Publisher's Synopsis
For astrology to be useful there's no need to have a crystal ball, incense, meditation, or faith. Learn the practical language of astrology in this clear, easy-to-understand exploration that goes way beyond daily horoscopes and zodiac. With it, the reader will be able to calculate and read their own and others' birth charts; tell signs and planets from houses; create daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly planners-even make predictions for the future. With a glossary and further resources, this guide explores: · Why horoscopes and descriptions of "sun signs" are usually wrong · Why many astrologers use the "wrong" zodiac · The several different houses systems · All the planetary aspects that go beyond the sun and moon · The many cycles that determine an astrological forecast
