A book and a calculator . . . or . . .
One of today's biggest problems for early-studies students is that they only know of using computers. A good astrological education would include having a knowledge of how to calculate charts, progressions-directions-returns, by hand. In order to pass any of the certification steps of the various astrological organizations, one has to know about these things.
I learned these processes in the first month of astrological studies with Jeff Mayo using a book by Margret Hone, both of the UK. Those books are dated now, but the methods haven't changed a single bit. Although such an approach may be dreaded by today's students, anyone who took time to study these hand calculations would end up being far more capable far faster.
I should think that you can find these methods on-line with a bit of searching. Probably the AFAR site or some such organization. Or, Google. Dave
