WinkAway Knowflake Posts: 1575 From: here, there & everywhere Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 10, 2010 04:14 PM Just curious when you all fell in love with Astrology...? For me it was 5th grade. My teacher went into the different planets and how they all played a part in our universe. Then one day she brought in one of those light things.. to where you turn the lights off in the room and the globe reflects the stars onto the ceiling and walls. It amazed me. We learned about the different zodiac signs, etc. I LOVED that part of 5th grade. Then when I got to be in high school, sometimes I'd ride my bike to the band shell at night and sit inside the band shell. It was my alone time to think about things. I'd sit there and stare at the stars and the moon. For some reason it made everything so much clearer. Gave me a sense of peace. But I don't know half as much as I'd like to about astrology. I seriously need to buy a book on it. Is there such a book as "A Dummy's guide to Astrology?" LOL. IP: Logged

It's easy to understand and very insightful with regards to basic sun sign characteristics etc. ------------------ quote: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson IP: Logged
WinkAway Knowflake Posts: 1575 From: here, there & everywhere Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 28, 2010 05:44 PM Thanks charmainec... Do you know if there's a book that more or less tells how to look at a chart by the basics? For us beginners? I've looked on a couple of websites, but right when I think I'm getting it....I get lost lol. IP: Logged

Cancer/Scorpio729 Moderator Posts: 1452 From: 6,000 feet above sea level Registered: Feb 2010	posted July 22, 2010 08:42 PM I have one from the KISS series, kind of like an "Astrology for dummies" book. It's not all that great, but explains the basics of chart-making pretty well and has a section in the back that already has planet positions done for you from years 1950-200. ------------------ Echoes fade and memories die: Autumn frosts have slain July Still she haunts me, phantomwise, Alice moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes - Lewis Carrol, Alice in Wonderland IP: Logged
charmainec Moderator Posts: 4247 From: Venus next to Randall Registered: Apr 2009	posted July 23, 2010 09:37 AM Wink there is a dummies guide to astrology lol I saw it the other day in a book store On a more serious note I would recommend Parkers Astrology for beginners (see what you did, you made me dig through my piles of books ) This book is great because it explains the basics and how to set up a chart as well as calculations, the planet tables, aspects and their meanings just everything! Oh and pretty pics too! Hope that helps ------------------ quote: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson IP: Logged

LOL. there's about a million books on basics of astrology i've seen "the complete idiot's guide to astrology" which gets pretty in-depth if you want to go past the basics. i was about 10 when i got into astrology too, it's been kind of my reputation as the "horoscope girl" since then, all through out middle and high school, lol. whenever i would make a new friend or meet someone interesting, i would always ask their birthday and they probably thought i was weird IP: Logged

She has an amazing charm and I thank her so much for making me fall head over heels in love with astrology All her books are amazing You can feel the friendliness just emanate out of her books! ------------------ Capricorn Sun, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Ascendant Libra Moon :) IP: Logged

Desiring Shadows Knowflake Posts: 569 From: UNITED STATES, BABY Registered: Jan 2012	posted April 11, 2012 03:00 PM My first love stemmed back when people did MySpace. I saw on my profile. It said "Libra" and I didn't know what the word "Libra" meant. Then I thought "What?" and visited friends profiles, they had it too. To my amazement, I searched its meaning and haven't stopped ever since. I LOVE Astrology and am absolutely obsessed! <3 I think I'm in love with it too, because my throat gets dry and my heart beats fast whenever anyone brings it up. ----------------------------- Libra sun,mercury,venus, Moon Sagittarius, Mars Scorpio, Ascendant Gemini IP: Logged
