How did everyone become introduced to astrology and at what age?

I first started liking astrology when I was about 11. I remember I was at a used book fair with a friend and her mom and I found the book Love Signs. I picked it up and flipped through and sat down right there on the floor and began reading. Six years later, I still refer to it almost daily. Ever since then Astrology has grown to be a part of me. I keep wanting to learn more and more and more and more until there's nothing left to learn, but the wonderful thing about astrology is, there's always something new to learn!

Hi Sigourney!

I remember reading Linda Goodman's Sun Signs when I was 11 or 12 (that was a looong time ago, considering I'm 35 now).

Yes, Randall, Linda was my first, too.

It's heartening to know that young people are given a voice here in this forum. I hope I can be of help if ever any of you get stuck on something... about astrology or life in general. (I, too, was young once.)

Love and light!

Welcome kismetkaizen!

Well, I was hooked on astrology at @ 13, after my mother's friend gave me her old tattered copy of Sun Signs. I asked her if I could borrow it and she said I could keep it! Years later I moved onto Star Signs and took it with me everywhere, doing everyone's numerology . Then got Love Signs and eventually Gooberz. I can safely say, Linda's books are what started me on my spiritual journey. I was so hungry for more knowledge after reading Star Signs.
I have a feeling there are ALOT of people out there with similar stories!! Thank God(dess) for Linda.

Welcome Charisma!

My story is very much similar to 26's, except I was 17 at the time!
Before then I thought spirituality & Astrology was stupid! After I read Linda's books EVERYTHING in my life changed!

i got into it to because i was depressed. i wanted to know what the eff was wrong w/ me...i'm okay now, i understand myself and learned a lot from the past. i had a headache at first. i was like, why is this so complicated? lol it's all good though.

i used to obsessively look at my sun sign and of course, my "crush's," (this was in the eight grade) and then...later when i got into 10th grade i made a chart at astro.com.
