The Success Through the Zodiac Series goes far beyond the Sun signs to provide penetrating & eerily accurate insights into readers' personalities. In addition to an in-depth analysis of the Sun sign, the mean-ings, motivations & characteristic behaviours of the Moon, Mercury & Venus signs are presented in detail, something that has never been done before in popular astrology. This throws light on individuals' emotional needs, distinctive learning styles & relationship patterns which may be quite different from the traits of the Sun sign. Often light-hearted but never lightweight, the lucid & entertaining style of writing makes the profound wisdom of astrology, psychology & spirituality readily accessible to the popular market with-out compromising meaning or depth. Individual books for each sign of the zodiac help readers to understand & make sense of their sometimes confusing & often conflicting character traits as well as helping them to accept & appreci-ate themselves better. The darker, more difficult, & often disliked, parts of the personality are seen not as shameful, but as life challenges & essential material for the business of living wisely & well. ...

Everyone has heard stories of King George, but few know about his brother-in-law, Christian VII, the King of Denmark at the end of the eighteenth century. When Christian VII, young, mad & highly impressionable, assumes the Danish throne, many seek to control the new king, capitalising on his mental frailty to advance their own interests. Two men stand out: Struensee, the reform-oriented court physician & Guldberg, the cold-blooded religious fanatic. As the clash between these two men & all they represent
- science & religion; ideology & diplomacy; the temptations of the flesh & the certainties of dogma
- escalates, the fate of an entire nation hangs in the balance. Enquist brilliantly recasts a dramatic era of Danish history, weaving a wide range of historical characters
- Voltaire & Diderot, Catherine the Great & George III
- into a tale of ruthless political ambition & personal betrayal.
