I am such a huge fan of Astrology and have just finished a course on Astrology and Magick - and i'm even more intrigued and excited by the idea of Astrology since finishing. The more knowledge I have, the more I want haha!

I was lucky enough to be allowed to read an early electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley. I like how this book was laid out slightly different to other books I have read on astrology. I like how it focusses on the planets and then all of of the other details follow, but the way the book is structured is via the ruling planets. This is a different approach and I'm always up for looking at things in a new way.
The books makes looking up certain elements and dipping in and out of very easy. However, I'm not sure how useful this book would be for beginners to Astrology who are wanting to find out the key basics - rather than just looking up specifics.
The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and I love the striking larger images at the start of each chapter.
I also liked the charts to track your own thoughts/feelings - think this would come in very useful.

Overall I liked this book, and as I said it's original in it's structure - but I'm not sure how easy this book would be to follow for those new to Astrology.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me a free digital Advanced Reading Copy (ARC e-book) of this title. I really enjoyed it! The Ultimate Guide to Astrology by Tanaaz Chubb was a great read. I love books about astrology and I am proud to add this to my collection.
There are 12 signs in the zodiac, each being represented in your chart in by the twelve different houses. For example, your rising sign rules your first house and describes the way you present yourself to the world. Your sun sign, the zodiac sign you typically look for when reading your horoscope, describes your inner ego, while your moon sign rules your feelings. From these components, an astrologer can develop a thumbnail sketch of your personality, and by knowing this hopefully you can improve your life. This book does a great job of introducing readers to the different meanings of the houses and signs, and showing us how we can use that knowledge to better our lives.
It was interesting to learn about the different zodiac signs and their meanings. From understanding your planets and signs and how they impact your chart, this book covers so much of the complexities surrounding astrology. I really loved the illustrations in the book, and thought there was so much useful information for beginners and experts alike.

Wow. First off, this book is so pretty. It is a great beginners guide and goes into detail more and more as the book goes on. I really like that they have the tracking page for how you're feeling during the sun in different phases as well as the page to draw your own birth chart! They have an index in the back that's very convenient. Another cool reference is the compatibility chart for quickly checking if you have a match. There's so much information in this book it's great for anyone interested in any part of astrology! But seriously.. the artwork is beautiful.

I loved this book, it's ideal for anyone with a growing an interest in astrology who is feeling a little lost with an abundance of information. It's clear. concise and easy to understand but also extensive and detailed. It's really sparked my desire to find out more and continue studying/ I will be purchasing so i have a hard copy as reference material. Beautifully written and the practical exercises are really useful.

This is the PERFECT introduction into astrology! Having been raised with astrology as part of my life, I have read many manuals and guides and have never found one that is both easy to understand but also in depth. I really enjoyed the layout and how the focus is on the planets and not the signs. I think for a beginner this would make much more sense than the traditional way astrology books read. I will say that a person needs to know their natal chart to truly get the most out of this book, but there are many websites that can do that for you for free. Overall, I'm very impressed and recommending it to all of my friends who like astrology.

The astrology book I have been searching for!! First off, this book is *beautiful* -- the overall design is very pleasing, the color palettes are the perfect combination of soothing + inspiring, and the illustrations are just delightful! The content of the book is exactly what I have been looking for, as a newbie to astrology. For a while, I have been wanting to learn more about astrology, particularly is how I can understand my personal chart, so that I can relate to others and understand what they are talking about in various conversations within the witchy community. What I wanted was an interactive workbook that guides me through the concepts and teaches me how to interpret my own chart along the way -- and that is EXACTLY what I got in this book! You can be that I pre-ordered a physical copy for myself after getting through the first chapter of the advance copy! After reading this book, I feel so much more knowledgeable, not just about astrology in general, but about my personal chart and the insights I've discovered about my life path. What felt especially satisfying was discovering how so much of the insights about me life *right now* were confirmation of things I have been learning via other means over the past few years. I LOVE this book, and would recommend it to anyone looking to get into astrology. If Chubb ends up writing an advanced version of this book, I would pre-order it in a heartbeat!!

An interesting book...sometimes I enjoy astrology just to see how close the definitions of my sign are to explaining my personality. This book had a lot of interesting things to point out. A good book for those interested in the stars!

Oh man, this was so captivating for me!

I pulled out my birth chart while reading this and had a fun time figuring out what each individual thing meant and how it tied/s together. I have always been fascinated by Astrology, so reading this was very helpful and enlightening for me, I really appreciate when people take the time to help you understand certain things better and I will for sure be using this book again!

Thank you Tanaaz Chubb for taking the time to put this all together for people like me who are trying to understand their birth charts.
I highly recommend The Ultimate Guide To Astrology!

The Ultimate Guide to Astrology written by leading astrologer and Instagram star Tanaaz Chubb (@foreverconscious) presents a modern and accessible approach to astrology with an emphasis on the signs and the planets. Astrology is the study of our connection to the cosmos. ”As above, so below” is the guiding principle: whatever is happening in the sky above can give clues as to what is happening within and vice versa. At the moment when you were born the stars and the planets all aligned in a configuration that is unique to you. This configuration of planets holds the energetic blueprint of your soul and the energetic forces that surround you as you embark on this journey.

Astrology can help peel back the new layers to reveal truths and insights about yourself and allows you to see the energies you are working with and how they can be used as strengths. Astrology gently guides you to understand the different energetic frequencies you can harness to help you lead a balanced, connected and richer life. It can also highlight some lessons your soul has come to learn and why certain themes or vibrations may be present. While the study of astrology is endless, this book will break down the key components and set you on the path to reading and understanding the vibrations that surround you as well as what messages they hold for you.

This book prepares you to connect with the cosmic skies, the cosmic blueprint of your soul and the foundation of the ancient art of astrology. This is a concise, clear and fascinating guide perfect for beginners and complemented by stunning artwork throughout. It's accessible, full of information and presented in an easily digestible fashion. Highly recommended.

Tanaaz Chubb's work on The Ultimate Guide to Astrology is incredible. The book is full of information about astrology, from explanations of the signs to activities that will aid in the reader's understanding of the stars.

Now, I love astrology, always have, and because of that, I am fairly up to date on what the different aspects of the planets mean and how they relate to each other. Not only is this book super informative, but it is also absolutely gorgeous. The color palette and the illustrations create an immersive experience that is hard to look away from.

I think that having this book on hand, especially while learning the basics of astrology, is a perfect choice. This book is useful for novices and experts or those who just like to read horoscope memes on Instagram.

In case you were wondering, I'm a Sagittarius Sun, Scorpio Moon, Gemini Rising. What's your Big 3?

Overall rating: 4/5

The Ultimate Guide to Astrology is available for purchase now. Be sure to add it to your Goodreads shelf and see where it's available for purchase. Also, be sure to check out Tanaaz Chubb's website!

Was this review helpful?

As an almost newbie in Astrology, I enjoyed this book. It has many good points regarding reading your birth chart and learning about planets. And most of all it’s beautifully designed and easy to navigate.

You can find here information on astrological houses, aspects, zodiac signs, and planets. Everything is explained so you can start this life-long journey of self-discovery through astrology. “The Ultimate Guide to Astrology” will allow you to understand concepts such as Moon Cycle, Mercury Retrograde, or Saturn Return.

Who is this book for:

✦ Total beginner in Astrology.
✦ Someone who wishes to learn how to create and read their astrological birth chart.
✦ A person who is overwhelmed and confused in the astrology field and would like a simple guide through planet and zodiac sign meanings.
✦ Someone who loves aesthetically pleasing books.

What could be improved:

I don’t see many things for improvement. As a beginner, I enjoyed every aspect of this book. I know that to get deeper knowledge about houses and more personal information, I’d have to reach for a more complex book.

Overall I enjoyed reading “The Ultimate Guide to Astrology” and I will recommend it to the readers of my blog.

* Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book came to me exactly when I needed it. Thank you.
The author explains about all the elements that make up our birth chart and how they influence us. It's even better if you already have your birth chart in hand, so as you read you'll recognize aspects of your personality that you might not have understood before, but that now will make perfect sense.

The illustrations are absolutely beautiful! It's a book I definitely want to have on my shelf and I'll probably re-read it many times until I can remember everything without help. I enjoyed it a lot and was very satisfied with what I learned. Totally recommended!

* I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
