My third book of 2026 is now available: the Fourth Edition of “Transits and Solar Returns.”
The Fourth Edition of “Transits and Solar Returns” is published six years after the previous one and adds approximately eighty pages.
I felt it was necessary, first of all, to resolve a small technical issue that had obscured a few lines of the text, and secondly because I felt it was right to be at least a little more indulgent with myself, avoiding forcing readers to decipher several pages of notes printed in a truly tiny typeface.
I have also decided to add a new afterword containing three topics that I consider fundamental to a book of this kind:
· The chapter that explains how to read the stars on the cusps—both natal and Solar Returns and Lunar Returns—between two Houses, but also at the four corners of the sky, differentiating their interpretation from the Gauquelin zones.
The reasons why we should consider Solar Returns and Lunar Returns much more powerful than Transits.
Starting from the assumption that every good astrologer should be able to calculate and hand-draw the graphs of a Natal Chart, a Solar Return, and a Lunar Return, I went further, arguing for a thesis I’ve always tried to advance: to truly master these topics, one should attempt to design a Solar Return directly in one’s mind, without even resorting to ephemerides, and then “aim” it, always using only the brain and not the computer, imagining the different celestial maps as the geographic longitude varies. To this end, I have reproduced in full the text of a lecture I gave many years ago in Lavagna, in the province of Genoa, during which I publicly demonstrated what I argue in these pages.
