Fantastic addition to the spiritual/astrological genre especially when it comes to finding your calling (career or vocation) very accessible and easy to read. Highly recommend :)

Thank you to the author and publisher for giving me a copy of this book to review. I didn't get as much out of it as I was hoping for and therefore didn't finish it. As a result, I'm giving it a middling rating.

I have been a huge fan of Natalie’s for awhile now. This book did not disappoint. It was a quick read for me and helped me look at my life in a way that felt more intuitive and in line with where I want to be.

Loved this! I have read similar books to this one, but I feel each writer has a different approach to this topic and I enjoyed this author's unique outlook on this specific topic. I can definitely see myself recommending this to library patrons and also to friends and family who have read similar books.

I really enjoyed the layout and covering the different planets, signs and houses. I really liked that the author touched base on the meaning of retrograde planets in the natal chart. Although briefly covered on each planet, it was great to see that it was included and touched upon. At the end of the book the author also includes a description of all the different glyphs in astrology, and key words to what each of the houses mean. The descriptions provide were very compact. A little too compact for a topic that has so much depth. There was too much white space which could have been filled with more comprehensive information and guidance. While it was incredibly refreshing to see an astrology book on career paths instead of love, there could have been so much more in-depth information could have been covered. I'm surprised that there was no mention of second and sixth house cusps and their respective roles.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is excellently written and described but I just couldn't get into it when reading. I normally like this genre however it is not my favourite. For someone who loves this genre, you would love this book without a doubt.

It is a great book! It is a great book for a beginner and well for everyone. It is informative and thorough. I love astrology and the way the author uses it for a career and purpose guide is wonderful.

Thank you, NetGalley for the chance to read and review this book!

I feel like having my own copy to reference would be really great, so that I can try to look up things. It's very basic and made for newbies, but really does a good job as an introduction. It also really made me feel like I need to look up my time of birth again because I don't know if I agree with my chart.

This book is eye opening. You can either read it cover to cover like I did or you can just read your sign. Either way works but personally I think you will “get” more if you read it all. It’s so fascinating to learn about all the signs.

I really enjoyed this book. It was well put together and easy to read, easy to understand. I really enjoyed how this simplifies what can otherwise be confusing about astrological charts. Very well organized, and a great way to learn about your natal charts. This book offers more clarity than most online sights. Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for allowing me to review. This is definitely one for my keeper shelf to refer back to again.

I’ve never actually read a book about astrology until this one and I’m glad I gave it a try.

Your Cosmic Calling is a guide to understanding astrology and learning more about yourself as a person.

I feel that both beginners and experts would be able to find something to learn in this book.

Please note I am not reviewing this as work of literature, but as a tool/workbook as is its intended use.

This was a really interesting find for me - generally for astrology books I tend to think that this information can easily be found on the internet for free. However, the author was really spot on with her descriptions without using the cliche descriptors for signs we are all used to reading.
The premise is to bring information to beginners in this area, however, I found that it has enough information even for someone who already had a base knowledge and this would be handy to have around friends and family who are curious as a reference.
I like the structure of this book and how it shows you how to figure out your chart and use this workbook as a tool to unlock the meaning of each symbol. At the end there is also a glossary for all the symbols you encounter when reading a chart and this is really useful!

I love books about astrology and I am proud to add this to my collection. Find Your Cosmic Calling is an amazing guide to understanding astrology and learning more about yourself as a person. Experts and beginners alike can find something to learn in this book. 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. All you need to do is plug in your birth chart and then you can use this book to look up each planet and sign and how it influences you based on your chart reading. I really loved the spacing and organization of this book, and thought there was so much useful information for beginners and experts alike.

This was a fun read with colours that drew me in! The book is set out clearly to help get the best out of all the information provided and the sections were helpful. However , I only took more notice of the signs relevant to me.

Thank you Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for this copy of Find Your Cosmic Calling. This year I want to get more into astrology and this book was a good start. If you want a introduction, this was a quick read. If you want to take it a step further, have your birth chart ready so you can look up your exact planets for a more detailed reading.

I honestly loved this book. It was a super great intro to more detailed aspects of astrology and actually gave me some insight and motivation regarding what my calling is! In a time where I've been needing some clarity, this was incredibly welcome.

I love books that help you dive into your zodiac. It was a lot of information and great at going deeper into your different planets.

Useful, educational book particularly for beginners to the Zodiac who want to understand more about how it works, personality traits and compatibility and so on. Lots of information, and easy to read. Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a lovey visual book in parts. However it is not, in my opinion, for a beginner. Whilst I liked reading about my own sign and loved ones signs, I felt this was more of a how to book. How to do your own chart etc rather than a reference book.

Unless you have to time to stop at each stage to do as instructed then it will take a while to go through this book. There is emphasis on knowing your exact birth time which hardly anyone I know actually knows. I may reference this in the future but at the moment is it too in-depth for me.

I was provided this book by netgalley for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC of Find Your Cosmic Calling by Natalie Walstein!

This is a great book for beginner who don’t know anything about their horoscope and birth chart. Everything is very clearly explained and easily understood. There were some points that I did t know about like the north and south node, so even though I’ve read several books on this subject, I was able to learn something new.

I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to learn about their birth chart and some suggestions on what their job or calling might be.
