We now have some books in the file section, including Dynamics of Aspect Analysis, but unfortunately, the files cannot be uploded unless they are very small. One book that is easily available and can be downloaded from many sites is 'The Only Way to Learn Astrology' by Marion D. March and Joan McEvers. This book comes in three volumes and makes it easier for those of you who are new to astrology, to understand the basics. I read these books many years ago.
Bear in mind, many of the interpretations are way off. Most authors write *about* astrology, but use theory in regards to limited understanding of the planets and such. Much of my own knowledge has come from years of study and also case studies and learning from knowing those whose charts I did and also the lives of noted people. Astro charts of noted people can be found all over the web. Reading biographies and comparing the chart in both personality and events helps.
Astrology is the most difficult and detailed of all the occult disciplines. Each chart is as individual as one's own fingerprints. There are endless details in regards to astrology. One bit of advice...don't take anything you read in an astrology book as fact until you know for sure. I have read more crap over the years that was totally wrong in astrology books.
For example, with a biography case of a noted person...I have seen many books out there where the author writes about certain patterns of planets, configurations and such, but the interpretations are nothing but nonsense and doubletalk. In other words...they don't know.
Take for instance movie star Marilyn Monroe. She had a very tragic childhood. Her mother went insane when Marilyn was 5 years old. She never had a family and she never knew her father. From the age of five, she was shuffled back and forth from orphanages to foster families where they only took her in during the depression for the bit of extra money that came with her. No one wanted her and she lived her life with deep emotional scars from this.
Her chart has Saturn in the fourth [very common with family issues, especially emotional, being unwanted, abused and neglected by the amily, if there is a family; also problems with the mother as the mother is ruled by the fourth]. Saturn in her chart is at the handle of a bucket configuration. The planet at the handle drives the entire chart, giving it extra power and emphasis in the life. Her Saturn is at 21 degrees of Scorpio, indicating loss, so here it is easy to see there was no family, and an absent mother. This Saturn also tightly squared her moon, amplifying problems regarding the mother. Scorpio on the cusp of the 4th, with ruling pluto tightly conjunct the cusp of the twelfth, adds further emphasis on the above, and co-ruling mars [mars co-rules scorpio with chart interpretation], in the eighth house, conjunct uranus of separation shows an absent mother. As the conjuntion is in the eighth house, the feelings about this run deep. When you get
all of this, the life has been fated for some reason.
Planets in the twelfth house are often unfortunate.
Another case, one of a man whose chart I did years ago, he had the bucket configuration. The same goes with the sling and the fan, as there is a standout planet that is away from the rest. He had Jupiter in Aries as the singleton planet. This man was incredibly selfish and a total user to the point where his family disowned him. Jupiter in Aries is always selfish, but when it is at the 'handle' of a bucket, fan, or sling configuration, its effects are much more pronounced.
I will try to give tips and lessons here as my time permits.
