You can DIY. You can check your chart here www.astro.com . They also offer some free readings, but it is much better if you use this site http://www.oocities.org/rbltre/astro/mainindex.html . For general infomation on western astrology, I recommend this site http://bobmarksastrologer.com/TOClessons.htm

For experimentations, this site www.astrotheme.com is very useful because it contains a huge database of celebrities, and you can search celebrities with a certain position, or aspect(s).

I don't do readings, but if you post your birth data I might take a look at it.
