Wanda Byrne wrote The Poetic Wheel of Life after teaching astrology in the Adult Education classes at Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, IL. She also lectured widely at that time, introducing the northwest suburbs to a resurgence of astrology. Her interest in metaphysics then led her to teaching classes in Pyscho-Cybernetics, the Tarot and Meditation.

PREFACE

The Wheel of Life brings us everything we need to

accomplish our goals. But these accomplishments are not ours

alone, since they are also dependent on the help of others. The

Poetic Wheel of Life would never have been published nor written

for that matter were it not for the angels, earthly and heavenly,

who helped me along the way.

The love and understanding of my husband, Stewart, gave me

the strength to overcome great odds. My children, Juanita and

Stephen, fulfilled my longing to be a mother. Reverend Ralph

Smith, now deceased, became my spiritual mentor. He gave me

the keys I needed to solve many of the aggravating mysteries of my

life. In addition to these dear souls and their help, my life was

completed by a circle of special friends here on earth that i think

of as earth angels.

I was teaching astrology when the idea for the Poetic Wheel

of Life came to me. i saw it as a helpful guide for beginning

students of astrology, a guide that would also stimulate their

interest in the subject by showing how astrology touches every

area of life. Upon completion of the book, the input and

encouragement I received from Amy Bunce and Virginia

Alexander (better known in astrological circles as Gina Knight)

is inestimable. Furthermore, Amy’s insight and artistic talent

led to her ingenious conception of this book cover. I am also

indebted to Shirley Nicholson for her helpful suggestions and

to Carole Kettering for the part she played.

However, in spite of the help I received at that time,

circumstances suddenly changed. I lost heart and pursued other

interests, putting the abandoned manuscript in a drawer. Then,

long after giving up the idea of being published, along came

Dr. Robert H. Knapp. I had read the books he co-authored* and

attended two of his workshops. After the last one, I made an

appointment to see him. I felt strongly in need of guidance and

was sure he could supply it. I brought along a few poems I thought

he could relate to. During the session, after listening to each poem,

he would say, You have to be published. He also gave me several

suggestions on how to do it. At the end of our session, Dr. Knapp

looked at me, as if very determined, saying, "The seeds you planted

long ago are ready to harvest. I’ve said it four times now, you have

to get published."

In a hasty reply I said, OK, OK, I get it. I’ll do it. (Now I

knew why it was important to see him).

Although committed to being published, I wondered how to

pull it all together. My old computer had gone to computer heaven.

There was much re-writing to do. Many things had changed since

the books inception, including me. But Dottie Rathje, another

angel in my circle of friends, came to the rescue big time. With

enthusiasm, she volunteered to prepare the manuscript for

publication on her newly acquired computer! Luck like that must

have meaning, don’t you think?

Whether you are a seasoned astrologer, a beginner, or just

curious about your sun sign and what you can learn about yourself,

there is something for everyone in the Poetic Wheel of Life. May it

be as helpful to you in reading it, as it has been to me in writing it.
