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 Exactly what I was looking for..., September 11, 2004
By kimichika (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
I have only been reading charts for a couple of years now, but I always knew I was missing something the astrological "cookbooks" couldn't teach me. Ever since I read Ms. Cunningham's book, I realized that what I was missing out on was not technical expertise but the ability to get a feel for the chart just by looking at it, rather than immediately having to resort to a book for explanations of planets in signs, houses, etc. The creative presentation of the material along with the author's straightforward writing style really helped me to begin thinking astrologically. I can now approach a new chart with confidence (instead of flat-out terror!) and start to interpret on my own. I can't recommend this book enough to people like me who have a firm grasp of the basics and want to move up to the next level.
