SACRAMENTO-A newly-released book by retired legislative staffer, local astrologer, and author Janice A. Stork, portrays the ups and downs, ins and outs and secrets and lies of 32 years of learning, working and surviving life in California's Legislature. Filled with stories that both inspire and titillate, Footprints of the Capitol Astrologer promises an insider's point of view.

The book is both a personal memoir and recitation of historical facts, and tells it all from an astrological perspective. A potent blend of politics and astrology, Footprints covers many prominent policy makers and their staffs, including former Governor Ronald Reagan; Assembly Speaker Willie L. Brown, Jr.; Congressman Gary Condit, once a member of The Gang of Five;" Senator Jackie Speier and Assembly Speaker Doris Allen.

"Footprints is about how powerful people relate to each other and to the world, their fights, their wins and their losses," says Stork. "It's about how politics and karma permeate everything at the Capitol, and about how knowing something as simple as a person's sun and rising signs can help a player win. Believe me, I know this information was important to them because so many politicians and their staffs sought my astrological counsel and advice."

Whether in the center of the storm or on the periphery, Stork's insights into the motives and behavior of Capitol denizens stems from a lifelong study of esoteric philosophy and her own "sixth sense," guided in part by her carefully drawn and widely acclaimed horoscopes.

"After Proposition 140 passed, the maneuvers to oust Willie Brown from the Speakership and take control of the Assembly became the stuff of legends," remarks Stork. "I saw it all, close up and in the stars. I saw what power could do to people, how it affects their relationships and their souls. As with so many politicians I observed and studied over the years, I knew before they did, that (former Republican-turned-Democrat) Paul Horcher and (former Assembly Speaker) Doris Allen were headed for the rockiest rides of their political lives!"

Footprints of the Capitol Astrologer is shocking and heartwarming. It is filled with truths that both satisfy and dismay. While the identity of her son's father-a legislator-remains untold, Stork's confessions and many other revelations promise a great read. The book is available from Booklocker.com.
