Most text-books, including the one for which I am personally responsible, are mainly of an analytical character and do not attempt to guide the reader far along the path that leads to proficiency in Horoscopic delineation.

This book is designed to follow The Principles of Astrology and may be read in conjunction with The Astrological Aspects and The Encyclopaedia of Psychological Astrology.
This is what I have attempted here, illustrating my ideas in separate chapters that deal with important classes of psychological condition.
No one can make a student into a good delineator, and, on the other hand, almost anyone with moderate teaching ability can inculcate the alphabet of astrology: between these two extremes there is a field wherein, I think, experience can help inexperience and Some general Principles can be formulated and explained.
However, there seems to me to be a sort of border-land that lies beyond the realms of purely text-book teaching and yet is within the scope of instruction.
It comes with experience, if the student have the right inborn aptitudes; that is all that can be said.
Delineation is an art and it cannot be taught as one teaches merely factual knowledge.
In fact, few attempts have been made to attack this problem, and for a good reason-it is so difficult.
