This is a really great book if you're wanting to get beyond the basic checking-your-weekly-horoscope-in-the-newspaper-astrology. Not that there's anything wrong with that kind, but if you're wanting to know about birth charts, love affinity, the placement of your other planets (Moon Sign, Venus Sign, etc) and Rising/Ascendant Sign, this is a great choice. It's fun and interesting to read, very clear and easily understood, and boy do I regret not picking up that copy I saw at the flea market (I owned this book for years and re-read it till it fell apart).
I truly agree with the title: with detailed descriptions of how to draw up your own charts, descriptions of every planet in your chart, descriptions for every house and charts to tell you were everything was, you can truly to everything with this book. I learned facts about astrology in this book that people would not believe when I told them. The only downside is the size: it is great if you are drawing up charts for your friends (as I was in high school) but it is an awful waste of space if you are only concerned with yourself. Terribly disappointed that it is out of print and I have not been able to replace my mother's copy.

Excellent book for beginners, easily understood with simple directions for casting your own birth chart. A good springboard into the field of astrology.
The CD is neat, though a bit annoying, and the book is sufficiently in-depth enough for some good fun. If you get just one astrology book, get this one.
Very good book, includes star charts and complete info to make a birth chart, very informative, easy to use, very good in depth explanations of the signs
This is a wonderful book for beginners who want to learn more about their astrological chart. It makes things very simple and easy to understand. If you are new to astrology, this is the best place to start before moving on to more in depth, complex books.
