Astrology For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies))
I will happily admit to being a big fan of the Dummies books. If one is new to a subject, wants to find a starting point that will not mislead or overwhelm them or only wants an overview they are the perfect place to start. "Astrology for Dummies" by Rae Orion is just such a book.
As an experienced Tarot reader, I know the basics of astrology, but I wanted to learn more so that I could effectively add astrology to my services. I needed a starting point from which to learn enough so that I could intelligently evaluate more advanced books as well as software and other technical astrological products. This book has given me those tools.
Other reviewers have complained that this book "...is an extremely generalized book..." or that it is "...not very helpful for anyone who really wants to seriously study astrology". Yes, it is generalized and no, it will not make you a serious nor professional astrologer. It is a Dummies book! It does precisely what all Dummies books are intended to do, it takes the reader from know little or nothing about a subject to either satisfying their curiosity or giving them an effective platform from which to launch more detailed study.
The various parts of astrology are covered step by step with the clear tables, checklists, comments, signpost icons and sidebars for which the Dummies books are famous.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who knows little or even nothing about astrology, but wants to learn more and then either be satisfied or know how to go on with their studies.
