Many would-be stargazers are seeking do-it-yourself instructions to astrology--something that's advanced enough to give an in-depth reading, yet simple enough to master without being a rocket scientist. They can now happily end their quest for enlightenment with this comprehensive guide. They'll start with a beginner's introduction to sun signs (which, basic as they are, reveal more than you would imagine about what makes people tick), and then graduate to slightly more complex subjects like planets, aspects, conjunctions, and trines. Everything's explained in terms anyone can understand, and illustrated with charts covering all the signs of the zodiac. Throughout, the focus is not on the stars per se, but on what they say about our characteristics, personalities, and compatibilities.
