Description
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.

Brian O’Sullivan –
This book is great at making concise and digestible concepts that are apparently dense and heady such as dignities and elemental qualities. It is particularly successful in detailing them and the rationale and logic behind them in way that is very clear and easy to follow for students of traditional astrology in the earlier stages. As a result, I personally have learned and clarified a lot with the more technical concepts given in just the right-size doses in a book that is easy to read and hard to put down. I have really enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it to someone who is beginning to study traditional astrology, or even more so, to someone who already has some knowledge of traditional astrology but would like the reassurance of further clarification or even simplification of these concepts. I have certainly felt a lot more confident and grounded in my understanding of dignities and elemental qualities as a result of reading it.
