Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a wonderful book to use as an introduction to astrology. The explanations are oderly and easy to follow. The beginning student will get a thorough understanding of the basics. The technical terms of astrology are barely covered. The more confusing astrology techniques are barely touched upon. I guess they think an "idiot" wouldn't understand them. This book will only give you an idea of real astrology in action. This book just talks about the planets in the different signs and houses, with a heavy dosage of sign traits. Humor is this books strength. I find humor missing from far too many astrology books. This is a "fun" book, reading is enjoyable. There is a small chapter on tarot cards, palmistry and numerology, enough to peek your interest. In conclusion, even a professional astrologer would have fun reading this book and the beginner will receive a clear introduction.

This book takes a complicated subject and breaks it down into bite-sized pieces. While not a detailed technical manual, it exposes the reader to the components of astrology, and encourages further study.
In addition, the author presents several techniques I have not found in other books on astrology such as determining the astrological signature of a chart, and determining reaping or sowing lifetimes.

NOT for beginners
3 Jan 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is completely off-base when it says that it is for complete idiots. Take a look at this book and you will find that nothing is clearly explained. They jump around a lot when writing. In order to be capable of understanding this book, you have to be well adjusted in the world of astrology, probably even a certified astrologer, and I do not exaggerate when I say this. I am pretty well-educated in astrology and thought this book would explain things I didn't know a little clearer, but it doesn't. Sorry, yet another failure from the line of Idiot's books. Instead of this book, I might recommend the one for Dummies instead as that one is a bit easier to understand.

Good for newbies that have brains
27 May 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is an excellent introduction into astrology for newcomers. Parts of it may become confusing without a birth chart in hand, but sites like astrolabe.com can help anyone get their birth chart. If you don't know anything about astrology except your sign, but you want to know more, I suggest you go out and get this book.
