Mapping Your Birthchart

I found this work easy to use, understand and install on my computer. This work is an excellent resource for the beginner or the advanced practitioner of astrology. I learned things I never knew about my horoscope especially the sidereal aspect of my sign. I would recommend this book and CD to anyone interested in casting their birth chart and it makes an excellent addition to the occult library.

Mapping Your Birthchart

Mapping Your Birthchart: Understanding Your Needs and Potential. Stephanie Jean Clement, Ph.D. Llewellyn Publications, 2003. 228pp.The birthchart is like a map that when understood can explain much about someone's personality . If you don't know how to read a chart it can seem like a foreign language jumbled in a circle. The book Mapping Your Birthchart by Stephanie Jean Clement, Ph.D. teaches how to interpret a chart. It includes an array of good information about astrology. There are only a few concepts that weren't explained as thoroughly as they could have been.In comparison to many of the astrology books on the market, Clement uncovered more astrology concepts than the usual sign and planet correlation found in most astrology books I've read. It describes concepts such as houses, transits, and aspects, as well as how to find them in a chart. There are also sample charts included to aid in teaching as well as exercises for practice at the end of each chapter, as would be seen in a textbook.In reading this book I found some of the writing to be a bit mystifying. Some of the concepts weren't presented in a way that could be comprehended by everyone. She jumped from one concept to the next before really explaining very thoroughly what the first one was all about. Which left me with little information and not as familiarized with the topic as I would like. There was more of an overview of difficult topics such as transits and aspects rather than a fully developed explanation.The book was very thorough in teaching how to read a birthchart. It included explanations for the symbols found in the chart as well as the meanings behind planet and sign correlations. Included was also full paragraphs giving insight to key personality traits according to the reading of your chart. After reading this book I am now able to look at a birthchart and see many key factors about a person rather than a jumbled mess of symbols. Her goal in teaching people how to read a birthchart was definitely accomplished. I would definitely recommend this book to those that look at a birthchart with perplexity.Review by Blair Odenthal-Assistant EditorWitches Voice Magazine.

Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!!!

This book and CD-ROM has totally helped me to understand both the rather complicated Astrological reports and the planetary associations within each house. The CD-ROM is user friendly and also quite excellent. (The information on your Natal Chart is mirrored within the book.....but they are both of equal value in effectiveness and efficiency!) Highly recommended for the newbie or for getting to know your friends and family better! Excellent.....buy this book!
