The best way to learn about Astrology is dependent upon you learning style.

While this is not an exhaustive list, it is a helpful paradigm for understanding yourself and finding the best learning method. First discover which one or combination you are, then try the corresponding things:
Visual: Books, diagrams, videos. (resources: Local library, Amazon.com, Youtube.com, google.com/images)
Auditory: Audiobooks, Podcasts (Itunes, Amazon.com, Youtube.com)
Verbal: Talking with others, Podcasts (Friends/family, itunes, youtube.com)
Logical: Books, diagrams, cliffnotes. (amazon.com)
Kinesthetic: Star maps, creating art or other physical representations.

It depends on what you want to know about it. Books are a great way to start learning about astrology. Amazon.com and most book stores will have tons of books on astrology.
Vedic astrology is the most popular right now along with Zodiac astrology. Having a birth chart is also important to have.
Visual, auditory, social, logical and kinesthetic are all considered “old school” and are NOT used in astrology.
I have studied astrology for well over 5 years and have vast knowledge in it.
I’m pretty sure that nowadays, it’s not a problem to find some reliable sources on the internet. For instance, I can tell you that I started seeing numbers and numerical patterns, and after I decided to learn more about it, I managed to find many great blogs, so I think you should try something like that as well.
