I am such a sucker for a good astrology book and this one gave me some insights that I haven't read - or at least put it in a different perspective. All in all would recommend.

The layout and graphics are ecstatically pleasing, but that's about it. There are more graphics than actual information in this book. The information is more based in stereotypes versus astrologically correct information. I found the information limited, repetitive and even inaccurate. There are much better and more informative books out there for beginners that are also simplistic..

This book provides a a brief summary of each sign, then things they are good at, ways then can stretch themselves, Family & friends, Home and Away, Health and wellness. Each basically has one paragraph to summarize each section mentioned. then the rest is graphical charts with one or two word answers for things like crystals, flowers, scents, lucky numbers, etc. You could find more information about these on a basic google search.

I don't typically like to leave low ratings, but this book seems like it' was something put together over the weekend with little thought and information that is extremely basic and honestly an insult to astrology. The title is also misleading, when i read "The Magic of Astrology" my first inclination would be that there are some spells or manifestations using astrology to help you.

Has examples of famous persons and their charts to show topics and what a chart can look like. A number of topics within astrology are talked about. Having other chart visuals as well is helpful of placement and connection is nice for those wanting to see it. A good beginner book.

A great book for those who are curious about astrology, whether it is casual interest looking for some entertainment or even if the reader wants genuine insight into the way human personalities are classified under astrology. The book is arranged as per the 12 zodiac signs and are full of fun illustrations, making it a great casual guide to astrology for someone new to it.

If you enjoy reading about the different signs, this is an excellent reference book. THis is a variation on other books about the same topic and although nothing new, it's always good to read someone else's spin on the stars and signs.

Fun, informative, and beautifully illustrated. This would be a great addition to any non fiction library collection.

A fun, somewhat superficial dive into astrology and personal zodiac signs. It covers all the signs in a fairly noncommittal way, while maintaining a design and layout quality to be worth the asking price.

In depth and fun information on all things astrological with a beautifully done layout inside! Of course I wanted to read my own sign, but I wanted to read them all by the time I was done with one

I really liked this book. I hadn't read an astrology book since I was in high school but I was drawn to this one. I really enjoyed this. I would highly recommend this if you are looking into astrology.

I recently at the end of 2022 became really interested in all of this. So, I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast, insightful, informative read.

Thanks netgalley for the chance to read this book! I’m just now getting really into astrology and really enjoy learning more about my sign and learning more about myself. This book was great!

A great beginner's guide to astrology. If you are looking for an overview of all the zodiac signs, then this would be a good book for you. I also loved that the author included other details like each zodiac's favorite color and places to go to relax. At the beginning of the book, there is also a guide to help you better understand the cusp and different houses involved with astrology. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable read.

This book is very easy to read and gives a nice overview of the different zodiac signs; each signs has their own chapter. It would be perfect as a coffee table book that you can flip through from time to time. I did sit down and read the entire thing from start to finish, however I feel like most people would just skip around and find their own sign. It provides a basic introduction to the signs, some useful passages you can reflect upon as well as some fun facts (eg. celebrities with the same sign or places to travel).

This is lovely guide to all the traits of each zodiac sign and how to better understand the signs. There are fun pop culture references sprinkled throughout the text and it provides a nice breakdown of additional aspects with respect to each sign. The signs color, best places to relax and other such details are included. It's a nice basic guide with some additional tidbits.

This was fun, light and decent for beginners book on astrology. If you’re just looking to read your signs info then you won’t be getting too much out of it, it’s more a light overview of all signs - so make sure that’s what you’re looking for!
