Here is a complete, easy-to-follow course that provides a solid foundation for anyone who is interested in practicing astrology quickly and with confidence. In a single volumn, it provides the core concepts and techniques that form the basis of truly understanding the birth chart.

Many books written for the novice astrologer fail to deliver due to oversimplification, lack of focus, overreaching, or plain obscurity. The most common problem, though, is that even though the writer may be a good astrologer, he or she is not necessarily a good teacher!

As this book proves,Kevin Burk is both. This beginning to intermediate-level book is based on a course taught to prepare students for the NCGR Level I Astrological Certification exam. More than an astrological phrase book or cookbook, it aims to help students understand the language of astrology-concepts, not keywords. Only then does it shift to teaching how to work with these basics to interpret a birth chart. Finally all the interpretive factors are brought together in a full interpretation of several famous charts.

Kevin Burk holds a level IV NGGR certification in astrological counseling and has practiced astrology in the San Diego area since 1993. His website(www.astro-horoscopes.com)has won several internet awards for design and content, and has hosted more than 700,000 visitors since its inception.
