Synopsis
Many people dismiss astrology as irrelevant to today's issues or associate it with watered down "star" readings. This book updates both views, showing how astrology has its place in the modern world. Joanna guides readers through all the elements of the horoscope, using clear text and colourful charts and diagrams. Rather than simply looking at historical meanings, she focuses on how different elements can symbolically work to influence and reflect personal situations and relationships. Readers most wish to know about family and friends, relationships, wealth, career, and health. Using working examples and case studies, she shows how planets, signs, houses, and aspects work together to paint a personal astrological picture. Astrology can also help predict how situations may develop in the future. If our horoscope represents a frozen moment in time - our birth - after this moment, the planets carry on moving. How this movement compares to the original chart is the realm of prediction, and the author shows how transits and progressions, the movements of the planets, bring a chart to life.
