Usually there isn’t much new info that I haven’t come across in astrology books. This book took a new approach that brought up quite a bit of new insights. I liked the way the information was presented and felt it highlighted a unique approach to viewing charts. Definitely worth the read for anyone interested in astrology wanting a new spin on chart interpretation. 4.5 stars.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

I Don’t Believe in Astrology by Debra Silverman offers an interesting perspective on astrology with a personal touch, blending insights with the author’s own experiences. While there are thought-provoking ideas and an accessible approach to astrological concepts, the book sometimes felt a bit repetitive, and certain sections could have gone deeper. It’s a good introduction for readers curious about astrology, especially those who may be on the fence about its value. Silverman’s style is friendly and conversational, which makes it easy to follow, though it may not fully satisfy those looking for an in-depth dive.

As someone with a stellium in Scorpio (sun, moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Neptune & MC) opposed by a lonely retrograde Saturn in Taurus I am always looking for info on how to best fulfill my life purpose - and this book provided so many tools for me! I especially appreciated the information on the principles of Saturn… I’d love to know how it applies to retrograde Saturn and will research more on my own.

Thank you to Debra Silverman, the publisher St. Martin’s Essentials, and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy for review. I appreciate it very much!

I enjoyed reading the book. I am into astrology and the book was very thought-provoking, especially learning about the psychology of each sign. I also enjoyed learning about the Psychology of Pisces because that is my sign! I also feel like if you are not into it, this book will change your perspective!

As someone who’s always been interested in astrology, I found this book fascinating in its thoroughness. It covers every zodiac sign in detail, which could help you understand your friends and loved ones on a deeper level. However, I found it interesting that as I was reading through the section on Leo—my own sign—I didn’t resonate with much of what was said. Despite that, the book offers great insights into the traits and personalities of each sign, making it an intriguing read for astrology enthusiasts.

I loved this! The amount of highlights & notes on my kindle is extraordinary lol. This book was so helpful in understanding myself and my purpose. I felt like it was the perfect mix of astrology and therapy all in one. I learned a lot more about Mercury & Saturn which was so interesting. I feel like most astrology books just focus on either one of the sun, moon, and rising signs or all three, but they don't dive into other signs/planets. I also really enjoyed reading about Pluto! My goodness we are in for such a huge shift.

I Don't Believe in Astrology Debra Silverman. Very interesting and informative book on Astrology and how the astrological signs influence one's day to day life. Especially appreciated the detailed explanations on Mercury Rising and how it can impact the different Zodiac signs. The print book would be an excellent resource in learning more about how astrology and psychology can work together to understand human nature in ourselves and others.

Thank you to the author, St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

A fun and interesting read for those who enjoy astrology, are mildly interested, or more skeptical (like me). I still don't know if I'm a full believer, but it was interesting to read through all the details about astrology and go beyond the typical sun sign horoscopes that are ubiquitous in society.
I've already recommended the book to a friend who loves astrology because I think she will enjoy the deep dive into all the plants and houses and how they work together.

thanks to the publisher for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

This book is perfect for anyone seeking to understand themselves and others through astrology, with practical insights into sun, moon, and rising signs. It’s straightforward, concise and incredibly insightful.

This is fascinating. I've always been interested in astrology and this book is so thorough. I love that it goes through every zodiac. It could help you understand your friends and loved ones on a deeper level.
