ZERO to ASTRO : Read a birth chart from scratch

Learning astrology is not only about predicting future. It is a whole capacity to look into someone’s past, present and future. But these is when a person becomes pro into it OR we can say when he acquires the skill set and essence of astrology.
YES, it takes time depending upon a person and things available to him.

Random Self Study VS This Course

Self Study - From my personal experiences, a person read books one after another, try to apply them on birth charts, and this process repeatedly goes on for months and for years until that person starts to make sense of astrological words and verses OR in other words starts to connect astrological facts and fundamental with real life situation. This is when he gets power of experience and wisdom of vision. But this takes time and a lot of dedication. In some or the many cases it even causes frustration, because this subject is wide and references can be tricky many of time, but are not mostly incorrect. It is just the matter of point of views.
So learning with a book takes time until you develop your mind, your self in the ways required to understand core secrets of astrology. Plus it also takes time to find right book

Under Guidance of this COURSE - One of main advantages in learning such sacred science under a guidance is - You get insights from the experiences of Guru or your mentor. You are benefited by him well developed and stable methodology. He tells you where to focus, hence minimising the distraction of getting lost into lots of informations. Because remember there is lot of information available on astrology, but the trick of how to and when to use it, is missing.
