I love his books.
My favorite one is one on Sabian Aspect Orbs.

He is one of the few astrologers that used Heliocentric Planetary Nodes too.

I really liked my sharing Sun,Mercury,Venus in Scorpio, Moon in Pisces, and Ascendant/Descendant in Virgo/Pisces, Midheaven/Imum Coeli in Gemini/Sagittarius in common with him. I believe that was a factor in me being very interested in his books.

Transiting dwarf planet candidate Sedna was in 21'31 Taurus R in his 9th
opposing his chart ruler Mercury in 21'08 Scorpio in 3rd
and trine/sextile his Ascendant/Descendant axis in 21'31 Virgo/Pisces

That could indicate a transit that involves going to the other side for transneptunian dwarf planet candidate Sedna is most otherworldy with its longest and most distant orbit by far. It is named after the Inuit Ocean Goddess who was also the Ruler of the Underworld called Adlivun. It's opposition to his chart ruler Mercury shows that he was in a period of suffering that may have effected his mind and his overall self. However, it's transit was trine/sextile Ascendant exact to the very minute, and that could indicate that his soul transited to the other side in a peaceful way. As a transneptunian dwarf planet, it could indicate his mind and overall self was undergoing evolutionary intensification.

Transiting transneptunian dwarf planet Pluto was semisquare his chart ruler Mercury with 10 minutes of arc applying indicate transformation of the mind and overall self. As a transneptunian dwarf planet, it could indicate his mind and overall self was undergoing evolutionary intensification.

Transiting transneptunian dwarf planet Eris in 21'09 Aries quincunx his chart ruler Mercury in 21'08 Aries R which could indicate possible ideological matters leading to him adjusting his thinking. With its Persephone-like orbit, the transit could indicate a transition from the earthly plane to the otherworldly plane. As a transneptunian dwarf planet, it could indicate his mind and overall self was undergoing evolutionary intensification.

In Right Ascension:

Transiting Saturn was in opposition to Eris with 2 minutes of arc separating. It could indicate restrictions,limitations at odds with his ideology. With Saturn being the traditional planet of death, it could indicate death, especially with transneptunian dwarf planet Eris involved.

Transiting Neptune was trining his Saturn with 1'44 orb applying, and opposing his Pluto with 1'05 applying.
This would indicate that his personal power being dissolved but being at peace with the physical structure being dissolved.
It can be a profound spiritual transit.

His Solar Return is interesting

It has both Moon and Neptune in 8th house which could indicate a strong emphasis on death.

His Moon in 9'23 Pisces in 8th square the conjunction of Mercury in 9'12 Sagittarius and 13'01 Mars in Sagittarius in 5th
indicate the conflict of feelings and the mind that involve passion. There could be feelings and thoughts of anger in regards to death.

His Sun in 22'44 Scorpio oppose Sedna in 22'00 Taurus and squareh Neptune in 25'55 Aquarius in 8th indicates that the central focus of the year is profound spirituality and dissolution, and this fits with his cancer and death.......especially with Neptune in 8th

Jupiter in 23'30 Pisces R in 9th trine Sun and sextile Sedna........so a Point of Thales configuration. The optimism,expansion of Jupiter gives the Sun oppose Sedna an outlet, through all the suffering he went through, there was optimism,expansion coming from having a spiritual philosophy. He did believe in reincarnation. He believed that his soul would live on after the death of his physical body.

Because Sedna is VERY slow moving, he had Sun oppose Sedna for quite a few Solar Returns which could indicate years of suffering.

Pluto in 6th can indicate transformation, breaking down in regards to health leading to death

Venus in 27'44 Libra R in 4th trine Neptune in 25'55 Aquarius in 8th could indicate a period where he is coming to terms with dying and being at peace with it, maybe dying at home and/or around family too

In regards to his Solar ARC

Solar Arc Moon
sesquiquadrate Neptune - '05 applying
semisquare Eris - '00 applying

This adds to the theme of his Solar Return of Sun oppose Sedna and square Neptune

Natally he has Neptune in 2nd oppose Sedna with 5 minutes of arc, and his Solar Arc Moon formed a solar arc picture with that square

a period of suffering,profound spirituality,dissolution as well as evolutionary intensification

Solar Arc Eris semisquare Moon with 2 minutes of arc applying adds to the emphasis of evolutionary intensification as well as ideological matters and transitions.
