ForewordI have always been baffled by the aura of complexity and mystery which seems to surround the issue of learning astrology. 'I couldn't possibly absorb all that!' or 'I'd love to be able to work out a birth chart but it looks far too involved for me' - these are typical of the comments I have heard repeatedly throughout the many years of my teaching experience in astrology.It's not surprising, however, when you glance at some of the textbooks available on the subject - all excellent books in their own right - to find that few of them cater for the average person who would like to learn about astrology for their own interest, rather than to study over a period of several years, take a diploma, and become a professional astrologer.It is in this respect that my book differs. For those of you who would like to leam astrology without too much effort or mathematical genius, this book in indispensable. Using my own simple system of guidance, most students can erect a birth chart and understand the basic principles of interpretation after only ten lessons. Much of the laborious mathematical calculation has been eliminated - but for those who baulk at the minimal amount of mathematics required, there are many good computer chart calculation services offered nowadays. The only details required are date, place and time of birth.Although the course is simplified, high standards of accuracy are adhered to. The main criterion in erecting a birth chart is the time of birth, but the precise moment of birth is not easily defined. Is it our first breath, or is it the actual moment we emerge from the womb? There is always some discrepancy - a factor which tends to defeat the objective of the fanatical astrologer who insists upon working out the birth chart from the exact minute and second of birth! Interpretation is the most important consideration in astrology, and good interpretative readings do not depend upon precise mathematical calculations. It does not matter how long you take to complete this Course, but even if you spend a whole month on each lesson you will have finished in ten months, which is less than half the time it takes to complete a typical diploma course! Good luck in your endeavours.
