It really is not do-it-yourself Astrology. You'll find quite a few indexes and tables that calculate the position all the planets were in at the time of your birth, which in turn tells you your, Moon sign, Mars sign, Venus sign etc, all of which sheds some light on the complexities of you.
These tables and indexes are now easy to come by with the use of smart phones and tablets. Making this then valuable feature obsolete. Unless of course you find yourself not owning a device that can connect to the Internet at your whim. These cumbersome tables are valuable.
I gave this book three stars because I appreciated and am satisfied with the explanations and descriptions it offers regarding the different aspects of Astrology. This I see as it's re-deeming quality, why it has a spot on my bookshelf, digitally and physically.
A very in-depth study of your birth chart and how it compares to your relationships with other people. A lot to contemplate with this one... I liked it.
