While Carter said he intended this book for “beginners”, he didn’t quite mean that. While he does spin you through the basic signs & houses, while he tells you how to construct a chart (both north and south of the equator), if you’ve already grasped that, you’ll be prepared for the amazing details, the practical, hard-won, sharply observed things that you simply won’t find anywhere else. Open the book anywhere & you’ll be surprised.
