The Stories Behind Astrology

One stellar astrology book that's really enlightening! The author's expertise shines through in this well-crafted guide to understanding the cosmos and its influence on our lives. A must-read for anyone curious about astrology and eager to explore its profound insights.

Very informative of the stories behind the astrology signs and the stars in the sky they connect to. The artwork is beautiful and the information is factual. Would highly recommend for anyone who does not know the stories connect to the sky and signs.

This was a such an original take on an astrology book! I've never read about the mythology behind it.

Of course, my own sign (Scorpio) was my favorite. I've always related so much to my star sign and I like to think if it weren't obvious which sign the story was meant for, it would still be my favorite.

The illustrations were beautiful too! I might go out and buy this when it comes out so I can have a physical copy.

I love the pictures inside this book. I love the break down of each sign. Idk if it gave the background information on astrology in the way I thought it would but it’s still an excellent read.

From the start, the tale captivates readers with vivid descriptions of the stars and their stories. Each chapter focuses on a specific constellation, relating its astronomical relevance to an astrological sign or planet. The tale is interesting, with intriguing details that bring characters like Perseus and Cassiopeia to life. What distinguishes this book is its focus on the cultural diversity of astrological myths. The author highlights not only Greek and Roman tales but also stories from Egyptian, Native American, and Asian cultures, providing the reader with a worldwide perspective that broadens their understanding of astrology. The language is both accessible and informative, combining scientific insights with an entertaining narrative style. Readers will appreciate the lucid explanations of astrological ideas, as well as the engaging anecdotes that depict their origins. However, while the research is admirable, certain sections may be too much for people unfamiliar with the subject. Overall, "The Stories Behind Astrology" is a beautifully produced book that invites readers to engage with the universe through the prism of mythology. It prompts consideration of how these old stories continue to influence our lives today. This book is bound to arouse surprise and interest, making it an excellent addition to any bookshelf.

"The Stories Behind Astrology" by Alison Davies is another magical addition to her collection of enchanting works. This book is packed with beautiful illustrations and an abundance of knowledge, making it a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about astrology. As a fan of Davies, I eagerly requested this book and was not disappointed. My only critique is that in the eBook version, the text is quite small and dense, which made it a bit challenging to read. Despite this, it's a captivating and informative read that any astrology enthusiast will treasure!

As an astrologer I appreciate, The Stories Behind Astrology.

To begin to understand the archetypes of astrology is to understand the stories in which the archetypes of the zodiacs were created from.

Alison does a beautiful job interpreting the stories and this book is stunning!

Highly recommend to understand on a mythical level.

Based on Roman and Greek mythology, each zodiac sign has a tale and so do the planets. Narrated in The Stories Behind Astrology by Alison Davies, they give meaning to the celestial bodies and a light to the mind of the reader.

I liked the book because of many reasons. It gives meaning to things in life. The stories opened a page into an ancient culture through the legends they left behind. The book is well researched and I loved the colorful illustrations. I recall at some point wondering if the old gods of the time are still old gods of now.

One thing that cooled the high praise I had for the book was when I got to the Moon. There the tune stayed off and the flow of words were different. In short it was off key.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. This is because it is well researched and informational.

I recommend The Stories Behind Astrology by Alison Davies to mystics and spiritual practitioners. Lovers of mythology and celestial beings will love it. Researchers will find a wealth of information therein. It is a book that requires reading by steps but not necessarily in any order.
