Sometimes, even if you are an experienced and skilled astrologer, you need a good basic textbook which delineates the underpinning or our art. Why? To compare its content with those of similar books edited 10 to 20 years ago: it allows to graps if the field and its tools of analysis has evolved and progressed.

Yes, the book of Sue fills this need and I may recommend it to novice and skilled astrologers; it is convenient to study it in deep, and to have it on your bookshelf, even if a great part of its content can be found in others didactic published documentations. By the way, did our understanding of astrology evolve tremendously? Not sure....

I've been seriously studying astrology for the last twenty years and have read most of the books. This book by Sue Tompkins along with her other one Aspects in Astrology is a must to have on your bookshelf. Particularly 'Aspects in Astrology'. This one, 'The Contemporary Astrologers Handbook', has a lot of the basics and very good on the planetary energy house interpretations. I liked her house interpretation which is a departure from the usual cook book styles seen written on the same subject. She is a great writer it has helped me understand on deeper levels.

Just like any book by Sue Tompkins this one is great, written in an easy to read, easy to understand language, this great teacher of Astrology has done it again with this outstanding book.

Sue Tompkins demonstrated to be a very experienced and serious astrologer that goes beyond the usual superficial interpretation and guidance. The book is introductory, but is indicated not only for beginners but also for those that are looking for a more broad approach to astrology.
