Books like The Inner Sky: How to Make Wiser Choices for a More Fulfilling Life

This is one of several books that I always recommend to people who tell me they are interested in learning Astrology because it is fun and easy to read, while also being filled with delightful and relevant information. It bears noting that the original subtitle of The Inner Sky was "The Dynamic New Astrology for Everyone" and that was probably a more accurate description than the newer "How to Make Wiser Choices for a More Fulfilling Life" currently used in the book title. This is NOT a self-help pop psychology book, as the newer title would have you believe. While some readers may indeed gain knowledge that will allow them to 'make wiser choices for a more fulfilling life' (results may vary, depending on the individual reader), this book is actually just a well organized, clearly written introduction to the symbolic/archetypal language known as Astrology. The first half of The Inner Sky describes in depth each of the various elements that make up this symbolic language - the zodiacal signs, planets, houses, and aspects used in astrology. Once the reader has acquired a basic understanding of these fundamental concepts, they can begin what will likely be the life-long practice of chart synthesize using as a 'starter kit' the excellent analysis guidelines offered by Forrest in the latter half of the book. The Inner Sky is a perfect 'textbook' for those who want to learn the basic fundamentals of natal Astrology and chart interpretation and analysis, while also learning about they way they and others 'tick'. Highly recommended for newbie, beginner, and intermediate astrologers.
