About this ebook

The easiest way to learn astrology is to start with yourself. Your astrological birth chart is a powerful tool for gaining a deeper understanding of your unique gifts, talents, challenges, and life's purpose. As you begin to decipher the wealth of information in your own birth chart, you'll experience astrology in a personally meaningful way—which makes it easier to understand and remember. Once you learn the basics of astrology, you'll be able to read the birth charts of yourself and others.

This friendly guidebook is the most complete introduction to astrology available. Popular astrologer Kris Brandt Riske presents the essentials of astrology in a clear, step-by-step way, paying special attention to three areas of popular interest: relationships, career, and money. She explains the meaning of the planets, zodiac signs, houses, and aspects, and how to interpret their significance in your chart. Over 30 illustrations, including the birth charts of several famous people—Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, and Tiger Woods, to name just a few—add a helpful visual dimension to your learning experience.

Practical and positive, Llewellyn's Complete Book of Astrology offers techniques for using astrology to identify the qualities you seek in an ideal mate, realize your career and financial potential, calculate your luck, and discover your inner strength.

Ratings and reviews

This is the only spiritual calling I've truly ever felt. Every description characteristic and personality trait it spot on for every person i am involved with. Learning the charts signs planet symbols traits ect was easy and fluently explained out. P.s. I HAD HATED READING TILL THIS BOOK!

i read chapter 1 and 2 of the book, I do not know much about astrology, although I believe in Horoscopes and predictions. the book explains the basics and I feel for a beginner , the explaination is sufficient.

I have the paperback copy of this book in my personal library. I found it easy to follow and a good resource for the beginner, but some of the information on the signs, especially the mythology behind the signs to be inaccurate. Not a bad book, but I expected a little better from Llewellyn on accuracy. Where were the editors? Especially since an older book I purchased by the same publisher pointes out a lot of the inaccurate assumptions that this auther states as fact.
