I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher (Chronicle Books) for promotional purposes.
What a fun (and informative) little astrology book!
I am a huge astrology nerd, so naturally I was very excited for this one.
I loved that the book opened up with a short introduction into astrology and briefly explained birth charts and houses (although the graphic for the houses has an error on the numbering).
The author really knows her stuff. When describing astrology she writes, “I like to think of it as people-watching combined with philosophy. And once you embrace it, it becomes a lens through which you look at everything” (pg. 9). I wholeheartedly agree and that’s how I see astrology too. I use it as a guide to understanding people. The author is spot on with her observations on the signs. She mentions that Tauruses love to say no, and as a Taurus myself, I can confirm that is very true.
As for the graphs themselves, they are so fun and easy to digest. They are in the same vein as many astrology memes you find online. If you love those, then you’ll love the graphs. Some of the topics of the graphs include the signs’ hierarchy of needs, daily checklist, monthly budget, and dating profile. My personal favorite were the graphs on how each sign falls in love.
Lastly, I loved that the book ends with a short conclusion. My biggest pet peeve in nonfiction is when the book just ends. I appreciated the short wrap up.
Overall, if you’re looking to get more into astrology, definitely check this one out. It is very beginner friendly. It would also make a great gift!
