Different astrologers use different calculations and different techniques, even within these different traditions. Find an astrologer that you like, or study the system you are drawn to. Anything you study will eventually bring you to a deeper understanding, even if that understanding leads you to move on to something else eventually.

Feel it out, think about it for a while. See which calls to you. I use both.
