Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Astrology has no dearth of information about the myriad facets of the astrological chart and bewildering array of techniques used to interpret them, but students saturated with details still struggle to put the pieces together. Backed by nearly 30 years of observing humanity through the lens of the horoscope, Donna Cunningham lays out a workable system for reading charts in this latest of her twelve published volumes. It isn't a cookbook, but more of a driver's manual, as she offers her unique spin on the favorite question asked of conference speakers: 'How do you interpret a chart?' Here, Donna teaches the reader to zero in on the most important features of the chart and transits and to synthesize the apparent contradictions. The book offers fresh and often pungent insights into planetary types, missing or weak features, and other facets of the horoscope that shape our character and actions. Donna pays particular attention to the role of aspects, which she believes are the key to understanding not only the birth chart, but also transits and chart comparison.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant book when you're ready to integrate, November 2, 1999
By Mark McDonough (Manchester, MA) - See all my reviews
I was reluctant to buy Donna's book. My bookshelves are already overflowing with astrology books - many of them unread. But I was captured by her premise. "If you have been practicing for a year and don't feel comfortable reading an actual horoscope, then this is the book you need!" I still get the stunned deer look when confronting a chart for the first time. I start trying to dig through remembrances of past cookbooks I have read. Donna's anti-cookbook approach teaches you how to reason astrologically so you can deduce the delineations yourself. It is not a primer. You need to have the basics firmly in hand that you learned in the cookbooks. What she does is show you how to cut through the clutter, find and read the essential themes in the chart. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has studied astrology for a while and is ready to consolidate their book learning into more easy, flowing interpretations.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best How-To Book on Reading Charts, January 5, 2001
By "supertechie" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
I've been reading charts since the 1960s and still found much to savor in this book. Cunningham is a master of sorting out the important from the background noise.

The more we learn and the more astrological factors we know about, the more complex it can become to read a chart. Cunningham takes us back to the basics in a way that brings new richness to every chart you will read.

Thanks Donna!

5.0 out of 5 stars How to think like an astrologer, July 4, 2004
Donna Cunningham has written a brief and thoughful book about how astrologers think. She set out to avoid the typical "cookbook" approach and instead focuses on how astrologers combine key factors to interpret a chart. She has succeeded at her task. Donna gives step by step examples of how she arrives at a delineation so that the reader can follow her example when confronting a new chart. This text reminds me of a book I once read about how to learn a new language. It does not teach the language but rather gives helpful advice on how to structure your studies for maximal effect. My only regret is that Donna did not include more examples so that we could see more of her method in action. I would highly recommend this book to astrologers at any level of expertise.

4.0 out of 5 stars So far, I like it
I bought this book, based on reviews, because I really need a more advanced book. I have quite a few basic books but I didn't have a book to show me how to put everything... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are venturing into reading charts.... get this book!
This book is past the beginner stage, but defnitely appropriate for those that have the basic understanding of the planets, their energy in signs and in houses. Read more
