Publisher's Synopsis
Addiction to substances such as alcohol, heroin, and prescription painkillers continues to take center stage as a crucial public health concern. In Addiction As Seen through Astrology, author Robert Reis studies the nature of the addictive personality through the eyes of astrology. To accomplish this, he uses a special astrology program known as the astrodyne method to analyze case studies involving the personalities of addicts and nonaddicts. His research of 150 astrological birth charts, including those of both everyday people and celebrities, is designed to examine why certain people go through addiction and others don't. The third in a five-part book series, Addiction As Seen through Astrology: Book Three - the Houses continues with an in-depth look into the symbolism and meaning behind each the twelve different areas or 'Houses' comprising the astrology chart; the various life experiences we're likely to encounter as represented by our 'astrological' environment and what the 'Houses' might reveal in relating to addiction and the addictive personality as this unique astrological approach extends far beyond sun signs and horoscopes. But while this knowledge can provide essential insights, this book isn't meant to be used to cure or diagnose someone with an addictive personality. Rather, it's meant to deepen our understanding of the addictive personality and help us persuade loved ones to get the help they need to recover.
