Good Deal at the Booksale
Totally scored at a library book sale. Found a book written by Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson called All Over the Earth Astrologically. Sure wish I could have read these books when I was first learning astrology. These books are incredible if you want to really understand astrology and this woman was truly inspired. They are still published and sold here.
(in case of typos: (http://www.astroamerica.com/jacob.html))
Supposedly she typed the information straight into a typewriter without editing and then self-published the books. This book has a chapter on Retrogrades planets which is only 3 pages long but gives all the information you could possibly need about Birth Rx, Progressed Rx, and transiting Rx. I'm so tired of all those 300 page books that say absolutely nothing.
I looked at Goldstein-Jacobson's chart on Astrotheme. She was born during the incredible conjunction of the two outer most planets Neptune and Pluto in conjunction with Mars all in the sign of Gemini which certainly explains the psychic typing skills. This is probably the generation that began to build computers. The conjunction is in the 11th House (nonconformity) and is trining 3d House Saturn which opposes 9th House Mercury. Always amazes me how Mercury-Saturn aspects relate to high intelligence and yet astrologers insist that they show lack of intelligence.
I wonder if anyone has ever indexed all her books so that it is possible to look up everything she wrote on a single subject all at once. Because of her working methods the subjects are scattered throughout the volumes. Either way, I really wish I could have met this woman. She was even living in Southern California where I grew up until she passed away in 1990.
