How long have you been studying astrology? If you've been practicing for a year and don't feel comfortable reading an actual horoscope, then this is the book you need to read! You'll learn to "reason astrologically" and discover how to put the planets and the aspects together. You'll learn how to figure out the meaning of Venus aspects, or your fixed T-square, or that upcoming Mars transit to your Moon. Rather than encouraging you to learn by rote, Donna Cunningham gives you a structured approach so you can let the astrological symbolism flow through you and out to your client.

Cunningham teaches a minimalist style of reading a chart as the best way to start. You'll discover which technique you want to use, and how to let go of the many techniques you may want to play with later. This "unclutters" the chart so you can begin to really see what's there. You'll learn what you need to know to be able to talk for that first hour with your client. Remember, there is a lot that can be said about a horoscope -- so much material is hidden in the circle that you could spend hours and weeks discovering it all. While this may be a lifelong interest for you, you need to talk sensibly without overwhelming the client, and after you've read this book, you'll be able to just that!

If you think your astrological fate is sealed by your Sun sign, think again! Your emotions, instincts, intuition, and mast private passions are dominated by your Moon sign. It throws light on such mysteries as why an Aquarian like Ronald Reagan is no radical, and why a Virgo like Raquel Welch is no virgin. Reagan's Moon is in conservative Taurus, and Welch's is in sexy Scorpio.

In this eye-opening volume, world-famous astrologer and therapist Donna Cunningham unravels the often bewildering effects of lunar influence: a person's potential for intimacy...sense of security...family ties...susceptibility to indulgence in food or drink...career ambition...as well as how men and women respond differently to the same lunar promptings in love and life.

Cunningham provides all the information you need to determine your own and others' Moon signs -- and analyze their power. Moon Signs also charts the daily, monthly, and yearly courses of the moon, which create those predictable mood swings -- our "emotional weather".

The time-honored tradition of astrology has today come into its own as a resource for human development and spiritual insight. For astrological novices and veterans alike, Cunningham's invaluable guide will pave the way to a more profound understanding of the uncharted and sometimes dark side of the soul.
