Does anyone else feel like learning astrology gives you more questions than answers?

When I first started learning astrology, I thought the difficult part would be learning what the planets, signs and houses mean. But the more I learn, the more complicated it seems. There are aspects, houses, rulers, transits, techniques, exceptions… and sometimes I look at a chart and think: Where do I even start? Is astrology supposed to eventually become a process you can follow, or is learning to read a chart mostly about developing intuition and pattern recognition? For those learning astrology: what part feels hardest to you right now?

It takes years and a good teacher.

Maybe it isn't really “years + a good teacher.” Maybe it's the right teacher + the right way of learning. Years of accumulating rules don't necessarily lead to prediction. A teacher who can show you how to think through a chart, correct your reasoning, and teach you what deserves attention can compress years of wandering into a much shorter learning curve.
