Description
A guide for learning to read your horoscope
Learning to read a birth chart-to see and understand the patterns and interactions of the planets at the moment we were born-can be daunting, especially when following traditional systems for learning astrology.
Presenting a simple way to learn astrology, professional astrologer and astropsychologist Alison Chester-Lambert breaks down the complexities of a birth chart into easy-to-understand, bite-sized pieces, revealing how to quickly decode a person's strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities with -psychological astrology. Starting with the Zodiac Signs, Alison explains how each Sign is either Masculine or Feminine and how simply looking at the Masculine-Feminine balance of Signs in a chart can reveal a lot about a person. She looks at the four Elements of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water in astrology and how each Element rules over specific Zodiac Signs. Sharing personality-trait keywords for each Element, she shows how looking at the Elements present in a birth chart can help you understand the motivation behind a person's actions and choices. Alison explains how to interpret the Ascendant, or Rising Sign, in a birth chart as well as the meaning of each House and which Element they are ruled by. She also provides several sample charts and interpretations to get you started.
Sharing an approachable way to learn astrology and begin reading charts right away, Alison shows how psychological astrology not only reveals the spiritual structure of the Cosmos but also can help each of us truly understand all behavior in depth.

Reviews / Votes
"Concentrating solely on Signs and Houses makes total sense, and it's fun, too. Alison's casual and entertaining style of writing takes the reader by the hand and allays any fears of a supposedly complex subject. What you get is in-depth knowledge of the twelve zodiac signs, including polarities, elements, and qualities, plus the workings and meanings of the two main axes, quadrants, and twelve houses in the chart. As an introduction to astrology, this is a great book." * KARIN HOFFMANN, editor for Astrodienst on www.astro.com * "Alison taught me astrology using this system and it immediately clicked. Now I am a paid astrological influencer on YouTube. I highly recommend it to reach professional status." * PENNY DIX, astrologer and psychotherapist * "A must-have book for the astrologically curious and anyone seeking to empower their lives by gaining a knowledge of the stars." * Alexandra Wenman, author of Archangel Fire Oracle and Water Alchemy Oracle *More details
