When you've been studying astrology for over 25 years like I have, sometimes you think there's just nothing new on the book shelves these days that could excite you. Think again. Thomas Canfield has just released his new book called Yankee Doodle Discord: A Walk with Planet Eris through USA History
Haven't heard there's a new planet in town? Well, Tom is here to tell us there is and it breaks all the rules you thought you knew about interpreting astrological aspects.
Haven't heard there's a new planet in town? Well, Tom is here to tell us there is and it breaks all the rules you thought you knew about interpreting astrological aspects.Yankee Doodle Discord is not like your ordinary astrological cookbook. Tom Canfield uses his immense knowledge of American History to teach the reader what they can expect from aspects involving Eris. He starts with the Revolutionary War to show the influence of Eris in the chart of America and the key players who shaped the birth of a country when Eris was in Capricorn. Fast Forward to see how Eris was at work with Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War and his Assassination, Teddy Roosevelt and the politics at the turn of the century, FDR and the Great Depression, John F Kennedy's assassination up until present day where he talks about Eris' influence during Sept 11 and Hurricane Katrina.
But there's a catch. Eris doesn't act like an ordinary planet.
Do you think you know how to interpret aspects? Trine and Sextile means smooth sailing while Squares and Oppositions mean rough waters, right? Think again. Eris likes to play tricks on you. According to Tom Canfield, "When tracking Eris through USA history, it almost seems as if she were like the dark twin of Forrest Gump, popping up at historical turning points but never being acknowledged for being there. She makes cooperative aspects at battles, attacks, and assassinations, befitting the mythology of Eris turning up whenever there is hysteria, fear and uncertainty." During the difficult aspects, it's more like smooth sailing. Go figure!
Yankee Doodle Discord is one of the first interpretative books involving the newly discovered planet Eris (Discovered October 21, 2003) and it comes from a writer who uses his passion for history combined with his depth of knowledge about astrology to help us understand the energetic influence of slow moving Eris.
Tom's pioneering book gets four stars from us. The book teaches us something new. It makes us think differently about our methodology for interpreting astrological aspects, and it's an interesting read. We think this book is Must Read for Intermediate and Advanced students of astrology.

Tom's writing in Yankee Doodle Discord is crisp while he's grabbing the reader's attention with his sometimes humorous story telling. The events in Tom's fact packed chapters are well researched as evidenced by an extensive Bibliography.
