She holds a B.A. Degree in English, Music and Drama, (University of Cape Town, South Africa), and has been a professional astrologer since 1975. She is a prize-winning diploma-holder of the Faculty of Astrological Studies (FAS), of whom she is also a patron; in 2004, she was awarded the prestigious 'Charles Harvey Award', given by the Astrological Association of Great Britian in recognition of 'exceptional service to astrology;'.

    Melanie and has taught for some of the world's leading astrology schools in the UK and abroad, including the FAS, the Centre for Psychological Astrology, the London School of Astrology, Astro*Synthesis (Melbourne, Australia) and many others. She has presented original research material at many conferences, and is a popular speaker at local astrology groups in the UK. She also runs her own programme of workshops and supervision for advanced students.

    Feature articles were written for 'Caduceus' magazine over the last nine years, and her work has also been published in the Journal of the Astrological Association.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A deep and broad vision
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Over the years I've had my chart done a couple times. Now that I`ve read this book I see why I felt those charts were lacking. What you see is determined by how you see and your particular beliefs, assumptions and feelings.

    The way this relates to Sasportas is that I felt in this book I received a fuller vision that had humor, balance, and that took various nuances in consideration as well as a deeper psychological feeling. He also helped me see better the value and lessons of the parts of my chart I was resisting and weren`t as easy for me to like or accept. These challenges are expanded into opportunities in his vision.

    In addition to all this Sasportas is enjoyable to read. He`s an interesting writer whose passion gives his words momentum and life. It seemed so appropriate and timely that I happened on his work now. He`s a broad thinker of ideas and feeling and psychological nuance.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The book that puts everything together
    Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This is the best material I've read about astrological houses so far. One might know the basic meaning of houses, like: 2nd is money, 10th is career etc., but Sasportas really puts it together, explains WHY is it so, why one house is followed by another (what the particular house order is based on), etc. It really helps to see the bigger picture and understand the houses and astrology in general. After reading this book, I started to feel/understand the energy of each house, the essence of each house, what the house is actually about. I like that there are a lot of examples of real people placements, it helps to understand better how does each placement manifest in the house. Anyone who is interested in astrology, will find a lot of valuable information in this book.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This book is pretty helpful when it comes to describing the basics of astrology and the houses. I do wish that it would’ve gone a bit deeper on the esoteric meanings of the houses. But if you use this book in combination with other esoteric resources, you can get a decent understanding of the true meaning of western astrology and natal charts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars COMPLETE BOOK, BEST OF ITS KIND
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Over the past 6 years, i have been fascinated with astroloy. I have bought an increible amount of books searching for clues to understanding my own birth chart.
    Although I don't consider them all a waste of money (most of them anyway), they only gave me very little usable information that still left me puzzled and unclear as to what my natal stars where telling me. Then i found this book... No, this book is not going to give you half mingled understanding to what you are looking at in your chart, it is going to make it very clear and will go into an amazing depth of each house and star position. I found the answers to the deeper meanings of my chart and it has greatly helped me to validate what I intuitively knew about myself and where I was headed. Thank you Howard Sasportas for this amazing work, and may you know where ever you are in the other world, that your work continues to be a guiding light for many of us still in the bounds of this world.
