives more detail on conjunctions, trines, squares, oppositions and the minor aspects.
Currie also gives summaries on every possible planetary aspect.
Overall, I found this to be a very awesome and informational book. As a person that has read many astrology books, this book was the only one I’ve read where I came out understanding angles and aspects.
I am really looking forward to Book Two of his Conquer the Universe with Astrology series.
