In The Night Speaks, best-selling author Steven Forrest tackles the knotty question of how astrology works while illuminating the reasons, both rational and transcendent, that astrology has been the focus of his spiritual life.

In his own words, "I love astrology passionately. Every day I see it helping people. But on the street, astrology is still mostly viewed as silliness. Anyone who 'believes in it' is taken for a fool." This inspired him to wonder if he could write a book an open-minded critic might read and "be inspired to give astrology an hour to prove itself." Could he write one that his clients could confidently hand their skeptical friends? In other words, could he break through the monumental wall of prejudice and ignorance that has kept astrology trapped in its ghetto? He describes The Night Speaks, not as a "How To Do Astrology" book, but rather "Why To."
