'Transcendental Nations:
Underaspected Planets in the Birth of Nations'

"This is a sparkling new site by my cyber friend Robert Couteau, whose work in expanding on Astro * Carto* Graphy continues to gobsmack me! Robert's work in this field is inspiring a lot of interest and I have noticed a trend developing where we are looking for practical applications and more 'down to earth' uses for our astrology. This is compatible with Scott Whitters and my own work in the field of local space and garden and architectural design and I urge you to visit Robert's site as it brings new colour to the concept of mundane astrology and the nature of nations."

(Penguin), Nov. 1998 "PanPlanet Newsletter" review.

'Role of the Least-aspected Planet':

“Your material is superb ... Because of my interest in aspects as well as Astro * Carto * Graphy I found your discussion of least-aspected planets very interesting and can validate some of it. Had never looked at this concept in A*C*G before and am excited with what I've found. Will go back to your site often ... I find the triple-zero Transcendentals fascinating...”

"I had a guru with an unaspected Sun. He always thought that it allowed him the maximum freedom of expressing the Sun's meaning and function. Perhaps aspects not only help manifest or express a planet's meaning and function they also limit its scope of action."

and Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Colgate University, 15 Oct 1998.
