“Concentrating solely on Signs and Houses makes total sense, and it’s fun, too. Alison’s casual and entertaining style of writing takes the reader by the hand and allays any fears of a supposedly complex subject. What you get is in-depth knowledge of the twelve zodiac signs, including polarities, elements, and qualities, plus the workings and meanings of the two main axes, quadrants, and twelve houses in the chart. As an introduction to astrology, this is a great book.”
