This is the best book on astrology that I have read/listened to so far in my studies. The author's explanation of the zodiac archetypes as a progression of the self was mind-blowing and totally changed my understanding of the signs. I did not have a problem zoning out or daydreaming while listening to this book as I sometimes have when listening to academic/didactic audiobooks (typical Gemini!). She also explains the twelve houses of the natal chart and the planetary aspects and meanings. More advanced elements of astrology are not focused on (conjunct, trine, opposite, decanates, etc.), making this short, 1-hour audiobook perfect for beginners or those needing a refresher. I wish this author had more recordings!
