If you are just beginning to study astrology and are looking for a book with ALL the basics, this is a great start. I always recommend this book to starters. I am deep into astrology and when my friends ask me how to begin, I tell them this book without hesitation. I have a library of books on the subject and I love many of them - although, if I were to pick one book to help one begin learning astrology, this is the one. However, when one becomes advanced with astrology this book leaves many questions unanswered. For example, it does not go in depth about retrogrades, nodes, or the part of fortune. Someone else mentioned Schulman and I 100% agree that he goes in depth with books on EACH of these subjects for the advanced astrologer.

I Purcased this book nearly 5 years ago at a friends recommendation and have found the book to be consistantly & extremely accurate! I dont draw charts and am not an in depth Astrological follower, but I do like the simplicity and variety of the information. Friends who are normally non believers in Astrology are often impressed by the accuracy as well. It is the only Astrology book I own. I highly recommend it!

As a beginner in the mysterious area of Astrology, I was faced with many different titles to choose from when buying an introductory book on the subject. I was convinced the minute I saw the title, "The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need" that it was the one for me, being only a teen ager and not able to come by the funds to regularly purchase such books. I started reading it even before I left the store and was quickly claimed by it's messages. True, it was probably the only astrology book I will ever need, but it deepened my thirst for more such books. I now own quite a few Astrology titles, but when in doubt or preparing a horoscope for anyone, I always resort back to my trusted only book that I need. It includes sections critically explaining each sun sign, moon sign, planet signs, how each sign gets along with the others, and easy to use charts in the back so you can be able to construct your own and other's charts with the book's helpful instructions. In short, "The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need" is a worthwhile investment if you are not that well equipped with funds and are approaching the subject of astrology with no real background information on it. It can be found anywhere, and it is a good idea to look through this book when thinking about learning about the field of Astrology.
