About Me


This practical and sensible introduction to the science behind astrology is ideal for anybody who wants to use an ancient practice to enhance their understanding of their own personality, pathway through life and future potential. It introduces the history behind astrology, explaining precisely what it is - and isn't - before helping the reader to construct, interpret and learn from their own natal or birth chart. Rather than offering 'predictions' it will guide the reader towards a full understanding of their relationship with the planets, and the ways in which these can be used constructively to understand and work with the influences of the natural world on their own life. It offers valuable advice on relationship compatability, along with guidance on career and other lifestyle choices, and is accompanied by plenty of useful resources, diagrams and guides to finding out more.
Teach Yourself Astrology also features the natal chart of film-maker Jen Govey , to help demonstrate how you can interpret and find deeper meaning in your own chart.Please find more information with Hodder , the publisher of the book.

Understanding The Planetary Myths is a good companion book to Teach Yourself Astrology. Also written by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma, this beautiful book goes into more depth about the rich stories that underpin all planetary interpretations. The planets and asteroids are all named after Roman Gods and Goddesses whose stories have their roots in Ancient Greece. Through knowing the myths of these archetypal figures, it is possible to understand more easily why each planet and asteroid has its own particular interpretation in the horoscope. In each chapter, the myth is told in story form. This is followed by the symbolism of the archetype and a description of the traditional qualities embodied by the planet or asteroid when interpreted in a natal chart reading.
Understanding The Planetary Myths is currently available at all good bookshops including:
Amazon UK
Amazon U.S.A.

Teach Yourself Astrology uses the natal chart of film-maker Jen Govey as a demonstration. This is what Jen says about Teach Yourself Astrology:
I was absolutely delighted and flattered when Lisa asked if she could use my chart to demonstrate interpretations as a part of Teach Yourself Astrology. I am wondering if it was a particularly nice alignment of the planets that helped it along, or the fact that I had been delving deeply into my own chart looking for answers to help with my healing and life journey. I was stuck on this little icon which looked like a key sat up in Aries in my eleventh house. It was quite strongly aspected with my Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus and I wanted to unlock its secrets. I couldn't find much in my astrology books so I called my friend Lisa. I always call Lisa in these situations as she has a wondrous abundance of knowledge, and as usual she came through with flying colours and opened up a whole new meaning to my chart and a deeper understanding of myself.
The key, I discovered was Chiron, the wounded healer. With Lisa's coaching and additional reading of her previous astrology book "Understanding The Planetary Myths" I came to learn more about the psychology and deeper meaning; that Chiron reminds us that only through recognising and accepting our inner wounds can we find true healing. It was one of those Eureka moments. Maybe it was coincidence that Lisa had just been asked to write Teach Yourself Astrology while all this self-discovery was going on and she was just as fascinated with my chart as I was at that moment in time. Of course I leapt at the chance of Lisa delving even deeper into my cosmic closet for the book. The experience has left me a lot more confident about my potential in the film industry. I kind of always knew I was destined, but it's fantastic to find my potential and motivations in my chart, and how I can make it work for me and what I need to watch out for. I'm even looking forward to meeting my future man, a prospect I had found totally bewildering!
Teach Yourself Astrology is innovative in its presentation of astrology and its format allows you to understand, in a more practical way, your psychological make-up, how to make the most of your untapped potential and how to overcome your personal hang ups and demons. I am so very pleased that you have an opportunity to learn from Lisa's wisdom and experience in Teach Yourself Astrology and hope you get to fulfill your own potential through using this book.
Best Wishes, Jen Govey
