Astrology

I have both Parker's Astrology and this book by the same author. Why buy this one if I already had the other? Well DK puts out good books for people who are left handed. ie right brain people. We tend to be able to grasp things faster with visual aids. In that respect this book was easyer to use than Parker's even though it essentially had about the same information. What makes me torn between the two? They didn't include the chart progression in this book and if they had I'd probably have given it a 5 instead of a 4.If your interested in astrology and working your own chart by hand this book will help you do that much. It will also give you some information about what it all means. But unlike the first book Parker's Astrology it will not tell you how to progress the chart. if you just want to a copy of your natal chart though you can get it free at www.astro.com in minutes and the same results as doing it yourself. This a good book for all us right brained people who wanted to learn how to do it ourselves though.

This is an excellent general knowledge book. Great if you don't know a lot about astrology and want to learn. Like all DK books this one is illustrated beautifully.

This is a good book to buy if you want to know more than the sun signs, but aren't sure where to start. If you are familiar with Parker's Astrology, this book is by the same authors and is similiar to it, but it is smaller and on a more basic level than the former, which is good for somebody brand new to astrology.Personally I prefer Parker's; it's more comprehensive--I don't want two books on my shelf that are so similiar. But like I said, this may be a great choice if you don't want to spend a lot of money and aren't sure if you are ready for the more detailed aspects of astrology.

I never understood my friends' fascination with Astrology until I was given this great book. This Kiss guide is so easy to read that I devoured the entire book in one weekend, and now I'm an Astrology fanatic!

a great book for both the beginner and advanced astrologer. The beginner will like its ease of use and the advanced astrologer will use it as a quick reference guide.The color coded pages are a nice feature and the illustrations are new and upbeat. I started my astrology knowledge with the authors first astrology book, The Complete Astrologer. This is even better. Phyllis Diercks
