The easiest way to learn astrology is to start with yourself. Your astrological birth chart is a powerful tool for gaining a deeper understanding of your unique gifts, talents, challenges, and life's purpose. As you begin to decipher the wealth of information in your own birth chart, you'll experience astrology in a personally meaningful way-which makes it easier to understand and remember. Once you learn the basics of astrology, you'll be able to read the birth charts of yourself and others.
This friendly guidebook is the most complete introduction to astrology available. Popular astrologer Kris Brandt Riske presents the essentials of astrology in a clear, step-by-step way, paying special attention to three areas of popular interest: relationships, career, and money. She explains the meaning of the planets, zodiac signs, houses, and aspects, and how to interpret their significance in your chart. Over 30 illustrations, including the birth charts of several famous people—Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, and Tiger Woods, to name just a few—add a helpful visual dimension to your learning experience.
Practical and positive, Llewellyn's Complete Book of Astrology offers techniques for using astrology to identify the qualities you seek in an ideal mate, realize your career and financial potential, calculate your luck, and discover your inner strength.

If a general-interest lending library were to obtain only a few astrology books, Llewellyn's Complete Book of Astrology should be one of them. It offers the most complete introduction to astrology available by a popular astrologer who provides a step-by-step survey of the three main areas of popular interest: relationships, career and money. From how the zodiac signs figure in analysis to interpreting a chart, this complete book offers beginners keys to not just accessing astrology, but to applying it to daily living.

This book is one of the best beginner books to Astrology I have read. I began my study of Astrology with Tetrabilios by Ptolomy and got lost as you can imagine. After having read this book, it is much more clear and I am better able to both read and understand Ptolomy. The only thing I would have liked would have been more of a comparison of the different house systems, though I appriciate the author at least naming a few. I am now off to learn more about the different house systems and would highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in Astrology.

If you are interested in Astrology; want to get beyond reading the news paper every day, this is your first step. Ms. Riske has written a manual that will not only get you started, but one that you will refer to over and over again. If, like me, you get hooked on this amazing subject and need more, this book will be the foundation of your library. My copy is tabulated and "dog eared" from constant use.
