Write Your Own Horoscope is the perfect book to take the beginner astrology buff to the next level. Jane Struthers breaks down the various planets, houses and aspects of your natal chart and applies them to specific categories like love and career. She takes the more complex layers of astrology and simplifies them so they're easier to digest and grasp. I found it easy to follow and although it was still difficult to put all those parts together in the end - I found it easier to understand than many other books I've seen. By the end of the book I felt I definitely learned a lot about how to break down a natal chart and give an in depth reading and feel like I have a stronger foundation to take my learning to an even more advanced level.
This is great for people who already have some knowledge and interest in astrology and are looking to build their skills as a reader or give themselves an in depth natal chart reading.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an early e-copy of Write Your Own Horoscope by Jane Struthers!!!

I have always been very interested in horoscopes and this book was very insightful and helpful. Full of beautiful pictures, it was a pleasure to look at and an easy read. Some of the information went over my head, but I look forward to purchasing a physical copy of this book so that I might understand my charts all the better.

Have you ever checked your horoscope in a newspaper or magazine? Seen some nonsensical or vague advice aimed at everyone who shares your sign? If your are interested in astrology, this book is for you! Logically organized and beautifully illustrated, Write Your Own Horoscope gives you a clear understanding of what your horoscope means and how to use it to guide your future.

Jane Struthers begins by showing how astrological signs are related to the planets. She lists the personality signs we associate with each sign. To those broad descriptions, she adds modes and elements using thorough explanations. Chapters on love and sex, work and career, money, and friends and family follow. For example, you’ll learn which three planets influence the way you deal with your work and career. The final chapters on fulfilling your potential and planning your future are followed by an excellent reference section listing online sites, books and astrology programs to use. This is an excellent guide for a beginner or more advanced astrologist. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion and Jane Struthers for this ARC.

I'm not going to lie, flicking through this book before actually reading, it felt incredibly intimidating and complicated. Lots of diagrams, lots of text - lots of astrology technical terms. I thought this book would be too much for a beginner like me.

However, these thoughts were quickly squashed as I began reading. It was so well written, and so easy to understand. The diagrams were super useful and the illustrations were a lovely touch too. Using this book, I feel so much more confident at looking at my birth chart (which I used to find baffling!) and predict things based on the chart.
This book is all you will need if you want to discover more about astrology and horoscopes. I absolutely adored this.
I was given an electronic copy to review, but I have already pre-ordered the hardcopy of the book for when it's released next month!!

Not at all what I was expecting. Too graphic and boring.This book is for someone who wants to get into the depths of horoscopes.

The artwork throughout the text is gorgeous. I was intrigued to start figuring out mapping my different cycles and charting where my emotions might land in the different houses and rotations throughout the seasons. I was also able to evaluate my own relationships more while discussing this with my boyfriend. This is an enlightening, creative read that I think many open-minded readers will enjoy. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

After getting in to astrology earlier this year (thanks to lockdown), I’ve been on the hunt for a book that will help me decipher my birth chart and just to learn more about the subject in general. I wanted one that wasn’t too complicated to follow but that still had all the information I needed.. I’m glad to say this is it! I absolutely loved it!

Write Your Own Horoscope is perfect for anyone interested in astrology, it covers everything you’ll need to know from houses, planets and signs to transits, cusps and much more.

The layout, design and illustrations are great. It’s really well written with more than enough information to get a very clear understanding of astrology and how to use it.

I will definitely be buying this book to add to my collection!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I've been getting really into astrology lately (a fun way to pass the time in quarantine), so I was excited to be approved for this title. Struthers is very clearly an expert on horoscopes, but unfortunately, a lot of the information went straight over my head. The book is designed to give you information about each of the zodiac signs, and I got a lot of benefit from these passages. However, it was also written to help you do your own birth chart, and this is where the explanations seemed too complicated to me. People with some background (or who are smarter than me!) would probably have an easier time deciphering the different terms and coming up with a successful birth chart.

At the end of the day, I think it would be easier to book a reading with an astrologist or use one of the online guides to determine my birth chart so that I could be sure it was 100 percent accurate. I would recommend this book to someone who has a large understanding for zodiac-related stuff already or who needs to learn how to write a birth chart on their own.

I shamelessly love reading my horoscope. This was beautifully designed and gave me better insight to horoscopes, and I think this would be a great gift for anyone!
