Mythic Astrology is a perfect introduction to the world of astrology. In an entirely new approach featuring a beautifully illustrated deck, Liz Greene -- co-author of The Mythic Tarot -- uses the powerful images of ancient myths to provide new insights into the Sun, Moon, planets and Ascendant. By invoking the imagination, the symbols of astrology can now be understood on the emotional, intuitive and intellectual levels. Mythic Astrology will teach you something about yourself -- your strengths and limits, and what makes you happiest and most productive. Read the color cards with friends or you will explore your own character, recognize that others see and experience life differently, and begin to understand the basic chemistry between yourself and other people. There is no study more effective than astrology in facilitating self-understanding. Mythic Astrology will soon show you why.

I like this one only for the charts in the back. It's much easier to look up dates and times than other books I have had. I use it for that, really, and research other things. It came with cards and junk, but I never pissed with them.
