I’m not surprised I forgot to review this here. I truly can’t think of a better description than ‘meh’. It’s not terrible, but it certainly isn’t something I see myself recommending. There are far better books out there with the same info, I’m grateful for the copy, as always.
Good for moon workers or astrologers. gets a number of topics relating to the moon in some way introduced. Nice that author added prompts for reflection and journaling.
A thorough exploration of not only how the moon affects us personally, but the very aspect of the celestial body itself. There's a lot of well researched information here that can aid in amplifying anyone's daily practice.
Great book. Thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Great flow. Would recommend. Great gift book. Thanks again.
Sorry for the delay in reviewing. I have the kindle version:)
Its a good detailed book, it's interesting, thought out, as with anything of this nature you have to be open to the ideas or be able to drift past the things that don't suit your thoughts and ideals.
Certainly glad I read it.
This book gives some information on natal chart guides based on your moon sign. It also provides an outline of the moon and its associated rituals. I think that this a fairly slim book with limited information on both of the subjects that it focuses on. I think that there are better selections if this is information that you are seeking. I think that if you picked it up you would end up looking for something else to delve deeper into. If you are simply looking for a primer this would be a useful.

Moon Power by Simone Butler goes into great detail about each zodiac moon sign (not to be confused with sun sign). In each chapter, you learn about each moon, which goddess it is associated with (how to set up an alter for that goddess), and even rituals that you can do during that specific moon. At the end of each chapter, there are reflection questions that really make you think about your life.
Overall a great read and resource to have. If you are interested in learning more about your moon sign, I definitely recommend this book.
There is so much information packed into this book, that it's a fantastic read for any goddess looking to connect with the moon. Each chapter offers an insight into a moon sign - not a sun sign - which people often confuse with the traditional sun sign.
I enjoyed learning more about my moon sign, Gemini, and the goddess. Scheherazade. The book provides information on the goddess' sacred monkey (in this case, a monkey), and also provides instructions on constructing an altar to the goddess.
As a writer, I thoroughly enjoyed the prompts at the end of the chapter, which really made you think about things. (For example: "Were there changes in your childhood that left you feeling insecure?" It allowed me to take a break and think about honoring my inner child, even in my 30s.
If you are interested in learning more about your moon sign, I definitely recommend picking up this book... and if you think you know all there is to know about it, I can guarantee that you'll find something new in this book!
This book is an easy to read, well structured guide to how the moon and signs affect you on an individual level. Very clearly laid out, it's great for beginners or more experienced partitioners alike. I can't wait to practise my new skills!
Moon Power by Simone Butler is a wonderful book about the astronomical moon signs and how the moon affects our lives and personality. This book goes into great detail on each sign and suggests goddesses that are associated with each moon sign and how to worship them. I also enjoyed the collection of rituals that each sign is attributed. These rituals can be done by anyone but it is thoughtfully paired with a sign that has a deep connection to it. I think this book would be a wonderful addition to any astrological book collection and companion to magical workings.
A great book for anyone who wants to better understand how we're influenced by our moon.
You'll find information regarding each zodiac sign, explaining the main traits, weaknesses and strengths, rituals, stories of ancient goddesses, current examples of famous people and questions to make you reflect. Although I've been reading a lot on the subject, this book has given me a lot of information that I didn't know. It was a very interesting read!

A lovely book that has been well researched and thought out. It is a great reference book for any collection.
With thanks to #NetGalley for an ARC of #MoonPowerSimoneButler.
Well presented book written about an interesting topic.
Puts forward some fascinating theories.
A thought provoking read.
“Moon Power'' is a unique book about lunar energies. It is mostly addressed to female readers who would love to reach towards the guidance of their inner Goddess. What I really like about this book is the detailed information on the Moon in the different Zodiacs, which gives a better understanding of the individual traits of every one of us.
Each of the Moon Zodiac Signs has information on personal lunar strengths and shadows, sexual nature, and karmic path. It also presents associated Modern and Ancient Female Figures/Goddesses, sacred animals, as well as tips on how to create specific altars and rituals corresponding with New and Full Moons. At the end of each chapter, there is a list of things to do during Moon being in this zodiac sign as well as some questions for journaling and reflection.
“Moon Power '' is by far the most comprehensive guide on Moon in the Zodiac signs I have ever encountered. I really like the idea of following moon phases, and the information provided in this book is different from the others I have read. The moon changes a zodiac sign each 2,5 day and it’s a great opportunity to time some activities, intentions, and rituals associated with specific lunar phases.
The introduction of the book is great and I really liked learning about different moon phases' significance according to the time when you were born.
Who is this book for:
✦ Each and every Selenophile
✦ Someone wanting to connect with their inner nature based on their Moon Zodiac sign
✦ A witch, that wishes to time their magic around Moon phases and their zodiac signs
✦ A person interested in Deity work and connecting with different Goddesses
What could be improved
Although I really like the structure and the information presented in this book, I’d love to see more actual information on the Moon. There is a lack of topics such as Blue Moons, Void of Course, and general information on Moon Phases. But I guess there are some other books that cover these topics more thoroughly. I just wish there was a one Moon Magic book that would contain all necessary elements.
