I have not ever found a better astrology book for those people who simply want to understand their own chart. They don't want to wade knee deep through understanding the possible planet/sign/house/aspect combinations for the rest of the world. (or they don't want to dedicate the number of years it takes to become adept). This book can take them from zero understanding to a respect and deepened understanding of their own chart. It is also one of the best beginner books I have ever seen for those people who do want to begin a more dedicated study of astrology. Organized, well put together and in a logical and manageable order. I teach an intro to astrology course and am constantly asked which book I'd recommend for the students to delve into their own charts. This is the only one I've found out of a rather extensive personal library. Grab your copies while you're still able to find them or hope for a reprint on this amazing book. Intermediate students can also use it to further their depth of study.

I shopped and shopped for a book that would unravel the mysteries of astrology, and this book was my discovery! I've told all my friends about it, and they are now on their own quests for personal transformation.Do yourself a favor and use this book to learn the basics before trying to read some of the more advanced texts, It has a great overview of every planet, asteroid, sign, house, and aspect, and you'll learn how to identify and read them all like a pro.

I completely enjoyed this book. It was interactive enough to keep me busy and informative enough to keep me excited about filling out each page. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in the process of taking their astrology knowledge to the "next level."

Basically, you fill in a lot of charts, keywords and more...all about your own chart. You will end up practically memorizing keywords etc. by the time you are finished...without even realizing you have! Well, written, well laid out...big thumbs up!

Very good book. had no knowledge about astrology before opened this book. Highly recommend for beginners!

This book is unbelievable! It is so clear and concise. It really explains the data in your birth chart. It is the best astrology book I have ever found. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in this subject.

This is an excellent book for both beginning Astrologers and those who have been at it awhile. Be sure to keep a pencil handy as you'll want to start filling in the pages right away.

Before I read this book, I had no real knowledge of Astrology. I thought it was just "Sun-signs" and did not have a clue about the rest. I was able to begin my journey into professional astrology from this easy to use and understand guide. Thank you Demetra and Douglas - for your wonderful contribution to my life and all others who have benefited from your wisdom and gifts. Sincerely, with peace and love, Becky/Thei

fun to work through. Can't wait to do it for my brother, my daughter and my husband! Easy, lots of room to fill it in.

This is an excellent workbook with all the basic information for a beginning astrologer. The chapters are arranged so that the student starts with the basic tools - planets, signs, houses - and then moves on to aspects - how to combine the basics into a meaningful interpretation. Each section is accompanied by exercises related to the student's chart to that s/he can apply the information to his/herself. The bibliography provides resources so that the student can continue to more advanced levels. The information is well organized and easy to understand. This workbook can be used on its own by a student or in connection with an established teacher.

You would have to be an advanced astrologer not to benefit from this excellent primer on astrology. It has everything you will need to read your own chart and become familiar with the language of astrology (the zodiac, planets, houses, asteroids, and so on). The explanations are simple and down-to-earth, which is exactly what a beginner needs to understand astrology. The more advanced student will often refer back to it as a reference.

The authors take a very friendly approach, with excercises meant to be used to understand your own birth chart better. Upon completing the book, you will have your own interpretation of your birth chart and will be ready to read other charts and attempt more complicated analysis, such as progressed charts.

The book is free of opinions and agendas, nothing but plain astrology presented in a way that anyone can understand, given a bit of effort and dedication. This is your first stop if you are interested in astrology or know something about the subject and want to consolidate your knowledge. econ
