It is probably a great book for people who believes in the mysteries of the universe. I do believe there are things we can't explain with science but not to this extent. It was still a very entertaining reading and I do have some friends that would love this as a present.

What a refreshing take on the self help book! Stephanie Campos turns the typical traits of each zodiac sign to provide a way for readers to successfully navigate each zodiac season of the year. Each season is complete with explanations on why we might feel the way we do, how best to navigate decisions and obstacles, love advice, mantras, and more. I liked the layout of this book, which makes it very easy to access information relative to the current time of year the reader is in. There is no wading through information that is not applicable, you just flip to the current zodiac, which I found super helpful. For those that are interested in a little more woo woo, you will find moon rituals and a few card layouts too.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for my copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Absolutely stunning book! The illustrations are so pretty and colourful. The design of the cover drew me in, and I stayed and read it in full since the layout is pretty easy to follow and the language is simple! There’s also a reference section at the end that I appreciated. This book is designed for anyone who wants to read about astrology, there’s something to offer for everyone whether you’re new to astrology or someone deep into it.

This book was just beautiful from start to finish. The images were a feast for the eyes and really elevated the book for me.

the information was written in an easy to understand way and didn't feel too "hippy" and was delivered in a fun and interesting way to keep you engaged.

This book is great for all those who are interested in reading about astrology and the zodiac signs but feel they keep reading the same type of books.

This was lovely done. The author tells you about the "seasons" meaning each "monthly" movement of the zodiac as the Earth rotates. Each season I describe special rituals and things that are given for each season. She also suggestion what are good things to do during this period.

So you know your sun sign, aka your zodiac sign, but what does that even mean? This book is so much more than a horoscope for your Zodiac. This is a very inormational book that is easy to navigate and digest for those of all knowledge levels

Thank you to Stephanie Campos, Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds, Fair Winds Press, and Netgalley for a free advanced reader copy of "Seasons of the Zodiac: Love, Magick, and Manifestation Throughout the Astrological Year" for an honest review.

A fan of all things astrology, I totally loved this thing. I'm sold on anything that lets me chart my year while living in parallel with the universe around me—and how better to that than live in sync with the stars, calling on them to inspire your activities, rituals, and deeper self-healing/self-affirming heart-soul work.

Book Review: Seasons of the Zodiac by Stephanie Campos

4/5 Stars

Stephanie Campos' book, Seasons of the Zodiac, is a delightful and informative guide that takes readers on a journey through the astrological seasons. From the energetic Aries to the soothing Pisces, Campos explores each zodiac signs' unique "season" and teaches readers how to tap into their magickal energies to enhance their lives throughout the year.

One of the first things that caught my attention was the book's eye-catching cover. Its vibrant colors and captivating design immediately drew me in, setting the stage for an engaging read. As I delved into the book, I found the graphics within to be equally enticing, making it visually appealing and adding an extra layer of enjoyment.

The layout of the book is well-organized and easy to navigate. Campos takes readers on a journey through each astrological season, providing detailed information on what to expect during that time and how to make the most of its unique energy. The author's writing style is approachable and accessible, making complex astrological concepts easy to understand for beginners.

One aspect I particularly appreciated were the "Try This" sections scattered throughout the book. These practical exercises allow readers to actively engage with the material, providing a hands-on experience that enhances their understanding of each zodiac season's influence. Additionally, Campos includes "Affirmations" that readers can incorporate into their daily practices, helping them align with the specific energies of each season.

Another valuable feature of this book is the handy reference section at the end. This section provides readers with useful information on incorporating zodiac magick into their daily lives. From astrological connections of popular herbs to tarot spreads based on the lunar cycle, this reference section serves as a valuable tool for those looking to deepen their connection with the cosmic cycles of the year.

Seasons of the Zodiac is not limited to those who only have knowledge of their sun sign. The book is designed to be accessible and relevant to readers of all levels of astrological understanding. Whether you are a budding astrologer, a beginner witch, or simply someone seeking a deeper connection with the cosmic forces at play, this book offers something for everyone.

In conclusion, Stephanie Campos' Seasons of the Zodiac is an engaging and practical primer on how to embrace the full influence of the zodiac in our daily lives. The book's beautiful illustrations, well-laid-out format, and informative content make it a perfect gift for anyone interested in astrology or seeking to explore the magical energies associated with each zodiac season. I highly recommend this book to all those curious about harnessing the power of the stars in their lives.

A comprehensive dive into each of the zodiac seasons, this is an excellent book for anyone new to astrology or those with some knowledge that would like a different perspective on the subject, ie on the influences of the zodiac signs rather than personal sun signs.

Each season starts with a general introduction, then moves into advice, moon magick, rituals, exercises and affirmations. At the end there is a 'cosmic grimoire' which includes some tarot spreads and suggestions for working with the planets and elements. I really like the way this book brings all these things together and I'm looking forward to getting a hard copy and working through it throughout the year.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-copy.

The target audience for this book appears somewhat uncertain, potentially leaning towards a gift for a pre-teen audience. However, the narrative may not strongly engage a teen reader, who might be drawn more to the book's aesthetic appeal, possibly resulting in retention as a visually pleasing keepsake.

While the explanations of the "seasons" lack clarity and may not offer educational value to those unfamiliar with astrology and related concepts, the highlight of the book lies in its stunning illustrations. The artwork significantly enhances the overall visual experience, prompting curiosity about the illustrator's body of work and serving as a notable positive aspect of the reading endeavor.

Interesting way at doing astrology. This uses the season's and then the zodiac signs. The book is more for people who are just starting to learn, and not necessarily for seasoned users or professionals. The illustrations are beautiful. I wish it was longer.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

An interesting companion book, complete with affirmations, self care tips and rituals for every zodiac season.

Great Information

The author defines a zodiac season as a thirty-day window when the sun is said to be “traveling through” a specific zodiac sign, which is also known as your sun sign in astroloht. She further states that this book offers readers a portal and permission slip to co-conspire with the Universe by accessing the different windows of opportunity that presen themselves to us as the planets spin through the cosmos.

She states each season makes up one chapter in this book, and each chapter includes the following seven sections:
1. An overview of the zodiac season itself
2. Self-care tips to ground and center yourself during the zodiac season
3. What to expect for your love life during each zodiac season
4. Tips on how to use each zodiac season’s energy to manifest
5. Moon-based magickal practices, including each new moon and full moon per zodiac season
6. A bespoke ritual based on every zodiac season
7. Affirmations to use to tap into the zodiac season’s energy

I, particularly, appreciate the tip of what to do during your zodiac season. She explains that each day of the week corresponds with one of the seven visible planets in the sky, and she provides a chart indicating each days of the week and its corresponding planet. The author states that when
we align our intention with a window of time that is supported by the cosmos, our intentions can be amplified and make a spell more potent and powerful.

I really enjoyed reading this book and feel that it is a great book for beginners, who are interested in learning about 5he zodiac in relation to spellwork and when to perform rituals for best results. I highly recommend this book.

I wish this book was longer. It's a great primer with some fun bits of information, but it's more of a coffee table flip through book or a starter guide for teens as an intro to astrology. There's a chapter for each of the 12 zodiac signs, and they all include a bit of intro information about the energies of that time of year, self care tips, affirmations, love life and manifestation guides (but just a page each), moon magic ideas, and a ritual to try that season. Everything seemed fun and accurate to what I know in the field, but it's not quite enough. I think this could have been made into a much longer book and been excellent!

I've been a long-time fan of astrology so I was excited about this new "Seasons of the Zodiac," which did not disappoint! I appreciate that this book you allows you to zone in on a specific sign/season and read about self-care, magick, rituals, manifestations, and affirmations. Definitely positive and uplifting! Recommended for anyone interested in learning more about signs and magick!

I wish I had more time to read this ARC. Because there are 12 seasons of the zodiac and I wanted to see how true to the book each season felt. I like the way the content was presented.
