To be honest I have never heard of this book before so I cant say my opinion about it, but the most recommended books for beginners I have seen are:
> Astrology: Using the Wisdom of the Stars in Your Everyday Life
> The Complete Guide to Astrology: Understanding Yourself, Your Signs, and Your Birth Chart
You might also want to just start researching it online if you are not sure astrology is your thing, and just start being more serious about it once you already like the subject
