Modern Astrology: Harness the Stars to Discover Your Souls True Purpose Reviews

  Firstly, I love astrology and know a bit but this was a really good collection of a lot about it. With good pictures and good information, it read not boring like a textbook but was interesting. I am so intrigued by astrology and how everything aligns and fits in together. It's really cool. I definitely recommend.
  I did get to read this for free through the Callisto Publisher's Club but the opinions here are my own.

  Ever wanted to get deeper into your sign and better understand yourself? Your sun sign barely glosses over who you are - which is why reading horoscopes can be so "off" at times. This well-written book delves you deep into the different planetary alignments and more, and how each of these things affects who you are when it comes to astrology.
  
  Simply get your natal chart done (something you can do for free online using your birthdate, time of birth, and where you were born) and then go through this book with that information to learn more about yourself. I was amazed as I read the different planetary connections and the information that was available beyond my sun sign.
  
  I received this book free from the publisher, and this is an honest and unbiased review.

  This book is fun to read if you have interest in astrology or are a beginner with astrology. Easy to understand and learn the basics. It was an enjoyable book and I've been studying astrology for a couple years.

  I've been studying Astrology since 1997 and have read dozens of books on the subject, though I've never before read an Astrology book from start to finish. I usually dip in, read what pertains to me and those close to me, and ignore the rest. But Edington's voice is so clear and mesmerizing, so readable, like a story, I just kept going and going. And even though her text is covering ground I learned via my studies over the years, what's new to me is her particular take on what I thought I already understood. Edington brings a different angle or shading to certain interpretations, a more in-depth examination. So things I've only vaguely grasped, coalesced into a clearer view. Not all gifted Astrologers can write! And this author can!
  
  I loved the integrative way Edington teaches the reader to learn to interpret a chart. This is completely different from most Astrology books I've read. She has a storyteller's instincts and assists the reader in learning to create their own story out of their natal chart. And the various meditations, exercises, and case studies are just wonderful! The author is helping us to understand ourselves infinitely better via the natal chart, understand our foundation, our beginning point, and how to work with the energies inherent to us that can be mindfully enhanced or shifted if we're aware of them.
  
  This was definitely one of my favorite Astrology books, and one I would highly recommend!

  Modern Astrology is truly a Goddess send! I wish it was around years ago when I first became interested in going beyond the daily/monthly/annual astrology pages. The book is so comprehensive and explains the basic concepts of astrology and learning to read a chart in such a down-to-earth way. It's great that it is practical too with personal development exercises to help with typical challenges each sign faces. A real plus is the shamanic element - going on an inner vision quest to seek guidance from within - it helps me trust my own unique voice and what I find within when I journey to planets etc. This book can truly help you to become comfortable being you. Modern Astrology is a ground breaking book written for ordinary people which makes Louise Edington the peoples' astrologer!

  I am so enjoying this book! I have always been fascinated by astrology but my previous attempts at learning it in a more in depth way failed due to the complex nature of many astrology books. Louise has a great way of writing about astrology in a very accessible and relevant way, which has enabled me to explore this vast subject with interest, intrigue and gain a much deeper understanding of myself easily. I love how Louise explains the connection of the Natal chart on a soul journey, this makes her work very personal and so interesting. Highly recommend!

  Good read

  I have always loved books about astrology and it's been quite a while since I've found a good one that I've liked. The reason I really like this one is because it suggests you create your natal chart first , (you can easily do this-just look on the web on how to create one), and then you use that info to learn more specific stuff about your particular sign and whatnot. It's more detailed info that traditional astrology books, since it gathers more info than just your sign. Very interesting and fun too! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.

  Even though this wasn’t a required resource for my 101 class, it was absolutely helpful in giving me a clear understanding of how the planets interacted in the houses and signs. I absolutely recommend this as not only a resource, but as a book that is easy to read and packed full of knowledge if you’re a lover of astrology.

  Given so many choices in life, I feel like people are looking for direction. I love how this book is organized to do just that. Put the road map in our own hands with clear instructions. It's a beautiful book supported by YouTube and Facebook installments.

  I always enjoy learning about different things, especially things like the moon and stars and planets and our place in the world. I'm fascinated by astrology and I found this book very informative.

  Phenomenal book. Perfect for the novice astrologer. Louise Edington explains so much in a clear concise manner.

  Los libros de recetas astrológicas están a la orden del día y son más bien para gente que quiere saber de sí misma pero no consultar a los demás o entender cómo funciona la astrología en realidad. Este es uno de esos libros, como el que llevaba a mi colegio cuando tenía 12 años y le leía el horóscopo a mis amigas en el recreo.
  No habría nada de malo con este contenido, si no fuera porque perpetúa malas prácticas como el alfabeto de 12 letras que relaciona los signos con las 12 casas. El contenido no tiene profundidad, se trata más bien de una lista de adjetivos asignados a casas, planetas y signos, continuando con el estereotipo de muchos y no ayudando a desestigmatizar la astrología.

  I really liked this book, but I was kind of disappointed because I don't feel it lived up to its title.
  
  I thought this book was going to focus more on evolutionary astrology. The beginning made it seem that way but after reading it really only seems to mention it at certain points instead of doing more in-depth interpretations of placements. It's more like a 'cookbook'.
  
  That isn't to say that I didn't enjoy my reading of it. I learned a lot of new things and the author has an engaging voice. While reading the interpretations it kind of got repetitive due to the fact that the author would reuse the introduction, etc. This annoyed me a little, but I get the need for it.
  
  All in all, this was a good book. I like the author's style and I will look into reading her other book.

  This is a perfect reference for those of us who may not be professional astrologers but have an insatiable desire to have a deeper understanding of our chart. This is an excellent resource to better understand your chart and yourself.

  Easy to follow, introductory guide to modern astrology. Lays out the basics and has great journaling /habit prompts and kind of lazy meditation prompts (they all are very similar.) Thanks for sharing your knowledge Louise!

  Great Resource
  
  Really spelled out the planets, the chart example was useful and I think I understand aspects finally!! I'll be diving back into this rabbit hole :)

  4 out of 5 stars.
  
  I would've liked a bit more detailed explanations about aspects and houses but this works just fine for beginners to dip their toes in.
