Introduction to Traditional Natal Astrology:
A Complete Working Guide for Modern Astrologers

 It is clear, well-written, and interesting in addition to being a true textbook. If you’re also toying with traditional astrology, I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Absolutely superb!

 Obert succeeds wonderfully in his purpose to “present traditional astrology in an organized, approachable and workable way.” I am not the only one who loves this book. Introduction to Traditional Natal Astrology is a required textbook at Kepler College for a course on delineation techniques.
