Literally the BEST intro book for Astrology!!!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 4, 2011

Verified Purchase

OMG! I am not a beginner in Astro, but after having one of my instructors read from Tompkins's "The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook" I KNEW it was special.

So I went ahead and ordered a copy. I am so glad I did; it is a refreshingly direct and non-fluffy (but still positive and uplifting and very accurate) book. The sign descriptions are full of life and understanding - you really understand the "point" of each sign. It takes a while of study to understand the implications of each sign, whether emotional, psychological or evolutionary - but Tompkins really hits the nail on the head encompassing all of these!

There is a brilliant section where she very briefly describes sign oppositions and why they may not be so compatible. It REALLY cements understanding.

The same applies to the planets, houses, aspects, math, etc. Just amazing! It is my real reference if I ever want to refresh on my foundations.

GET THIS BOOK! PERFECT FOR ALL LEVELS!!

The Best...This book is a MUST-HAVE.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 18, 2010

If I could only one Astrology book... this book would be it! Not only is it loaded with useful, precise information, but the author's casual communication style is easily absorbed.

Also, If I am not sure about something, I think 'what does Sue say?' and I go to this book for explanation.
I trust it.

My only complaint is that it should have been produced in hardcover. My book is wearing out. (Some pages are getting loose.)

Sue if you ever read this review: 'Please get your books produced in hardcover. They are worth it!'

Brilliant! A must buy

Sue Tompkins is an amazing women, a true visionary.
This book and the "Aspects of Astrology" written before this one completely compliment each other. This book was an absolute must for anyone starting out or already well aquainted in the area of astrology.
She has all the skills, academic knowledge & complete professionalism required.
She is a pioneer in her field.
A book that it again easy to follow & one that will be referred to repeatedly through ones ownership.
As her other book "Aspects of Astrology" is ....A must buy.

The book was fine. Good condition but it was not new. It had yellow highlighted sections throughout which someone had done (very neatly) with a yellow highlighter pen!
