It was okay. I mostly skimmed it. I read what was relevant to me and what I wanted to know. If you are interested in the history of astrology across the ancient cultures and societies I would check this book out. The first portion of it is all history which I'm not really interested in at this time. Not a bad book I got some new info about my astrological background. This book ends with making your own birth chart so if you're interested in that I would suggest this book but I did find that section a little confusing.
This is a comprehensive book that includes techniques, signs & planets, charts & tables, and absolutely gorgeous photos, drawings and charts in a smaller very convenient size. My instructor sent this to me, and it has proved invaluable in my lessons - I highly recommend it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS BOOK. I really happy to read this. Buy Shri Baglamukhi Yantra in India - Pandit NM Shrimali Mother is considered to be the down growth of the elderly Stambhav Shakti. It destroys the enemies and evil forces by removing the fear of their devotees. Mother's gardening machine is considered auspicious in religious works.
The images in this book are absolutely breathtaking and a great supplement to the information found within. This is another excellent primer for anyone beginning astrology, especially if you love pictures. The section on the history of astrology is also pretty detailed and interesting.
after reading a number of books on astrology and looking back on this one, I find it really concise and interesting. A good entry level book for astrology learners.
