Learn about the compelling, albeit mysterious, world of astrology in this quasi-autobiographical work in which the author addresses an observation made by an astrologer many years ago, that he had all of the Writer's Destiny Marks except one—contact with publishers. You'll learn why in this delightful tongue-in-cheek text, a combination of Socratic dialogue and Seinfeld episode, in which the author talks with two of his "students," the Gemini twins Castor and Pollux, and an errant astrologer or two, to find out more about his unfortunate astrological prognostication.

Cleverly using qualities of his own Sun sign of Gemini as a narrative tool, W. Nikola-Lisa presents complex astrological material in a fun, engaging format. Beyond simply academic or entertaining, the material he presents is fundamental to understanding the very astronomical, geological, philosophical, and historical concepts that undergird astrology. Brian Allemana, Founder of Soulrise Astrology, Asheville, NC (9/7/2021)
What makes this astrology book important is the premise of "the Teacher and the Student." It attempts to share and discuss broad and subtle topics of wide reaching concepts. The author gives us a way to begin a dialogue on the esoteric, literary, philosophical, and related scientific background of astrology, especially the underpinnings of its theories. Bonnie Hartenstein, Holistic Healer, Sedona, AZ (9/9/2021)
W. Nikola-Lisa has managed the impossible: finding a fun and engaging way to root the fundamentals of astrology into an interesting narrative. Understanding the underpinnings of the astrological system is challenging, but the author's metaphors create clear images of astrology in motion that anyone can understand. Sarah Pickett, Astrologer, Chicago,IL (9/21/2021)

Readers new to the topic will appreciate the exploration grounded in the history and mechanics of astrological systems while those already familiar with the subject will find it extremely informative. Prairies Book Review (10/21/2021)
This book is just as creative as it is knowledgeable. Initially, I wondered how reading about someone else's astrological chart would be all that interesting, but as I read this book, I learned a lot more about astrology than I ever knew. Reader Views (10/5/2021)
