Sup tntea....I must admit, astrology is not very easy, I want to tell u to just buy some books (a LOT of reading involved, but Virgo's love to read....as i do respectfully) but some don't have the patience.
One site i visit often is www.astrology.com , u can get free sample charts and sometimes they give free readings....more of a ordering site, not more so on actually teaching u much, but should help down the road.
If u want to get serious about it, u should take the time to remember the different signs for the planets and birth signs, that took me about of month....and get the courage to ask people for the birthdays and birth times so u can practice....try to guess their signs (if your meeting someone new) by looking at their facial features (ex. Leo's have bigger then average noses), you would be SURPRISED on how accurate their lives are to the actuall reading. Astrology dosn't make a person's life so don't think you know them because u read the readings, it kinda just sums it up.....different books have slightly different ways of explaning a combonation in a chart, not that big of a difference.
Peace & Beyond
