I would describe this book as a combination of Heaven Knows What & Astrology For Millions by Grant Lewi. The book has in depth information of the zodiac through all the different planets & their aspects with each other. It even has a section describing the ascendant through the signs. Like Astrology for the Millions, it has a moon sign calendar at the back of the book, which is very useful.

serían 3.5 pero no es opción. me ha parecido interesante, ha sido mi primer contacto “técnico” con la astrología y aunque no me haya quedado con tanto a nivel aprendizaje me parece un buen libro a modo de herramienta. hay algunas partes en las que se nota que el libro está un poco anticuado a día de hoy, pero no se siente viejuno en absoluto. habiendo dicho todo eso no sé si sólo sucede en la edición que yo tengo o en todas pero hay varios errores de impresión, nada grave que dificulte la lectura pero sí cosas graciosas como un “410” invertido en espejo.
