"One of the monumental errors among astrologers down the course of centuries has been to pay no attention to the general pattern of planets in the chart, and to persist in believing that planets can be in contact or interaction only by means of the five so-called major aspects. It is this double heresy, both astrological and astronomical that explains many of the errors in interpretation and prediction. Let us be thankful to Volguine who has at last unearthed one of the fundamental keys of esoteric astrology and demonstrated its importance."

-Michele Bustros, translator of the French astrologer Volguine. The "fundamental keys of esoteric astrology" which Bustros is referring to are Planetary Containments.

The authors, John Sandbach and Ronn Ballard, are well-known  for their collaboration on any aspects of astrological, occult, and tarot subjects, including their work on THE GOLDEN CYCLE: A TEXT ON THE TAROT. Sandbach especially has been a prolific writer, having authored DWADASHAMSAS: DEGREE ANALYSIS AND DEEPER MEANINGS, and THE MYSTERIES OF COLOR, as well as numerous articles for occult and astrological magazines across the country. He is highly regarded in the astrological community for his innovative approaches and depth of interpretations.

In this work, PLANETARY CONTAINMENTS, the authors have reached a new height in their astrological, literary potential. Destined to become a classic reference book in interpretation, PLANETARY CONTAINMENTS opens up new avenues of exploration and application in the art of horoscope delineation.
