Counseling Astrology Workbook for Intermediate and Advanced Students
To be thorough in our work on a chart, it must be studied in full before the consultation. There is a way to read a chart (delineation). That is of great importance because many themes in a person’s life will be repeated after the study is completed. We don’t want to miss these important themes as they will be the foundation of all the questions the client will ask. Equal attention is paid to houses, planets, signs, and aspects.
These books are essential to always have by your side until you have memorized the important connections. If you get more difficult and complex books, you might miss the very simple messages, but also the most important messages in a chart.
The following are the basic books. All others are more for advanced study, after you have absorbed and memorized the basics.
