Tempe, AZ: Modern Astrology 2001. 223pp 20 pp refs $15.95

Gibson reports ecliptic and declinational signs that occur in higher frequencies in the charts of 31 psychics and healers compared to 30 controls whom he studied. Those who are immersed in astrology will find this book most interesting.

Those who require more rigorous studies are likely to be critical of this work. While the apparent magnitude of differences in occurrence of particular signs between the groups appears substantial, no statistical analyses were used, so there is no way to know whether these differences were significant. No description is provided of the controls.

Discussions of psychic and healing abilities are very superficial. No mention is made of the research of Michel Gauquelin, suggesting that caesarian births diminish or cancel the significance of a birth chart in predicting success in one's chosen profession; nor of Hans Eysenck's confirmation of Gauquelin's findings. References terminate before names beginning with "N."
