The Light of Venus unlocks the ancient art of delineating observable planetary events and grounds them in contemporary, forward-leaning understandings. "Adam Gainsburg's work is an alchemy of intelligence and imagination that opens a brilliant pathway to take astrology from a cerebral, psychological study, more deeply into the full art of being human. As an astrologer, discovering Adam Gainsburg's work was a bit like discovering a new wing in my well-loved house. I believe he has created a new mythology of Venus." - Mary Plumb, Book Editor, The Mountain Astrologer "Adam Gainsburg listened to the sky and the sky did something it very rarely does: it revealed to him a new secret. Read "The Light of Venus" and you will know the secret too." - Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky "The Light of Venus explores in great detail the phases occurring in the cycle of Venus [and] reveals the importance of seeing each specific placement in the horoscope as embedded in a network of interplanet cycles and holographic connections." - Melanie Reinhart, author of Chiron and the Healing Journey Review: Uncannily accurate, beautifully written and understandable to the layperson - I have read numerous books of spiritual teachings, but nothing about astrology. My friend recommended this book to me as the perfect place to start learning. Truthfully, I was shocked at how accurate a description of my life's journey I read. The way the author described my Venus-Moon phase made me understand in a new and succinct way that my whole life from a young age has been devoted to Surrendering and Discovery over and over and over again - but on a different part of the spiral. Honestly, I'm not sure I really believed that this could be determined by the stars and planets - but now i do! It's extraordinary how all light-filled spiritual and metaphysical teachings and information lead you ultimately to the same soul realizations. This book is very easy for the layperson to read, although for those knowledgeable about astrology I'm sure there is much more depth to be found. There is so much information in this book that I know I'll be coming back to it again and again as I digest it. The author is a beautiful writer - he creates and weaves powerful and memorable images throughout the book. He makes you feel the ancient truths he describes, not just understand them on an intellectual level. This was indeed the perfect book to begin my education about astrology. Review: A deeper understanding - I learned about Adam Gainsburg's book, "The Light of Venus" during a personal reading where he used the Venus cycle. The reading was excellent and my interest was piqued so I got the book right away. I wasn't disappointed. As a long-time student of astrology, it's always a pleasure to discover a technique that's new to me. Adam is a fine writer and explains and defines the Venus phases thoroughly in an easy-to-understand way. In applying them to myself and to my family members, I've found them to be uncannily accurate. Thanks Adam for giving me a deeper understanding of my natal chart and of my life path.

Insightful, mind-opening, and practical
As insightful as it is beautifully written, "Light of Venus" travels to the very roots and heart of astrology by meditating on the visual experience of Venus at the time of one's birth. Venus phases, as shown in Adam Gainsburg's book, provide a wealth of information that augments zodiacal delineations, making them much more personally attuned, more resonating. Whether you are on a personal exploratory journey or a professional astrologer, this book will be an invaluable addition to your library.

Discover Venus's influence in your life as revealed by your place on her path.
Just sat down with this book and discovered how groundbreaking it is. I did not know what to expect and after watching a video of author I knew the book would be rewarding. I have just learned from another astrology book that I am a child of Venus, so I am curious to delve deeper into what that means. In this book I learned I was born into the Fullness of Venus, which is a particular segment of time in Venus's path between the Sun and Earth. As a beginning student of astrology I have much to learn and am pleased I am finding skilled teachers. Thank you Adam.

Excellent reference on Venus and her phases.
A great reference book for understanding the synodic phases of Venus and the characteristics of each phase in the chart. Lots of information, charts, tables. Gainsburg shares a real depth of experience in this book.

Important information and insights. More for the professional astrologer than layperson.
There are sections of the book that are real gems - really insightful and poetic regarding the spiritual qualities of Venus. I feel that the book is geared more toward seasoned astrologers, which I am not.

Great for astrologers of all schools....
This is a fascinating book and should be on the bookshelf of any serious astrologer. There is much more to be revealed about Venus and Adam Gainsburg takes you to that knowledge.

Journey Into SELF Discovery
The "Light of Venus" was recommended to me by my spiritual teacher who is a professional Vedic astrologer. It has since become a valuable reference companion and guide for my life journey in that it has given me in-depth insight into the challenges I am working through. I have a limited knowledge of astrology, however, the information and the manner in which Adam presents it makes it easy for an amateur such as me to understand. I have learned a vast amount of knowledge from the Venus Phases - about myself and about the people I interact with on a personal level. The information in this divine book has helped me to understand the challenges I experience with those closest to me and has guided me to make a huge shift in consciousness. I can honestly say I am feeling more heart centered than ever before. Each time I read this book I am being guided to a deeper understanding and knowingness of who I am. The chapter, "Phases of Venus", has helped me to identify areas in my life where I am meeting or creating resistance. This knowledge gives me the clarity I have been seeking to make choices in alignment with my highest good. As I go through the process of healing my SELF, I am in turn sending healing energy out to the world choosing to become one of many who are embracing the group consciousness of our beautiful planet. I have found a new sense of joy as I am seeing my loved ones through the ever awakening eyes of unconditional love. By understanding the lessons my loved ones have chosen I have greater clarity about my own. I highly recommend Adam's book, "The Light of Venus" to anyone who is seeking an awakened relationship with their Divines Feminine.

VENUS RULES
I have studied Astrology formally and informally for many years and become fascinated by the poetic and beautiful cycles of Venus. As a Sun Taurean, Venus is a high calling planet for me and so when I came across Adam's new book I decided to buy it. I had already bought his book on Chiron which I had enjoyed for its very heart centred approach. 'The Light of Venus' is an extremely thoroughly researched book - one for the bookshelf of those with a deeper understanding of Astrology. It has opened up for me new pathways of self understanding in relationship to Love, my Life Path and my creativity. I highly recommend this book - it is a 'heavyweight' with a light touch within the Astrology field.

Très complet
En astrologie on oublie de regarder la position des étoiles dans le ciel la nuit. On regarde des cartes produites par ordinateur. Pourtant les anciens astrologues savaient l'importance que cela avait. Il est temps de reconnecter avec cette sagesse et notre belle Vénus est la planète parfaite pour suivre ces cycles.
