Compendium of Astrology

I found this book in the library, had it a few days and ordered it from a local bookstore because I had to have it. I found the aspects described (moon squared venus, etc., for example) to be very insightful. Not to many books can claim being 'complete', and strangely enough, this one doesn't, but it comes closer than any other I've picked up. I really love this book and thank the authors for writing it; I wouldn't be without it. If you are learning about astrology, you'll also love Stephen Arroyo's "astrology, karma, and transformation", a wonderful book by him which compliments 'Compendium' well. All Arroyo's books are must-haves as well.

I tried for along time, trying to grasp the concept of Astrology, but it was seemingly too far out of my reach to commit to memory and to understand the inner dynamics of the whole thing. Then a friend handed me this book,..a loan ,..lol,..it was not long before I had misplaced it(such a lie) ,..as I tried to get my own copy but, no one was able to obtain one for me. The book opened Astrology to me,..it helped me understand what Astrology actually was, how it worked and even better gave simple but indepth examples of the planetary placings and aspects,.I soon felt confident with my ability to interpret charts as I finally could understand what exactly I was looking at,..now so many years later I have my own concepts on Astrology and it's meanings, that differ very much with the typical Astrology, but I must confess this book still dawns my shelf and always will. This is the book I recommend to anyone who shows interest in Astrology,..so comprehensive yet also so inviting. My hats off to the Author. Bright Blessings Anue
