Literally the BEST intro book for Astrology!!!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 4, 2011

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.

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!'

Excellent Astrology Book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2013

This is a great general book on astrology. It gives the basic/intermediate concepts of the Zodiacs, Planets, Astroids, Description of house with planets, and planetary combinations/aspects. I started reading this book with knowing little about Astrology. The book is not bias on what type of astrology charts to use or methods. There are no dates for the Zodiacs, so it is left to the reader to decide what they consider Aries, Taurus, etc. I have been studying from this book since I bought it about 5 months ago. I use it with all my other astrology books to check myself. I say this because certain authors are good at explaining other areas. So it is always a good idea to keep multiple books around when learning Astrology. You can learn to read personalities from the Natal chart with this book. Have patience when learning. The results are beautiful. This book is definitely contemporary.

I’ve read a lot of astrology books. I wish I had read this one first. It covers everything, accurately and coherently. Explanations are simple and straightforward. You won’t find a better general astrology book than this one. 5 stars all the way!

Another excellent book by Sue Tompkins! She's an excellent author and has a great sense of humor that comes through in her writing. She's VERY through, and that is one of the things I like about her and her perspective. I can't wait for her next book! I highly recommend this one, its an enjoyable read, and she's very articulate, concise and clear, every astrologer, no matter what their level can gain from her insights.
