Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 first in a five-part book series, Addiction As Seen through Astrology: Book One - the Planets offers a primer on astrology that extends far beyond sun signs and horoscopes. Astrology's main purpose is to understand the human personality. Here, he shares compelling astronomical facts about each planet and what influence they have on both astrology and people's personalities. 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.
