an introduction to the zodiac

"Too often, astrology guides obscure the mystical wonder of the zodiac with overly tedious details about nodes, houses, angles, and aspects that even Ptolemy would reject. Astrology 101 cuts out the boring details and lengthy explanations and instead gives you a hands-on lesson that keeps you engaged as you learn how the movements of the stars and planets affect human behavior. From the four elements and twelve houses to astrological personality types and sign compatibility, this compact primer is packed with hundreds of fascinating star sign facts, informative charts and illustrations, and stories of famous astrologers and their predictions for the future. So whether you're looking to find how a Mercury retrograde affects you, or just want to learn more about a specific sun sign, Astrology 101 has all the answers--even the ones you didn't know you were looking for.", --Amazon.com"Curious about astrology? Take a deeper look at the zodiac and find out what it can reveal in this concise, accessible introduction. Astrology is an ancient art in which the movements of the stars and planets are used to help divine the future. Learn about its history, consult an overview of each sun sign, and find out how to create and use a natal chart to craft personalized horoscopes.", --publisher's description, lower cover
