This is one of four titles in this beautifully-created series, that each focuses on a different spiritual area.

Astrology is something I know so little about and so hoped this book would provide me with the basic information I needed, without overwhelming me with things I knew too little of to begin to yet fathom. The slimness of the volume appealed and I found it did deliver exactly all I required, whilst also covering topics I felt too much of a novice to fully comprehend but was given enough of an initial understanding to know whether it was something I wished to return to in the future. Birth charts, zodiac houses, sun signs, and moon signs were covered here and yet more was hinted at that I have yet to fully explore.

In Focus Astrology is a book for anyone who wants to know more than just their daily horoscope. A lovely addition that is sure to get you started on your astrological journey.

Love this series! The design and layout is so cute and the information is fun and educational. This is a great primer on the topic for anyone interested in astrology.

This book like the other In Focus books have a lot of information about a specific topic. This one deals with Astrology. I've been interested in it for awhile now and have used other books however what is different from a book I own and this one is it mentions natal charts. There is a lot of information on a lot of different things relating to the topic of Astrology which is perfect for anyone with a lot of interest in the topic.

The perfect book for astrology enthusiasts who'd like to expand on more than just zodiac sign compatibility and their horoscope. SO insightful! I loved it and I'm not surprised.

Nice read! Even if you don't know much about astrology, it's all very easy to understand. I think it's a great guide for beginners (and experts too, why not?). If you believe that people use astrology just to justify thoughts and behaviors that we all have, you should totally read this book. You'll see how everything makes sense and how much you can learn about yourself and those around you. I really do believe in it.

If you are interested in more than just your daily horoscope in the newspaper, then read this book. From drawing a birth chart to the interpretation of the sun signs, the houses, etc, it is all in this slim volume to get you started on your astrological journey.

An informative introduction to astrology with examples for those readers who are new to it. The book is organized well, but some of the descriptions are a bit generic. A fun choice if you want to learn more about how to read a birth chart.

Net Galley Feedback

A very cool basic introduction to Astrology. I think that it was straightforward and easy to understand. This is an great beginning book into Astrology and those that are interested in the meaning behind things.

Other than the horoscopes on the newspaper, I never really knew much about astrology. But In Focus Astrology, really opened the door on what astrology really is an the elements to reading and understanding the signs. It dives into deeper topics to explain how everything works and reveals the complexity and beauty of reading the stars. This is my first exposure to astrology, and it did not disappoint. I found it interesting reading more about my sign and others
Thank you Net Galley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review

As a lifelong fan of astrology I was very happy to pick up this book by Sasha Fenton. I love the fonts and illustrations and it was easy to read. When I first started the book and read about sun signs and rising signs I thought the book was quite light with nothing particularly new to me with shortish explanations. As it progressed through it got much meatier with more in depth explanation on the Houses, Aspects and Charts. This is where I thought the book really stood out and liked the fact that it made these more complicated parts of astrology easier to understand.

This was an interesting looking into the procedure that goes into the art of astrology. I learned how zodiacs are derived and how people use the movement of the galaxy to try and predict the future. I was having some trouble following, so I suggest you go online and bring up the charts they are talking about so you can work your own as you go. I enjoyed how the author used famous people, as examples and was interested in the insight she pulled from them.
This is a pretty good primer if you want to learn about astrology.

In Focus Astrology in an in-depth book about using astrology to help plot the course of your life. It includes ways to work with your birth chart, It instructs how to use predictions and how to tell what your sign is most useful for such as strengths and weaknesses. There are examples used to help decipher what it all means. It includes 12 signs of zodiac, ascendents or rising sun, the 12 astrological houses, the planets, the aspects and simple predective techniques. Very well written and easy to follow for those with an interest on this subject. I quite enjoyed reading about my sign and how it affects me. I received this book from Net Galley and Quarto Publishing Group-Wellfleet Press for a honest review and no compensation otherwise.

I am a massive fan of astrology and subjects related to it, that when I saw the potential to read this I jumped at the chance! I loved this and even though I already know quite a lot about the subject it still managed to inform me on things I didn't know and made the stuff I already knew still interesting! Really fun, interesting read.

Thank you! :c)

I consider myself familiar with the basic concepts on astrology and this book did not disappoint.
The book covers all that is relevant to take the reader one step further from the sun signs that we are familiar from newspaper and popular media, such as rising and moon signs, aspects. With a distinct colour palette, I am able to retain the information so much better.

An interesting primer for anyone who's wondered about Astrology beyond the newspaper horoscope. I found the info on rising and moon signs really fascinating, and it was neat to see examples of charts using celebrities. Towards the end I started to get a little lost with the aspects, nodes, etc., and it would've been helpful to have some visuals about how these are indicated on charts. Same with the final chapter where Fenton gives an example of a chart interpretation - some type of visual indicator for where on the chart she was looking for each piece would've been really helpful.

That's totally the book I wanted! That kind of book I will leave on my nightstand and read a bit every day. I love Astrology and yeah I already knew a lot, but not like this book taught me. It's so much more complex and deep than I thought! This one I would kill for having the hardcover copy. Honestly. I'm ready to sit with all my friend and discover all the hidden truths about them lol

If I need a rating, it would be 4/5, but I don't like the idea of rating a non-fiction book. Which is actually funny, bc I don't ever read non-fiction. But this - and a few others - really picked my interest.
On a side note, the absence of a kindle edition really annoyed me, since I had to read it on my laptop, instead of my kindle


♥I got a copy from the publisher through NetGalley and this is my most honest uninfluenced review♥

A great reference book that can be useful to people who are beginning to study astrology and as reminder to those who are experienced.
It's full of charts and example and it's a pleasant and useful read.
Recommended!
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC
