Reviews
of the Book
"Riveting"
"Stars Over America gives a riveting view of the astrological
destiny of the United States as shaped by Bill Gates, O.J. Simpson
and Oprah Winfrey and their collective impact on work, justice,
women, and society. Edie Thayer has written an educational, erudite,
entertaining, and eerily accurate picture of American culture and
where its' going."
- Michael Lutin
"Succinct"
". . . a fine, friendly piece of work. . . . With Stars Over
America, Edith Thayer packs a whole world of astrology into a very
succinct package. . . she delightfully tricks us into receiving
a serious elementary astrological education while we're busy turning
the pages to find out what will happen next."
- Steven Forrest
"Very
engaging"
"In this artistically designed book, she considers these
major icons of American life and takes them beyond the realm of
personal celebrity (or infamy) by tying them to themes in the U.S.
chart. She is especially interested in the changing belief systems
in American culture and she looks both to the past and to the future
to describe her ideas about America's unique position in the world
. . .
The author
is well read, has traveled extensively, and writes clearly. She
has a very graceful way with the symbols of astrology and a light
touch . . . although it is geared to the novice, it will definitely
be of interest to seasoned astrologers too . . . The design of the
book is spacious, with lots of charts, additional data, and further
resources.
- Mary Plumb, Mountain Astrologer
"Non-Technical,
Friendly, Clear"
"Most books on astrology fall into one of two categories. They
are either books intended for those who have already made a commitment
to learning astrology or they are unabashedly popular books which
aim at entertainment. What is needed is a third category of books
which shows what astrology can really do in a non-technical, friendly,
non-threatening and above all, clear manner. Edith Thayer's Stars
Over America is this type of book. By using contemporary history
and persons as the vehicle, the book makes the relevance of astrology
clear to all who would take the time to read it."
- Rob Hand
. . . A lawyer
and a skeptic, I was totally taken aback by author Edith Thayer
and her engaging and documented walk through the art and science
of astrology. How clever to examine the astrological chart of America
and interface it with the fascinating and revealing charts of American
icons Oprah Winnfrey, Bill Gates, and O.J. Simpson. You're spellbound
by the stories and learning while you go. It galls me to think that
major contours of our destiny were scripted by the time and date
of our birth, but "Stars over America" makes and entertaining
and convincing case to that effect. Had she been a trial attorney,
Thayer would have won. Reagan did. This book is a great read.

"A
New Voice in Astrology"
"Edith Thayer is a new voice in astrology - she does not just
interpret charts or analyze people, she interconnects America's
belief systems and values with the drastic changes made throughout
the world. Thayer feels that the transformations in our society
can be understood by following the stories of certain public figures.
She uses three mega-figures; all three illustrate her point.
· Bill
Gates, the ultimate American entrepreneur and symbol of capitalism.
· O.J. Simpson, whose murder trial obsessed the American
public for over two years.
· Oprah Winfrey, the "high priestess" of talk TV
and the richest as well as most popular woman in America.
"Thayer
has produced a rare mixture - a book that helps the beginning astrologer
to understand how astrology can enlighten the reader and deepen
the personal insights and yet not bore the cognoscenti. This is
an interesting book and well worth owning."
- Marion D. March
