You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance Hardcover – Illustrated, January 7, 2020

Not a general book on astrology but helps you better understand how your unique chart can impact your life

This book went over the basics of astrology mostly focusing on the Big 3 Sun, Moon and Ascendant. I really enjoy the Chani app I even pay for the monthly full access and I rarely buy or have subscriptions. Life has been turbulent for years and I really find a lot of comfort and hope in astrology especially in Chanis interpretations. I have some interest in learning and doing others astrology perhaps and to deepen my own understanding of Astrology. This is a great basic reference and something I expect I’ll come back to in the future. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and insight.

Chani is a wellspring of knowledge! I love her app and have learned so much about astrology, the universe and myself listening to her. This book is so inspiring and helpful. It breaks down astrology and a super easy to understand way that's engaging and enlightening. I now understand my signatures, houses and am much more patient with the timing of the universe. Buying several to send to friends!

I’ve been studying astrology for a few years and this is such a great book to understanding the various dynamics . Highly recommend to those looking to understand astrology better.

I'm leaving a four-star review for "You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance." This book has brought empowering insights into self-discovery, but there were a few aspects that left me with mixed feelings.First and foremost, the premise of using astrology for radical self-acceptance is intriguing and promising. The book delves into the concept of understanding oneself through astrological insights, offering a pathway to embrace one's unique traits and qualities.The author's approach to weaving astrology into the journey of self-acceptance is well-presented and thoughtful. The insights provided are often relatable and offer a fresh perspective on understanding our strengths, challenges, and potential paths.One of the standout qualities of the book is its accessibility. Even for those who are new to astrology, the author's explanations and guidance make the concepts easy to grasp and integrate into self-reflection.However, there were moments when the astrological explanations felt slightly generalized or overly broad. While astrology can provide meaningful insights, the individual nuances of each person's birth chart can sometimes get lost in broader interpretations.Additionally, for readers who are more experienced with astrology, there might be a desire for deeper insights and more advanced concepts beyond what the book offers.In conclusion, "You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance" offers a valuable perspective on using astrology as a tool for self-discovery and self-acceptance. The accessible approach and empowering insights are commendable and offer a meaningful path for readers to explore. However, there were instances where the astrological insights felt somewhat generalized. If you're seeking a book that combines astrology with personal growth and self-acceptance, this book could be a worthy choice. For my experience, I believe a four-star rating accurately reflects my mixed feelings about the book's content.

I bought this book after checking out the audio version from my local library. I've been a student of astrology for 35+ years and have been paid to do charts for folks, so I'm pretty deep into it; however, sometimes its nice to read a beginner book! This one has some insights that gave me a bit of an "aha!" I prefer to use a Placidus house system and the modern rulers when I'm interpreting a chart, but it was interesting to read my chart using the traditional rulers and without the intercepted signs that I have in several house systems. It was also a great book to send to my adult children, both of whom are interested in Astrology and know more than most of their peers, but also benefit from learning more of the basics."You Were Born for This" is a great primer for newbie astrology student and a nice refresher for those of us who have been in the field for many years.

This is a great, accessible introduction to astrology. If you want to learn about the basics in a way that is easy to understand, grab this book!
