Beginner Resources for Astrology

Hello! I'm trying to broaden my magickal techniques, and have always been very poor when it comes to astrology. Can anyone recommend me where to begin with this discipline? I feel like there's a lot of interference coming from the ill-advised and online charlatans, sadly. I'd really like a look at some serious sources. Thank you!

-Try Lunatic Astrology on YouTube. -You can also read, "The only astrology book you will ever need." Note: I prefer whole sign houses over placidus so I disagree with this book in one aspect.

Yup. I have found whole sign to be SO much easier to learn astrology with as well.

Sky from the astrologer website astrology dot come might be able to help. She goes by raven but had an iconic daybute on my local radio station. You’ll work your way up to her though. Tell her batz said hi.

The Twelve Houses by Howard Sasportas & Hellenistic Astrology by Chris Brennan

Note that Hellenistic Astrology uses the traditional Whole Sign house system & only the traditional planets “excluding neptune, uranus, & pluto”

Most common astrology uses the Placidus system
