What he found challenged some of his deepest assumptions and confirmed others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly seven in ten alcoholic charts are night charts. The out-of-sect malefic is stronger, not weaker. Mars swings to extremes of dignity and debility. Saturn exalted in Libra appears at rates far exceeding the general population. And some of the signatures he'd sworn were common - Moon in Scorpio, Jupiter in detriment - turned out not to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book bridges two worlds that rarely speak to each other: traditional astrology and the recovery community. Drawing on Hellenistic and Medieval techniques - essential dignities, sect, temperament, profections, firdaria, and transits - it offers a rigorous, data-driven framework for understanding addiction through the natal chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart research monograph, part practical handbook, part recovery memoir, Spirits and Stars includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatistical analysis of 884 alcoholic charts vs. 4,063 general population charts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential dignity and sect analysis for all seven classical planets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiming techniques for identifying crisis points and recovery windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA complete guide to reading sobriety inception charts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe honest corrections where forty years of intuition was wrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with warmth, humor, and the hard-won honesty of someone who couldn't see his own chart until he got sober.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stars incline.
