ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m interested in studying astrology, but I don’t have the money to invest in lessons. I’ve been a faithful reader for years, and would love some insight. Do you have any easy ‘home grown’ methods I could use to start learning?

The one thing that separates a professional astrologer from a novice is that the pro has the facts at his or her fingertips at all times. On a daily basis, an astrologer will consult an ephemeris, which lists the planetary placements of the sun, moon, planets and their relationships to one another. The expert has these facts so infused in his or her daily living that they are able to apply astrology without giving it a second thought. Here’s how you can do this, too. Make your own astrological calendar. An ephemeris of the year costs about five dollars and can be purchased at any new age bookstore. Get a weekly calendar. Start by marking the days of the new moons and full moons. Mark the day that is six months from your birthday, three months before your birthday, and three months after your birthday. These are all lucky-energy days. As you become more familiar with reading the ephemeris, you can mark you other special days in the calendar. Learning about astrology by using it firsthand is the easiest way to work up an appetite for astrological knowledge. Good luck!
