This book is great for beginners. It provides basic information about astrology with easy-to-follow instructions. It attempts to bridge the gap between astrology and witchcraft. The astrology portion is stronger than its witchcraft sections. As a practitioner, the timing for spells and rituals is the most useful, but not much else. Admittedly, that's mostly because the author and I appear to approach witchcraft from different paths, so that's a highly personal opinion.

Aesthetically, the book is gorgeous.

The illustrations (used as examples of the information) are nice. An introductory book. Pretty easy to read through. Different topics or subjects regarding astrology - like super moons, Chiron, empty houses, planets.

The book is beautiful, it is very colorful and really interesting to read. I don't feel it is a book filled with deep/specific information; however, it does have introductory information about many things.

Molto carino, come tutti i libri dell'autrice; semplici ma non banali, aesthetic ma non vuoti, colorati e immediati. Super approved

What a gorgeous little book. Filled with loads of information on both astrology and magic and how these combine using birth charts, crystals, herbs and other appropriate tools. With beautiful, colourful images and an easy reading style this makes a perfect gift for anyone magick / astronomy inclined.

Thank you Quatro and NetGalley for the ARC.

This is a fantastic book! I've read a few others by Lindsay Squire and she's a fantastic writer. The information is always laid out in a really accessible fashion and is never confusing to follow. I think it's a great book if you are new to the subject because she goes through all, the information so methodically it's easy to do the steps along with her. The book has beautiful illustrations too (thank you Viki Lester!) and I think it's a lovely addition to any bookshelf.

Lindsay Squire makes astrology accessible to all in Astrology Magick. Whether you're new to the practice or an experienced follower of the stars, this book takes the complex subject of astrology and breaks it down into easily digestible chunks. Handy diagrams and a conversational writing style add to the book's overall quality. The illustrations by Viki Lester are beautiful and enhance Squire's information.

Each chapter covers a different aspect of astrology--everything from creating a birth chart to how the placement of planets on the chart affect an individual's personality, outlook on life, relationships, and more. Also included are suggestions for tarot readings based on the different zodiac signs. Astrology Magick, regardless of whether or not you practice Wicca/Witchcraft, is by far one of the best resources I've found on the subject, and certainly one of the most approachable.

Great introductory work on astrology! As a beginning astrology student myself, I very much enjoyed it. Great for the metaphysical section, will definitely be getting a copy for our growing collection.

This book is a great tool for learning astrology. It goes deeper than simply giving "the basics" and goes into great detail. The author makes astrology accessible, easy for anyone to begin their own practices. Visually, this book is stunning. It's colorful, well organized, and I could definitely see myself using this book for years to come.

This is a really easy to read and understand, beautifully illustrated and simple to follow book on Astrology and the Magickal practices to use alongside it.

I struggle hugely with understanding Astrology, having done various courses and watched YouTube videos, I needed something that laid things about as simply as possible that kept me engaged and that’s exactly what I got in this book.

Everything from the basics to the more complicated aspects are well written out and explained with diagrams and correspondences that are linked to each sign.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers Leaping Hare Press for a review copy.

Vibrant and Colorful

Lindsay Squire began by discussing birth charts, stating that each sign and planet has a very different effect upon your life depending on where they are positioned in your chart. She provides a few of her favorites free online birth-chart calculators, which will require your date of birth, place of birth, and your time of birth to be able to create your chart. She further states that in order to get an accurate birth
chart, we should consider using two or three different calculators and compare the results.

The author provides information on how to interpret your birth chart, along with the signs of the zodiac, which she discusses each's house position, associated mantra, modality, polarity, crystals, herbs, spices, positive and negative traits.

Lindsay states that not only can astrology help us unlock hidden parts of ourselves and deepen our understanding of who we are, but it can also be a useful tool in the practice of Witchcraft.

I love the vibrant and colorful illustrations and the use of the elegant fonts are very eye-catching. Good book for beginners.

I enjoyed the breakdown of planets and houses, the tarot spreads and the other planets in retrograde.
I was missing the ‘how to do your birth chart’ element.
This is a great, concise, colourful book on astrology and how to corporate it into basic magick.
I received a copy via NetGalley and all opinions are my own.

I loved this book! It perfectly explains astrology in an easy to read way! I think it would be great to beginners on the subject but also an amazing resource to have for those who need to double check a quick fact or two.
The way this book explain how astrology can help with magick is excellent! It’s giving the information without shoving that belief at the reader. It gives great and useful information for those who might use it to aid their needs.
The illustrations are breathtaking! Everyone could be a poster to hang on your wall, for a bookmark, or any type of merchandise for that matter they are absolutely stunning!!
The way this book is written and illustrated makes me want to read all the books these two have done together!
