Beschrijving

This book offers a practical yet thoughtful introduction to natal chart interpretation in astrology. Schulman explains how various planetary positions, aspects and house placements can be understood not just as isolated symbols but as parts of a coherent “story” or “theme” in an individual’s horoscope. He emphasizes the importance of context, synthesis and intuitive reading rather than simply applying formulas.

Beyond basic descriptive work, the author explores how the concept of “harmony” applies in astrology — not harmony in the simplistic sense of “everything good” but rather the alignment or interplay of inner drives, external circumstances and growth potentials. Schulman shows how challenging aspects or tensions in the chart can still contribute to development when seen as part of a meaningful pattern.

Finally, the book is suitable for both beginners and intermediate students of astrology. It provides clear case examples, charts and commentary to practice with, while also encouraging the reader to cultivate a deeper understanding of the chart as a symbolic microcosm. In that way it bridges technical skill and intuitive depth.
