Alan Leo's The Art of Synthesis, L. N. Fowler and Co., 1912, is a primary tradition text within Western astrology, not a scholarly study. Its strength is that it is an early and influential modern treatment of Uranus and Neptune as interpretive bodies, from the writer generally credited with turning Western astrology away from event prediction and toward character description. Its limit is that it is a practitioner's own statement of his own system, useful as evidence of what that specific reading holds, not as an independently tested account of the outer planets' significance.
