What is/was the hardest part of learning astrology for you?
I had a tough time learning about the degrees of the zodiac. It took me years to understand how aspects work in a natal chart. I had to learn the hard way that you have to understand the degrees in order to understand the aspects! Very confusing!
@ icecream Got to agree with you as I am looking for a no nonsense site with the bottom line solid and genuine. And understandable! Keep looking plz.
@Libra Empress Since you figured out Aquarius will you explain "me" to "me?" lol We Aquarius folks are different that's for sure. And there are astrologers that specialize in finding House Positions for those without an exact birth time but they are expensivie. Ch-ching for sure. LIke you I studied my signs first too. You can glean alot of information without "proper" house cusps.
@ Serenity the books I read are still being used today although I know there are plenty of new books on astrology out there. My 2nd husband sold my books but that is when I began to have my "own" opinion about astrological meanings. Very freeing.
@ Intensified Moon you amaze me as I HAD to learn to do the calculations for "drawing" a natal chart over 30 yrs ago.. I just followed the ephermeris directions but had no clue what I was actually doing, but was able to make a chart that was correct. So to heck with the math. I too am working on the interpretation as "making sentences" was hard for me big-time. Would have skipped that math if at all possible as it was like Cracking the DaVinci Code to me! Except it was HARDER! lol
@ Forgotten- That is exactly what I want to do but not sure exactly "how" to go about teaching others in a simple non-confusing way about what took me so long to learn. Would like to set up a blog or something and explain SIMPLY what so many enshroud in archaic language as if they DON'T want one to understand. Good point and any ideas would be gratefully appreciated. Because I too memorized all the details but putting them all together in an understandable way is the "true art" of astrology. Thanks for your input so much.

Yes that was confusing me for the longest time too! I always wondered whether it was the degrees of the planets or the placement of the planets in their houses.
I still think that synthesizing all the information together in a chart is hard.
Edit: You should start a blog! Your insight would be great!

More people would actually understand astrology if they took the same approach that I did. Most people are so all over the place. I learned what each thing meant then one day it just all clicked together. I can actually read a chart. Most people can't. I would choose not to have learned it at all if that were possible. It is impossible to truly understand other people. They are mostly irrational. Astrology is interesting but ultimately a waste of time.

The hardest was understanding other zodiac signs their nature. I used to find Aquarius really confusing but now i have worked them out ;-)
I dont know my exact birth time so i dont get degrees and all that at all. So i just go by what i do know my dominate placements. I would love to know my full chart but im having trouble getting my birth time.

8 The hardest part for me was the erection of a chart. The math was excruciating! Now there are sites that do all the math so I can concentrate on the human part of the chart.

You know what I didn't know that. Hmm :-/ do you recommend any books on that? Or a web source? And for me when it's how to read a synastry o_O
