Astrology Made Easy by Yasmin Boland

A Guide to Understanding Your Birth Chart

Ever wondered what your birth chart has to say about you?

Astrology Made Easy by award-winning astrologer and bestselling author Yasmin Boland is an accessible introduction to natal astrology, designed to take you beyond the familiar world of Sun signs and into the fascinating details of a complete birth chart.

Rather than simply telling you what your star sign means, Yasmin guides you through the different pieces that make up an astrological chart and, importantly, how those pieces work together.

What's inside?

The book is divided into three main sections, gradually building your understanding of astrology.

Part I – The Basics of Astrology introduces the foundations, including:

• What astrology is and how it works

• Understanding your birth chart

• The twelve zodiac signs

• The planets and their meanings

• The angles

• The astrological houses

• Your Ascendant or Rising Sign

Part II – Going Deeper explores some of the more detailed elements of a chart, including:

• Degrees, aspects and orbs

• Aspect and chart patterns

• Retrograde planets

• The Moon's Nodes

Part III – Putting It All Together helps you begin interpreting what you've learned, with sections covering:

• An introduction to chart reading

• An "astrological cookbook" for bringing the different elements together

• Love, money and other areas of life reflected in your chart

• Predictive astrology

The book also explains how to create and understand a personalised birth chart, helping you explore the talents, challenges and patterns represented by your planetary placements.
