Many people dismiss astrology as irrelevant to today's issues or associate it with watered down "star" readings. This book updates both views, showing how astrology has its place in the modern world. Joanna guides readers through all the elements of the horoscope, using clear text and colorful charts and diagrams. Rather than simply looking at historical meanings, she focuses on how different elements can symbolically work to influence and reflect personal situations and relationships. Using working examples and case studies, she shows how planets, signs, houses, and aspects work together to paint a personal astrological picture.
