Astro Herbalism by Jessica Rosset was such a fascinating and refreshing read for me. I absolutely loved the way she connects the celestial with the botanical, showing how different herbs and plants correspond not only with the Sun and Moon but also with each of the planets. It felt like peeling back a hidden layer of both astrology and herbalism, and the way the book merges the two made it so engaging and unique.

What stood out to me most was how detailed and in-depth the material was. It’s not just a surface level “this herb goes with this planet” type of book; it really dives into why these correspondences exist, how they influence energy, and how to actually use them in practice for wellness and manifestation. I especially appreciated the Mercury section. Mercury tends to get a bad reputation in astrology (hello, Mercury retrograde!) but it’s always been my favorite planet. I loved learning how to harness that energy instead of fearing it, and how to really align it with my own sign. That section alone gave me so much clarity and a fresh perspective.

The tone of the book is both informative and approachable, and I really felt like I was learning something new on every page. The blend of astrology as a “roadmap of the soul” with herbalism as a tool for grounding and balance made perfect sense, and she explained it in a way that felt empowering rather than intimidating.

And I can’t forget to mention the recipes at the end! I adored that inclusion; it’s one thing to read about theory, but getting to use the herbs in teas, oils, and blends makes the whole practice feel alive and accessible. I’ve already marked several that I’m excited to try. The pictures throughout the book are also absolutely stunning!

Overall, Astro Herbalism is a beautiful guide for anyone interested in weaving astrology and herbal wisdom together. It’s packed with insights, practical applications, and a fresh perspective on how the cosmos and the plant world mirror and support each other. I came away feeling both inspired and better equipped to use these connections in my own daily life. I am so excited about this book and implementing so much of it into my life and my astrology practice!

Thank you to NetGalley, Jessica Rosset, and Timber Press for the eARC of this book.

Thank you for granting my wish!

Astro Herbalism is such a beautiful blend of two things I already love: herbalism and astrology. Jessica Rosset does a wonderful job showing how these two practices have worked together since ancient times and how we can use them today for balance and self-discovery.

The writing is approachable, the illustrations are stunning and I really appreciated the little touches: like advice on where to pull your birth chart and the easy-to-follow structure of planets, signs and herbs. My favorite part was reaching my sign/planet and realizing how perfectly it matched my love of rose-flavored everything.

This is a relaxing, inspiring read filled with rituals, recipes and wisdom. I’ll definitely be dipping back into it often. 5 stars from me!

Absolutely loved the design of this book, the graphics were gorgeous. Everything was laid out so well, super easy to read and so interesting. Can't wait to purchase a hard copy.

I absolutely loved this exploration of astro-herbalism. The information was clear, concise, and well organized, giving the reader plenty of freedom to find what they need in the moment. I will definitely need to add a physical copy to my collection, the recommended uses and recipes are perfect for a fledgling grimoire. Highly recommend.

Special thank you to NetGalley and Timber Press for this Advance Reader's Copy in exchange for an honest review!

Astro Herbalism is a stunning blend of beauty, wisdom, and practical magic. Jessica Rosset has created something truly special here, a book that not only teaches but nourishes the soul. The writing gracefully weaves together the worlds of astrology and herbalism, showing how the celestial and botanical realms mirror one another in their rhythms and energies. It’s both insightful and grounding, perfect for anyone interested in holistic wellness, plant magic, or self-discovery.

What makes this book even more captivating are Anna Stead’s gorgeous illustrations. Each page feels like a piece of art, lush, detailed, and full of life. The artwork draws you deeper into the connection between plants and planets, making every herb feel like a personality of its own.

The recipes and correspondences are practical yet enchanting, offering ways to integrate Venusian herbs, lunar blends, and solar tonics into your everyday rituals. Whether you’re a seasoned herbalist or someone just beginning to explore astro-alchemy, this book serves as a timeless reference.

Astro Herbalism is the kind of book you’ll want to keep on your altar or coffee table, a beautiful guide that inspires both learning and living in harmony with nature and the cosmos.

I'm just starting to look into stuff related to my birth chart, but Astro Herbalism was the perfect read for me at this time. As I mentioned, I'm a beginner in this area and Astro Herbalism is well organized and easy to understand for those just learning about their birth chart. However, I am a bit more versed in herbalism and I really enjoyed how Rosset brought the two together. I appreciate the ties that she made, the warning given when necessary and the recipes for a bit of hands on work that were included at the end. I love a book with a recipe so I can get creative and this includes bath salts, incense, elixirs, and other things that I think those who like a good jar spell will enjoy.

Another thing that I want to mention is how gorgeous the illustrations were. They're charming and really help to capture the magical tone that the book sets. Honestly, I want a copy of the book just so I can stare at the pictures. Okay, yes, the information is equally important, but I adored the pictures.

Overall, I think this is a great book for those wanting to dip their toes into this subject. Easy to read and understand, but also beautiful to look at.
All around, I highly recommend. My only complaint is that I want more recipes, but I always want more recipes.

This is a beautiful book full of lovely illustrations. It is full of wisdom that will help the reader gain many tools to live a more full and happy life. This is one I will return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

This was a great introductory book to Astro Herbalism. It is an intriguing topic that Rosett presents in an approachable and informative way. The illustrations are gorgeous.

Rosett outlines each planet and the connection it has to different archetypal elements and herbs. For instance, Neptune corresponds with dreams and spirituality and is a planet of intuition. Rosett outlines which herbs are associated with Neptune and how they can help you access heightened awareness and inspiration. I can not wait to purchase a hard copy of this as my own guide!

There is a recipes and ritual section too that helps you take what you learn and apply it to your practice!

This was a completely new topic to me and after reading this book, I have a newfound interest and understanding of Astro Herbalism.

Thank you NetGalley and Timber Press for the opportunity to read an advance copy in exchange for feedback!

Astro Herbalism is a beautiful, thoughtful blend of astrology and plant medicine. I loved how detailed yet approachable it felt. I didn't feel out of my element when reading it. It's rich with information but never overwhelming, and it connects the emotional, spiritual, and herbal components in a really grounded, meaningful way. The artistry of this book truly stands out too. The illustrations are stunning and make each section feel special and intentional.

I obviously read the digital copy, but I cannot wait to own the physical book. Tt’s one I’ll keep going back to again and again. Perfect for anyone interested in astrology, healing, and ritual with depth and heart.

I thought this book was an interesting blend of astrology and plant medicine. It was detailed but never felt super overwhelming. However, right away you need to know your birth chart, so without a good understanding of such a chart, the reader will be lost in the beginning. I suggest diving in to your birth information first before proceeding with the rest of the book. Otherwise, the illustrations were fantastic and I thought the overall concept of the book was well worth the read!

This is a slim book (129 pages) packed with a lot of information for those of us who are into astrology, herbs, and herbalism. Each of the planets, and the sun and moon, are associated with herbs to enhance the planet. While the book doesn't go into deep depth, the information given makes it an excellent quick reference. There are several recipes in the back associated with the planets and herbs. A bonus is the beautiful illustrations throughout the book. I now need a hardcopy of the book so I can underline and have on my shelf to reference again and again. #netgallery #astroherbalism

Astro Herbalism by Jessica Rosset is a beautifully woven guide that blends planetary wisdom with plant medicine in a way that feels both grounded and magical. As someone who already has a solid foundation in astrology and herbalism, I appreciated how the author connected the energies of celestial bodies with herbal practices in a way that felt fresh. The book provides depth without becoming overwhelming, making it useful for both beginners and readers who already have some experience.

The explanations of each planet and zodiac sign are clear and thoughtfully crafted. Rosset does a great job of tying these cosmic influences back to everyday emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. I found myself taking notes on how different planetary themes could enhance or balance certain herbal supports.

The herbal profiles were especially informative. Each plant is tied to planetary rulership, emotional themes, and physical uses, offering readers multiple ways to apply the information. The tone feels like a blend of teacher and guide, which makes the material easy to absorb.

While I found the content fascinating, I do wish the book had even more hands-on examples or rituals. Still, the information provided invites readers to experiment and deepen their practice independently. Overall, this is an inspiring and insightful resource for anyone interested in connecting astrology with herbalism.

I enjoyed this book and how it combined astrology with herbalism. Being someone who finds both these forms of spirituality interesting, I found myself enthralled with this book. I would recommend this to anyone interested in spirituality, whether or not astrology or herbs are your passion.

This 129-page guide is packed with astrological and herbal wisdom. Each planet — plus the sun and moon — is matched with herbs to help you tap into its energy. While it’s not meant to be a deep dive, it’s a fantastic quick reference, complete with planet-based recipes and gorgeous illustrations throughout. I loved it so much I need a hard copy now, just so I can underline, tab, and keep it on my shelf for constant use.
