Astrology for Yourself: How to Understand and Interpret Your Own Birth Chart: A Workbook for Personal Transformation by Demetra George, Douglas Bloch
3.0
Good and thorough intro to studying your own chart. I journaled a ton during the three weeks I read this book, and learned so much more about myself and Astrology by doing so.
When I tell my friends this book is old, I don't mean the Astrology teachings are irrelevant, but rather that it's written in a different astrological social context. The first edition was published in the 1980s, and an effort was made to always refer to clients as he or she, instead of they, for example. The marriage chart example is (surprise!) a straight couple, and the USA natal chart interpretation is way too generous and very dissasociated from actual historical facts we are openly discussing in the 21st century.
I did recommend this book to friends and will continue to do so.
