TWELVE EASY LESSONS FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS | 1. INTRODUCTION, THE PLANETS

"This series of posts for beginners is dedicated to my friend, Wren.
Since the incep­tion of this blog in the autumn of last year, I haven’t been very kind to begin­ners. I’ve tend to just plow into apply­ing tech­niques from the early strata of the tra­di­tion with­out much hand-holding. In my own defense, there are astrologers out there who are doing a good job of pre­sent­ing intro­duc­tory and ref­er­ence mate­r­ial, and I’ve referred peo­ple to them. I highly rec­om­mend Ben Dykes’ Intro­duc­tions to Tra­di­tional Astrol­ogy as a ref­er­ence work and Chris Brennan’s afford­able Intro­duc­tion to Hel­lenis­tic Astrol­ogy Course for gain­ing a good thor­ough under­stand­ing of the foun­da­tional tech­niques, their his­tory, and the philo­soph­i­cal ques­tions they pose.

Appar­ently there is still a strong need for a quick and dirty intro­duc­tion to pre-Medieval ancient astrol­ogy. In this series of posts, I hope to present things in such a way that even some­one with no prior expe­ri­ence with astrol­ogy will be able to very quickly start read­ing charts from a Hel­lenis­tic per­spec­tive, under­stand any arti­cle on this site, and start explor­ing pri­mary source material."
