Hi! I really like some of the resources on the internet for learning about astrology.Astrodienst (www.astro.com) is a great resource, with introductory and more advanced guides to understanding astrology. Best of all, if you click on "free horoscopes" and have an exact time, place and date of birth, you can quickly draw up a birth chart and then use the different tools on the site to analyze it and your transits.
My recommendation for a beginner would be to go to the New York Public Library and get a giant pile of different books from the astrology section, and then use them in conjunction with Astrodienst. You'll see how different astrologers interpret aspects very differently, but you'll be able to explore general themes, like what the different signs, planets, houses and aspects mean.
Also, search around the Lindaland archives...there have been some good book recommendation threads in the past.
