Editorial Review:
Book Description: Planets in Composite contains an explanation of the composite technique, chapters on casting and reading the horoscope, five case studies illustrating the use and validity of composite charts, plus twelve chapters of delineations. There are delineations for all the planets (including Sun and Moon) in each house and every major aspect (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition). 374 interpretations in all, 300 words each, thumb-indexed for easy reference. And there are 41 delineations of the Moon's nodes as well.

I found this book to be completely useless and utterly confounding. The instructions given in the book read like a mathematical problem on an exam. Hand says that this book is the only one you'll need to cast a composite chart, but he doesn't tell you how to figure out the latitude and longitude of your houses or planets within the charts.
If you're a novice to astrology, steer clear of this book. I was hoping to make a composite chart for my boyfriend for our anniversary using this book, but ... Read More

I found this book to be a fantastic resource for someone such as myself who does not know the technical side of astrological aspects, or how to read the symbols in an astrological chart. When I read: "Composite Moon Trine Composite Jupiter" I didn't have a clue as to what that meant, UNTIL I was able to read what this configuration is all about in the easy-to-understand explanations given in this wonderful book.
As astrological aspects in composite charts are important when entering into any ... Read More

Robert Hand wrote this book back in the 1970s. At that time, composite charts were new to America and to most of the Western world. Although John Townley is the person who is actually credited with bringing the technique to our shores, both Townley and Hand (who have also written the introductions for each other's groundbreaking texts) have pretty much structured the foundation of our contemporary knowledge on the subject. But there are differences to be noted in Hand and Townley's approach.

I was a bit dissappointed to find that most of the information given regarding the composite planets in houses, and aspects I have already found for free on a certain website. Word for word! I had expectations of deeper meanings and explainations, I'm glad I bought a used copy. Considering it was written in 1975, this is basic cookbook style astrology, without much emphasis on soul growth or the "why" we get into certain relationships. Not completly unworthy of checking out though.

With the exception of Marc Robertson, Robert Hand is the finest Astrologer I've had the privilege to read so far. He uses common sense compiled with the knowledge of Eastern/Western beliefs. His mid-point work and analysis is not only down to earth but very accurate. He includes variables, too, that are exciting to research on your own. His work is something you don't want to put down because you are bored or not getting any satisfaction. When people ask how I understand so much, I tell them. I've ... Read More
