Having a keen interest in astrology I looked forward to reading this book. I enjoyed the content but didn't realise it looked at the nodal axis in birth charts rather than a wider perspective. That's okay to a point but there are other factors that need to be reviewed at the same time. Well researched and some interesting points with regards to quantum physics. Pam obviously knows her stuff and offers insights that would otherwise be forgotten.

Very interesting book. Unfortunately I couldn’t experience it’s full potential because I don’t know my exact bith time, but it was still very interesting, I loved that the author also wrote what may happen in the next years to us, our planet, our society.

I thought there would be more to this book. It ended up using the north and south nodes of ones natal chart to learn to co-create with the universe. I didn't realize this would be using our natal charts, however, I found the information interesting.

I found this book fascinating especially with the ability to download your own Astro chart from the website to read along side the information within the book. Very interesting read.

How To Co-Create Using the Secret Language of the Universe by Pam Gregory is about using astrology to plot the course of your life.
It was very helpful when I started working with mine .Your birth chart can help you find your path. The moon has always been a huge influence in my life and pulls me to it. I was thrilled to see a book simple enough for me to understand and is also for the more experienced astrologer. Using the moon as a light to help with so many things like charging your gemstones or your self . Other planets when worked in conjunction with the moon to balance yourself. Astrology used as it is in this book is one of the most powerful sciences out there.. I loved this book and I see myself using it frequently. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review.

The title is a little misleading in my view, as it is not explicit that this book is looking most specifically at the nodal axis in the birthchart. I would have thought most factors on the birthchart can be instrumental in learning how to co-create using astrology.

Pam Gregory begins by bringing the reader up-to-date on the latest biocentric findings of quantum physics: the fact that a particle can become a wave depending on whether or not we observe it, and have already decided on our minds that it is to be a wave. Furthermore, that meditation can lower the temperature wherever there is fighting around the world and that lab-grown crystals grow more beautifully if beautiful thoughts are directed at us.

Yes! Science has proven that we are indeed co-create of the universe around us and that it is time to use knowledge of our horoscopes to create a better life for ourselves with a little more positive thinking. We will magically get a job and find abundance of we haven't already got it, find the ideal.partner, that quaint cottage by the sea we always wanted, and so on.

I never much cared for this kind of New Age thinking the first time I encountered it. I could for example quote a certain sociological scientific finding along the lines that one tiny bus load owns the riches of more than half the world. I actually do believe that optimism and a positive attitude to make the difference between getting a job and not getting it, and getting that extra break: interviewers can have a way of sniffing out lack of inner confidence. On that basis, I am sure that s little Pollyannaism can work wonders on helping most individuals on being more open to opportunities and therefore improving the quality of your life. However, in a workd where social injustice, inequality and greed remain unchallenged, I would still be less inclined to label those who have fallen to cancer, been mugged for example, as being part to blame because of a so-called victim mentality.

The next part of the book leads into the cook-book portion. The nodal axis is examined first by Sign and then by House, so there is something for all astrology students to dip into as they look at their own charts and then of those closest to them. Pam Gregory is not so crude, as some may, to see South Node purely in terms of 'bad' and North Node as all things 'good': the inherent gifts of the South Node can certainly be used within the North Node context. So, no South Node character assassinations, though she does not the more negative side of these (she also walks the talk by not declaring that 'real' astrology is not 'just' sun signs, whilst promptly evangelising page after page of sun-sign generalisations - but this was never the focus of this book anyway.

Some case studies on how the nodal axis can be seen to work are given - it usually seems to be after midlife that the focus nay turn to the North Node. Gregory compares this factor to the Midheaven as well, which is another pointer to destination ( what being more worldly) and future directions in life. There was, however, less attention to the transitting nodal axis.

There is no lack of new literature on the Moon's nodes, and this synopsis is by no means the worst I have encountered. However we, this factor in the chart is closely linked to an area of life the Vedics and others would claim to be difficult to work through, and therefore, possibly, humbling: karma.

My caveats aside, those seekers who are wishing to use this book to understand either themselves or their nodal axis better, may well find this book useful for these purposes
