"Louise aimed to bring the stars down to earth and she hit her mark! A rare offering that combines breadth and depth with clear and concise writing. It’s been a long time since a fresh, accessible, and comprehensive ‘introduction to astrology book’ has been published for current and future generations. This book is a welcome addition to anyone’s astrology library. I will be recommending it to my students!"—Patricia Walsh, Astrologer and Author of Understanding Karmic Complexes: Evolutionary Astrology and Regression Therapy

"Louise Edington’s contribution to astrological literature is unique for many reasons, one of which is that it is not gender biased. Her interpretations are important to introduce good astrology to new readers AND are also eye-opening to the elder astrologer, who may now feel comfortable introducing astrology to friends and young people. Well done, Louise!"—Erin Sullivan, Contemporary Archetypal Astrologer, consultant, teacher, and author of Saturn in Transit, Retrograde Planets, The Astrology of Midlife and Aging, and more

"Like anyone who really knows their way around a subject, Louise is able to describe the subtle aspects of astrology using simple and evocative language. In these pages the fundamental building blocks of astrology are unfolded with love, care, and beautiful clarity.
