FIVE BEST BOOKS FOR BEGINNERS
Would you like to learn Astrology but confused about where to start?
If you search online for the best books on astrology, you are bound to get long lists of books that may or may not be helpful for you on your quest to learn the starting concepts of astrology.
When learning about astrology, it is helpful to have one go-to book on the subject to use as a reference. So many books have been written on the subject. You can find quite a few astrological books that delve deeper into charts, houses, planets, and predictive astrology, but when you need one good resource that covers most of the concepts in an introductory way, that long list online may seem not really useful.
Have you already bought a few books but found it too difficult? In that case, I offer an intensive online course in which you can learn astrology step by step with my written material and explicatory videos.
There are five really good books overall that offer an introduction to astrology.
