This tutorial is part of a larger site, The Wandering Hermit, which includes a free tutorial on how to read tarot cards, a poetry section, and several other sections. This astrology section is only one of six parts of the full site (which includes information on psychic consultations if you live in the Richmond, VA area).

Introduction Unlike the tutorial "Learning the Tarot," in the Tarot section on this website, this is not intended as a full guide to astrology. Astrology is a complex field, with uncountable subtle intricacies and influences. It takes at least a book to cover a basic course in astrology, or what I would call Astrology 101. This is a very simple, very basic introduction to astrology. The course is broken down into parts: 1) Introduction to Astrology and Background Learning astrology is not as painful as many people think, but it is also not as easy as falling off a log. Although there is much that is logical and makes sense, it is also necessary to just flat out memorize a lot of information. If you proceed with this tutorial, by the end of Part Four you will be able to do a simple reading of a birth chart. This will be enough for you to know whether you like astrology and want to learn more or if it is not a subject you want to pursue. You will also, by the end of Part Four, be able to do basic readings. You will be able to look at your own chart and compare it to what you know of your life and you will be able to do simple readings for friends. Remember, though, this tutorial only covers the basics. Although more information is included in Part Five (Even More) there is still much more to learn. It will also give you enough information to help you evaluate astrology books and decide which ones seem to present information in a way you can learn. In fairness, I feel I should also point out I am not a professional astrologer. Although I am a professional psychic consultant, I do tarot and intuitive/channeled consultations. I often use astrological charts in my consultations, but only as an aid. Although I could give consultations from astrological charts, when a client is paying me, I don't feel I can provide as complete a consultation with astrology as I can through my preferred modes of consultation. (That has nothing to do with astrology and everything to do with what skills I do and don't have.) I am writing and posting this tutorial to help people get started in astrology. After reading and learning the material in this tutorial, you will know enough to be able to guide yourself as you study more in astrology. If you find this tutorial helpful, you can download it. I've supplied archives in DOS text, Word Perfect (versions 7/8/9), and in .pdf format, which can be used with the free Adobe Acrobat reader, found at www.adobe.com (look under products).

Sorry for the nasty legal talk, but it's necessary to make sure people don't take my work and make it into their profit. This tutorial is intended to spread knowledge, but not to help others increase their wealth at my expense. There is no monetary cost for this tutorial, either online, or the download version. I do ask, though, that you send me e-mail ( denvid@thewanderinghermit.com ) or a post card (Peter Denvid Wright, P.O. Box 3571, Richmond, VA 23235) to let me know this has helped you learn astrology. I am, among other things, a writer, and I would like to know when my work helps people. And now, with all that out of the way, let's go on and learn astrology!
