The Astrologer's Handbook

This book gave me a very good background in astrology as a beginner. Not only does it give all the details of calculating a person's birthchart, but it goes to explain the significance and meaning of each aspect of the different planets and signs in a person's birthchart.The only bad qualities I found in the book were a few repetions of the text in similar parts of each sign, and the fact that the maps the author gave ended in the early 80's, even though I bought the book in the late 90's...

This book is a must for all who is interested in astrology. For a beginner it is a dream come true, full of details and insights. Not only does it cover the basics of astrology in great detail ,it gives helpful tiblits of information on the more complex, avanced skills. Easy to understand from the beginning, it goes on to explain, taking one step at a time and building on your knowledge. It also explains how to cast a chart, including the necessary math problems. With an index and glossary everything is very easy to access
