Eleanor Bach was an astrologer, and this 1973 volume is her own tables of daily positions for the four largest asteroids, Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta, across the twentieth century. Its significance is documented rather than claimed: it is widely credited within astrological literature as the publication that made the asteroids practically usable in chart work, effectively starting asteroid astrology as a distinct practice. Its limit is that it is a data table compiled for practitioners, not an argument for why the asteroids should carry astrological meaning at all, so a claim about their interpretive significance needs a separate astrological or historical source, and any claim about astronomical accuracy should be checked against a modern ephemeris rather than this decades old edition.
