Our astrological signs

[Jade]

I imagine this is the best approach to learning astrology..getting your chart then just breaking it down and reading everything you can from a variety of resources.

Does anyone recommend particular books over others though? I'm being drawn to astrology. I once had my chart read and was floored how accurately it described me and the direction I wanted to take in life.

Someone already mentioned Liz Greene, who is one of my favorites. The way I learned astrology was just the internet, really - I'd draw up a chart of myself or someone I know, and then slowly take apart their chart and learn along the way. It's beneficial to read a few books just to get the order down and to learn the basic archetypical structure of the symbols, but learning how to read a chart is like learning a whole new language, and the easiest way to practice is to just *do*. Just like anything involving the subtle metaphysical arts, it's more of a practice of learning to trust one's intuition (once the basic language structure is understood).
