Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.
Honestly, this isn’t a bad book, but it wasn’t as helpful as I thought it would be. I was intrigued by this being a therapist’s guide to astrology, but honestly, some of the things for Aquarius do not apply to me at all. For example, I always laugh at it when someone says oh you are quirky and love technology….I loathe technology and my team of 20 somethings had to bully me into a new iPhone. Just saying. I was hoping this would get into more things that I have experience that my therapist has helped me with, high anxiety, imposter syndrome, etc., I thought that may be tied to astrology in some way that I thought would make this interesting, but it was very light on all of that.
This is pretty much the same thing as most astrology books, date of birth, time of birth, location of birth, find out your sun sign, etc. However, as another reviewer noted, she doesn’t tell you how to find some of this which was weird. I think she thought that anyone reading this book would be familiar with astrology and how to find that information. The only reason I know is that I was born on a cusp, so I actually do need to know the time of my birth to figure out which “house” I am in (either Capricorn or Aquarius). Speaking of cusps, I was surprised she didn’t talk about that at all.
Some interesting things I wish we had gotten more details on was the 13th sign she mentions, she talks about us being in the Age of Aquarius, but how in 2026 we will see an entire shift with concerns to government/climate etc., but I was confused honestly since so many people disagree about when the Age of Aquarius actually starts and will end. I think next age is supposed to be Capricorn (do not quote me on that) but again that whole section of the book moved pretty quickly through that and I wanted more details.
