5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!, April 21, 1998

By A Customer

I read this book not to long ago, and it is one of my favorites. It gives you an overall view for astrology and basic interpretations of planets in signs, aspects, houses, ect. I especially reccomend it for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for ANYONE interested in Astrology, October 8, 2004

By	Niki Li (Fort Lauderdale, FL) - See all my reviews

What can I say? It's the absolute best, must have book for ANYONE who has even a slight interest in Astrology. I've been an Astrology enthusiast for over 10 years now and even though my level is more in the intermediate to advanced range, I still find this as an invaluable, handy reference. It perfectly "walks" you through this fascinating, yet complex science in a simple and easy to understand format. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to go beyond those fun, yet very general and vague daily horoscopes you find in the paper. It even includes a mail in offer to get your own chart done! (At least my old copy does, not sure about the new edition)
This book will help you understand and interpret your chart to give you an enlightening and informative understanding of yourself.
It includes chapters that explain and interpret the meanings of all the twelve houses, the signs and their characteristics, the planets and their rulerships, even meanings to all possible aspects of your natal placements.
I really wish I had this book when I first developed an in-depth interest in Astrology. Again, A MUST HAVE FOR ANY ASTROLOGY ENTHUSIAST!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners!, December 18, 2001

By	Ariesgirl (michigan) - See all my reviews

If you've just had your astrology chart done. (which you can
do for free on the Astrodienst website) Then this book will
help you understand what all the planets in various signs and
houses in your chart means and you will find that it most likely
describes your life and personality. See for yourself. Astrology
is a fun hobby.
