In ABC Basic Chart Reading, well-known astrologer Lynne Palmer has created the ideal guide to chart reading for students at all levels as well as practicing astrologers. Using harmonious and discordant aspects in combination with the houses, house rulers, and planets, she explains and simplifies the steps involved in reading and interpreting any chart. By combining all of these factors while using her step-by-step method, you can easily gain insight into the individual. ABC Basic Chart Reading includes extensive lists of people, events, situations, and traits associated with each house and planet. In addition, the chapter on planets has descriptions that express both the higher and lower vibrations of each planet's energy. Using these planetary descriptions, which are divided into two categories (harmonious and discordant), you'll find it easy to identify the many factors that describe the individual, and to take your chart interpretation skills to a new level of excellence.
