I bought this book because I only had one other book about Solar Returns by the Dutch author Ineke Bergman. I was hoping to get a little more in depth information, and that I did get acquiring Mary Fortier Shea’s book. While I still prefer the ‘short text look-up’ style of Ineke, I liked the expansion on Solar Return mechanics and quadrant emphasis. What I missed in Shea’s book is the applied technique of placing cusps of the Solar Return in the Radix. Ineke’s covers that briefly. I would definitely recommend this book when you’re looking for some recipes for planets in solar return houses and aspects because it does that perfectly.
