Literally the BEST intro book for Astrology!!!,

This review is from: The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook (Paperback)
OMG! I am not a beginner in Astro, but after having one of my instructors read from Tompkins's "The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook" I KNEW it was special.So I went ahead and ordered a copy. I am so glad I did; it is a refreshingly direct and non-fluffy (but still positive and uplifting and very accurate) book. The sign descriptions are full of life and understanding - you really understand the "point" of each sign. It takes a while of study to understand the implications of each sign, whether emotional, psychological or evolutionary - but Tompkins really hits the nail on the head encompassing all of these! There is a brilliant section where she very briefly describes sign oppositions and why they may not be so compatible. It REALLY cements understanding. The same applies to the planets, houses, aspects, math, etc. Just amazing! It is my real reference if I ever want to refresh on my foundations. GET THIS BOOK! PERFECT FOR ALL LEVELS!!

The Best...This book is a MUST-HAVE.,
This review is from: The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook (Paperback)
If I could only one Astrology book... this book would be it! Not only is it loaded with useful, precise information, but the author's casual communication style is easily absorbed.Also, If I am not sure about something, I think 'what does Sue say?' and I go to this book for explanation. I trust it. My only complaint is that it should have been produced in hardcover. My book is wearing out. (Some pages are getting loose.) Sue if you ever read this review: 'Please get your books produced in hardcover. They are worth it!'

An up to date manual,
By Lemich Drakkar "porphyrus" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook (Paperback)
Sometimes, even if you are an experienced and skilled astrologer, you need a good basic textbook which delineates the underpinning or our art. Why? To compare its content with those of similar books edited 10 to 20 years ago: it allows to graps if the field and its tools of analysis has evolved and progressed.Yes, the book of Sue fills this need and I may recommend it to novice and skilled astrologers; it is convenient to study it in deep, and to have it on your bookshelf, even if a great part of its content can be found in others didactic published documentations. By the way, did our understanding of astrology evolve tremendously? Not sure.... 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook (Paperback)
I've been seriously studying astrology for the last twenty years and have read most of the books. This book by Sue Tompkins along with her other one Aspects in Astrology is a must to have on your bookshelf. Particularly 'Aspects in Astrology'. This one, 'The Contemporary Astrologers Handbook', has a lot of the basics and very good on the planetary energy house interpretations. I liked her house interpretation which is a departure from the usual cook book styles seen written on the same subject. She is a great writer it has helped me understand on deeper levels.
