If your looking to go back to square one..

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

Ive been studying astrology since i was about 15 years old (im 23 now). I started studying whatever i wanted to, so naturally i jumped around the subjects, moving onto advanced topics before i had the basics down. This is a great book for just that, It will literally take you to square one. Naturally, this book cant tell you everything, such as how to apply astrology in everyday life, as well as more complicated topics, but if your looking for that first stepping stone to open up the world of astrology for you, this is a perfect choice. Its also layed out nicely, and contains little tid-bits ive never even heard of! And not to mention, its written well and in common language. I didnt once get lost about what something was. Great beginners choice or if your looking to brush up on your basics!

Very informative/must have

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2013

Recently I was at a bookstore and leafed through this book. I have personally studied the art and science of astrology for the last 33 yrs and found it quite informative, that is for the layman. If you are a beginner this is an excellent choice for info and easy start knowledge. Most of it was info I already knew. Erecting charts will help you more. Observation through the empirical senses of the chart in action is the best way to learn the art/science of astrology. Although the computer has revolutionized the science, manually erecting charts by hand gives you a better comprehension of the workings of the chart and astrology.

Not a serious introduction.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2008

Verified Purchase

If your curiosity on the matter is light and superficial, this book will do just fine. You'll find general and easy to understand explinations for a variety of topics in astrology along with an astrological "cookbook" for a quick chart analysis. The book comes short on the topic of sign compatibility rendering it too simplistically for any real use, though.
I also feel that the book is too trivial at times, harming astrology's already battered image; but this is more a personal opinion than a fact.
If your interest runs a bit deeper and/or are looking for a professional introduction, there are more serious and in-depth books out there.

This is a very educational book that gives very detailed step by step as to how to not only read horoscopes, but create your own star charts and explaining how everything ties together

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

The book is good (2 STARS - for being just good and not a GREAT book for beginners) and I read it twice from cover to back. It is more understandable just READING it, than actually attempting to create a natal chart with just this 'book for dummies' as an aid. I am a complete novice and to entertain you more, a 'DUMMY in Astrology' so I needed to purchase something I thought would be easy to comprehend and implement alone. Wrong, wrong and a thousand times wrong. The minute I was left on my own creating my natal chart (Gemini sun, Virgo moon and Scorpio Ascendent) I was completely LOST. I couldn't and didn't understand where the dog-gone FIRST house was and I believe many other don't either. The people who write these books should actually have a dummy like me sitting there with them and then they'd know exactly what I mean. This book couldn't get me out of the problems I discovered as I was challenging my limited ability in this subject. I used the Birth Chart on the Internet and I could SEE it. I made my chart according to Internet. I clearly for 3 hours didn't know what to counterclockwise count back from - The Sun - the book isn't clear here. Remember, I'm the idiot. I got more of my questioned answered by asking the Internet questions than this book. Well, I said my piece and I guess I'm in the minority here. No I wouldn't purchase another one of these books. I'll use this book ONLY as a reference.

Good book for beginners

I purchased this book knowing very little about Astrology other than i was a Cancer! This book is very good at describing and explaining the signs, houses etc.. It is easy to read and didn't go way over my head like some other books i have read. I would recommend this for beginners and experts who are looking for a reference to know more about Astrology.

This is my second basic Astrology book and I love it. Easy to understand and takes you in steps from the basics on up and keeps building on previous lessions. They were able to explain things in easy to understand way so I could understand. Great as a reference too.

I find the advice in this production helpful, humorous, down to earth and thoroughly up-to-date. It is clear and concise on all points, and should help the would be astrologer in everyway that he needs. I have this book on Kindle where it meets my needs. It has a list of contents, but some reader/students may find a hardback product5ion easier for finding particular references
