Since the dawn of civilisation people have measured time against the movements of the heavenly bodies above them, and seen in them a reflection of life here on earth. From its origins in predicting the outcome of battles, and the success or failure of annual crops, astrology has evolved into rich and subtle language that, once learnt, gives us a new perspective on areas of human experience as diverse as our own personality and motivations, our career-potential, relationships, and wider subjects such as business, politics and even fashion.

In this beginner's guide, Graham Boston explores how astrology can enable us to understand ourselves, other people and our relationships more fully. In a series of simple and practical steps he describes how to draw up and then interpret a birthchart, the map of the heavens that is the basis of the astrologer's art. He also shows how you can use computer software and now the Internet to do the job for you!
