Is astrology destiny? Of course not! Your birth chart does not foresee a future written in stone, and predictive astrology is just a parlor game. The original purpose of astrology was to help you tap into your inner wisdom, ask yourself the right questions, and find your own answers to life’s challenges. Now this unconventional and refreshing guide helps you reconnect with the sea of intuition that flows through each of us—so you can discover your true purpose.

Based upon the author’s nearly twenty years of experience as a professional astrologer, this amazing book gives you a secure orientation in the basic principles of astrology and teaches you highly effective techniques for identifying your talent, your passion, your spiritual support, and your connection to community.

• Clear instructions on technically reading the planets, signs, and houses in your birth chart as well as a primer on the meaning of each
• Easy-to-follow intuitive exercises to connect with your “cosmic database,” a wellspring of creativity that encourages you to trust your potential and to love who you are in the present
• Helpful ways to trust your own limits and use them as inner teachers
• Twelve true life stories that illustrate the inspiring and uniquely brilliant way in which each of us can bring an astrological script to life

If you are drawn to astrology but are intimidated by its apparent complexities, this generous, comprehensive book is the book for you. It presents the basics of astrology with crystal clarity and prepares you to use them with a subtle, finely honed precision that no other source provides. Even if you’re an experienced astrologer, you’ll be enlightened and stimulated by Elizabeth Rose Campbell’s affirmation: When you follow your best instincts, you follow the stars.

2-for-1
Great! Now you can waste your money on a moronic self-help book AND an idiotic, irrational text on a pseudoscience.

Not for beginners
IMHO, this book would be useful for practitioners who aren't astrologers per se but would like to use astrology to gain insight on themselves or their friends. If you are a beginner and you want to learn the general language of western astrology, I'd consult other books (i.e., Woolfolk, the Marion and March series, Sakoian (sic), Hickey, or for a more comprehensive grounding, Burk or the Parkers).

In this book, Ms. Campbell approaches astrology intuitively, producing results that are by turns revelationary good and exasperingly cryptic. Instead of using a cookbook style (using accepted astrology language), she adopts the socratic method in giving her descriptions of the planets, signs and houses (ex: Sun in the 1st house: How do I...?)

Midway through the book, she showcases twelve biographies of powerfully successful people in which she gives little verbal interpretation, expecting the reader to "intuit" the chart while reading their testimonies. (Not being able to do so, I felt I wasted my time.)

I finished reading the book "feeling" both mystified and awed. When she shares her insights, I gain a fresh approach to the planets, signs and houses, but I can't grasp her intuitive socratic style. (I managed, however, to glean useful information from the questions asked regarding the north and south nodes, strangely enough.)

Again, this book should not be recommended to beginners trying to master the nuts and bolts of western astrology and interpretation.

LOVED IT!
I've been an astrologer since the mid-60's so I've read about a billion astrology books. There are a only handful that I would heartily recommend and this one is at the top of the list. Fabulous for beginners yet still providing plenty of really compelling material for experienced astrologers as well. How'd she do that?!
