Editorial Review:Book Description:What does astrology have to do with Apple computers, Harry Potter, Bob Dylan, and American Idol? According to Philip Brown, trends in technology, film, books, TV, music, and fashion are all influenced by planetary movement. Cosmic Trends discusses the startling impact Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus have had-and continue to have-on our evolving culture. Tracing the outer planets as they travel through the zodiac signs, Brown uncovers amazing cosmic patterns and their link to the sexual revolution, the rise in health awareness, Internet addiction, wireless technology, advertising saturation, and other cultural trends. He offers exercises that help readers develop "intuitive awareness" in drawing their own connections between the planets and world events. Profiles of William Shakespeare, Clara Barton, Martha Graham, Nelson Mandela and others illustrate how planetary forces have touched their lives and their generations. Fascinating forecasts and a glimpse of what to expect in 2020 are also included.

A bonus was the excellent, uncluttered language, resonating with original and often poetic insights. I understand he is an English teacher. ...

I would highly recommend this book to anyone, including those who know little about astrology. It's original and written in a way that is easy to understand. I have read quite a few astrology books and feel I understand a lot of what astrology is about. Yet this book helped to open my eyes to a new perspective on our world using astrology, especially the outer planets. The writer knows a lot about astrology, but has tried to make it accessible to everyone. It is an outstanding astrology book!

Cosmic Trends is one of the best books I have read on how the planets influence us collectively. It's an astrology book, but it goes beyond the usual astrology. It's clearly written and really connects the outer planets to cultural trends in fascinating ways. I had to re-read the author's discussion of the astrology of the sixties--not because I didn't understand it, but because it was so interesting. He discusses the Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, and Janis Joplin in fresh ways that have a slightly mystical ...
