A much-needed guide to working with and interpreting "reversals" (those cards that are upside down during a tarot reading) from the author of  The Big Book of Tarot. So much has been written on interpreting the meanings of tarot cards, but, according to Joan Bunning, there is one particular type of meaning that should get more attention—those of tarot reversals. Turned upside down, tarot cards can have an entirely different meaning from their upright interpretations. Sadly, tarot reversals are often misunderstood. Some people think a reversed tarot card means bad news. Some people think the reversed meaning must be the polar opposite of the upright meaning. And some people ignore them completely, just flipping upright any card that has shown up reversed in a spread. Joan Bunning's approach to reversed cards is based on an appreciation of energies and their cycles. In our world, change is the one constant. A reading shows us forces that are not fixed, but fluid and dynamic. The cards need to reflect this animated spirit if they are to mirror experience faithfully. In Upside Down Tarot , Bunning describes how card orientation is the key to enhancing the energetic quality of a reading. You can enliven and deepen your tarot practice by adding this new dimension to it. To truly reflect reality, a reading must capture life’s movement and change. In this book, Bunning describes how tarot reversals can enhance the dynamic quality of your readings by seeing your cards as energies. You’ll discover how to translate a stationary set of images into a moving picture of time’s flow. It’s hoped that Upside Down Tarot will give you a new way to view your life experience and a more powerful tool for understanding it through the tarot.  The material in this book is drawn from Joan Bunning's  Learning Tarot Reversals  (Weiser Books, 2003).

The first comprehensive book of its kind covering every planetary return—from the sun to Pluto. Written for both astrologers and astrology enthusiasts alike.   In astrology, a planetary return refers to the moment when a planet returns to the same position in the sky as it was at the time of a person’s birth. Take the Saturn return, for instance. It’s a pivotal time of maturity. While there are a few books on Saturn returns, they tend to focus solely on the first return at age twenty-eight. This is a disservice, as most of us will live well beyond fifty-seven or even into our eighties when we experience the second and third returns, respectively. The Book of Astrological Your Complete Guide to Every Life Cycle from the Sun to Pluto fills the gaps, empowering the reader with knowledge to navigate these crucial life stages. It is the first book to comprehensively cover every planetary return—solar, lunar, Saturn, and more.   Because people will experience many planetary returns in a lifetime, understanding these returns is crucial for the professional astrologer who is reading for a client. Doing a chart reading for a person in their twenties is different from doing a reading for a person in their seventies. The way a returning planet affects you at one age is entirely different from how it will affect you at a later age. All of this insight is beneficial for nonprofessionals as well, as anyone interested in their chart will gain greater insight into their life by discovering how a birth chart is a living thing that matures and ages along with you.   While most of the returns focus on the individual chart, the outer planetary returns—which are so far away that they have much longer cycles—have profound implications for civilizations, cities, and countries (for example, the United States finished its first Pluto return, a 248-year cycle, which saw events rotating from the Revolutionary War to the well-known political uprising in January 2021). Having this unique perspective allows us to look back at history and contemplate the future.The Book of Astrological Your Complete Guide to Every Life Cycle from the Sun to Pluto is the manual every astrologer and astrology enthusiast needs. No more searching through multiple books to get the info—it’s all in one place.

From the bestselling author of Blood, Sweat, and Pixels comes the next definitive, behind-the-scenes account of the video game how some of the past decade's most renowned studios fell apart—and the stories, both triumphant and tragic, of what happened next.Jason Schreier's groundbreaking reporting has earned him a place among the preeminent investigative journalists covering the world of video games. In his eagerly anticipated, deeply researched new book, Schreier trains his investigative eye on the volatility of the video game industry and the resilience of the people who work in it.The business of videogames is both a prestige industry and an opaque one. Based on dozens of first-hand interviews that cover the development of landmark games—Bioshock Infinite, Epic Mickey, Dead Space, and more—on to the shocking closures of the studios that made them, Press Reset tells the stories of how real people are affected by game studio shutdowns, and how they recover, move on, or escape the industry entirely.Schreier's insider interviews cover hostile takeovers, abusive bosses, corporate drama, bounced checks, and that one time the Boston Red Sox's Curt Schilling decided he was going to lead a game studio that would take out World of Warcraft. Along the way, he asks pressing questions about why, when the video game industry is more successful than ever, it's become so hard to make a stable living making video games—and whether the business of making games can change before it's too late.
