The Complete Guide to the Interpretation of Horoscopes

Precise, comprehensive, and richly detailed, The Astrologer's Handbook moves far beyond the common 11 sun signs" to the important planetary aspects -- trines, squares, oppositions, conjunctions, and sextiles -- discussing their impact on the human personality and exploring their subtle but firm influence on all our lives.

Although undertaken originally to meet the demands of professional astrologers, The Astrologer's Handbook is, happily, a book that serves every reader. The authors, two respected innovators in the field, explain carefully all of the central concepts and provide easy-to-follow instructions for doing a complete interpretation -- both general and specific -- of any natal chart.

For those who wish to actually cast their own charts, step-by-step directions are provided. Or, for those who prefer, special coupons are provided for purchasing personalized computer-gene rated horoscopes with complete tabulation of planetary aspects cross-referenced to the proper pages of this book.

An introduction for students of astrology, this work covers the signs of the zodiac and uses key words in describing them. For example, with Gemini, there are regular astrological keywords such as "ruler", "exhaltation" and "fall", as well as discussions of the symbol, physical correlation, archetype, shadow, motivation, what Gemini strives for, their task in life, the pitfalls, the guiding principles, the mythological motifs and much more. The planets in the signs, houses and aspect combinations are also examined.
