Title: Useful for what it is.
Review: This guide is a good reference text to take a beginner to the next step. I'm using this book to take my chart's information I got free, online, and extracting the correlating data. With a simple list of my planets and houses and their motion, I've been using this book to create a much more wonderfully in-depth and descriptive chart than I've ever had before.Is it a perfect introduction, especially for the purposes of drawing and reading one's own chart the "old fashioned" way? No. However, through reading the explanations of different individuals' charts, you will pick up the general understanding of what is where - what these symbols mean.It's a really fun book that doesn't provide too much or too little. It doesn't claim to teach everything, but they give you a lot.Free online profiles helped me get started -helped give me that first "Wow! That's really me!". The authors recognize the ease of this, and I'm glad they note it in their text.It's a good start.
