Heaven Knows What

You will find a lot of delineations in this book: all aspects and sun-moon combinations are reviewed. But Lewi Grant goes further. He modifies his delineations according to other aspects that can be found in the natal chart. A venus-jupiter conjunction in your radix will differ if your chart has a venus-mars trine as well or a venus-mars conjunction. This is just not a textbook about two planets in aspect, but about different planets in aspect. That's the way delineations should be handled: all aspects are to be seen and interpreted as a chain. Only Lewi Grant seems to understand this....

Grant Lewi is probably the greatest astrology author who ever lived. His two best sellers, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were printed in mid-century yet aren't the least bit outdated. They remain two of the best astrology books in existence. In Heaven Knows What, Lewi does a page on every possible Sun-Moon combination, explaining how an Aries with an Aries moon differs from an Aries with a Taurus moon, etc. His readings are obviously built on his personal observations, not just on theories about what the signs are supposed to be like. They are very unique. The back section of the book explains natal aspects (Sun conjunct Mercury, etc.). As for his quick horoscope calculations, I just ignore them. If you want your chart done, get your chart done.In Astrology for the Millions, Lewi goes the more traditional route, explaining the effect of the Sun, Moon and planets in all of the signs. His unique style shines through, and he is right on target, which is why he is the best there ever was. If all astrologers were as good as Grant Lewi was, the field of astrology would be a respected field instead of being considered by most as a pseudo-science.

The steps in the book are straight forward and extremely easy to follow. You can start doing a horoscope almost right away, and you don't need to know anything about horoscopes to do it. The resulting horoscopes from this book tend to be in detail and accurate. Horoscopes out of a newspaper are no comparison to what you'll come up with. The process of creating a horoscope with this book takes a minimal amount of time. I recommend this book for anybody interested in horoscopes.

Grant Lewi Taught at Princeton. This was a brilliant man who devoted his life to finding the essential truths of astrology - in a time of great antipathy towards the practice. As a professional astrologer, I HIGHLY recommend this book for personal growth. I use it with every chart reading I do.

The hard part of astrology is synthesizing the parts into an interpretation that fits the person. You can endlessly look up what the sun means in various signs, versus what the moon means in various signs, and try to combine the readings. Until you see Grant Lewi's interpretations of every possible sun-moon combination, you can never really be sure you know what you are doing. This book, in conjunction with Lewi's "Astrology for the Millions," should be the basis of any astrologer's education. "Heaven Knows What" covers planets in aspect; "Astrology for the Millions" covers planets in signs.
