Her study, based on a thorough career survey, incorporates insights from the work of Dr. Oskar Adler, along with comments from study participants to pinpoint astrological findings.

I was particularly intrigued by her inclusion of the new (since 2006) planets Eris and Ceres in her interpretations-not many astrologers are using Eris at all yet, and most still treat Ceres as an asteroid. Amy's description of Eris as 'provocateur' is interesting, insightful and well supported within her analyses." -- Maria Kay Simms, Astrologer, Artist, Author Starcrafts Publishing"Besides relationships and health, choice of a career and life direction is commonly one of an astrological client's most pressing issues. Uniquely, Shapiro not only discusses the usual vocational indicators in the horoscope, she also adds unfamiliar but powerful concepts and interpretations from the legendary Dr. Oskar Adler. Plus, she backs up the theory with scores of charts accompanied by feedback in the subjects' own words. This book will give seasoned counselors new and useful insights. Augmented by handy tips, definitions and checklists, it will also set beginners on the road to perfecting this all-important part of their practice."--Patricia White, Vice-President, Astrolabe"Amy Shapiro is a brilliant Astrologer whose writings illumine deep cosmic connections between one's personal passions and professional path.
