This is an entertaining and informative guide to the subject of
astrology. It explains the workings of this most ancient and
fascinating art and explains how many of the supposed criticisms
often levelled against it are founded on mis-information and
ignorance. The first few chapters deal with the make-up of the
birth chart, the kinds of astrologer at large in the world today,
and what you can expect if you choose to have a proper consultation
done through a professional practitioner. The book then goes on to
list and to discuss the 12 most commonly presented criticisms of
astrology, with arguments and counter arguments presented in
detail, including scientific discussion. Later, there are chapters
dealing with astrology's place in the modern world and some
cautionary tales for astrologers themselves! Intelligence and
rationality are no barriers for anybody wishing to explore this
fascinating area of study, and here is a book designed to help us
do just that. On a lighter note, cartoons are sprinkled throughout
the book, making for a blend of serious scholarship and
light-hearted fun. It's a good read. Useful for the complete layman
and also for the professional. I hope you will enjoy it.
