Astrology is meant to explain all aspects of life by organizing them into mentally tangible parts so we could see how these parts of reality change with the shifts that happen in the universe. Understanding astrology is a process done through observation, and there's no perfect interpretation of anything because there is too much to the universe and not enough words to explain it all. I learned the basic definitions of each planet, sign, house, aspect, etc. and I observed what else manifested alongside these themes in life, what other things are associated with it, and from there your understanding grows in almost an impressionistic way. You build a story by finding ways to connect the different parts of the system, and since there are usually many different ways to interpret one thing it mainly comes down to practice and intuition. I'm sorry if this isn't what you were looking for, but when you speak to most people who are heavily into astrology, there isn't really a single book, teacher, or form of research we use. It's a very intuitive study.
This website does a good job at giving you the basic definitions, words, and themes associated with the planets, houses, and signs. It's beginner friendly, so if you're interested in astrology, I would recommend it. β‘ https://www.drstandley.com/
