How to be a Great Astrologer

The book “How to be a Great Astrologer,” written by James Braha and published in 1992, stands as useful contribution to the field of astrology, aimed at guiding both aspiring and experienced astrologers in the art of interpreting birth charts. Braha has also authored other works such as “Ancient Hindu Astrology for the Modern Western Astrologer” and “Astro-Logos, Language of Life,” shedding light on his deep understanding of astrology, its roots, and its applications. Braha’s “How to be a Great Astrologer” delves into the  interpretations of planetary influences within birth charts. The book is known for its straightforward and humble style, aiming to provide clear and practical guidance on astrological readings. The author wanted to make a resource that helps astrologers understand birth charts well, without adding extra stuff or complicated theories. Although the book is often compared to a “cookbook” for astrology because it’s practical and systematic, it goes beyond this by exploring in-depth the interpretation of every aspect of a person’s birth chart.

Here is a quick summary of how Jupiter’s trine or sextile to Uranus works:

If Jupiter is trine or sextile Uranus, the person is an inspired lover of the truth. He is intelligent, original and occasionally brilliant. There is excellent judgement, a keen mind, and good philosophical depth. The person is open minded and individualistic. The person hates restrictions, rules and regulations. He champions the cause of freedom. Astrologer/author Robert de Luce had the Jupiter trine Uranus aspect within two degrees. How to Be a Great Astrologer: The Planetary Aspects Explained
