I Don't Believe in Astrology

I Don't Believe in Astrology Debra Silverman. Very interesting and informative book on Astrology and how the astrological signs influence one's day to day life. Especially appreciated the detailed explanations on Mercury Rising and how it can impact the different Zodiac signs. The print book would be an excellent resource in learning more about how astrology and psychology can work together to understand human nature in ourselves and others.

Thank you to the author, St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

A fun and interesting read for those who enjoy astrology, are mildly interested, or more skeptical (like me). I still don't know if I'm a full believer, but it was interesting to read through all the details about astrology and go beyond the typical sun sign horoscopes that are ubiquitous in society.
I've already recommended the book to a friend who loves astrology because I think she will enjoy the deep dive into all the plants and houses and how they work together.

thanks to the publisher for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

This book is perfect for anyone seeking to understand themselves and others through astrology, with practical insights into sun, moon, and rising signs. It’s straightforward, concise and incredibly insightful.

This is fascinating. I've always been interested in astrology and this book is so thorough. I love that it goes through every zodiac. It could help you understand your friends and loved ones on a deeper level.

I enjoyed reading the book. I am into astrology and the book was very thought-provoking, especially learning about the psychology of each sign. I also enjoyed learning about the Psychology of Pisces because that is my sign! I also feel like if you are not into it, this book will change your perspective!

I loved this! The amount of highlights & notes on my kindle is extraordinary lol. This book was so helpful in understanding myself and my purpose. I felt like it was the perfect mix of astrology and therapy all in one. I learned a lot more about Mercury & Saturn which was so interesting. I feel like most astrology books just focus on either one of the sun, moon, and rising signs or all three, but they don't dive into other signs/planets. I also really enjoyed reading about Pluto! My goodness we are in for such a huge shift.

An excellent introduction to astrology and deep dive into a couple of esoteric astrology topics. I found the explanations and examples engaging and easy to follow. Would recommend this to anyone on an astrology journey - beginners will find Debra Silverman to be a helpful guide and more experienced practitioners will be intrigued by the interesting questions she poses. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the eARC.

Silverman is a popular astrology teacher, I follow her on social media and have participated in online workshops. I might have found the voice in the book a little too breezy if I wasn't already familiar with the author. Instead, I appreciate the excellent job she and her coauthor have done capturing the essence of Silverman's delivery.

While I Don't Believe in Astrology contains a good overview of astrology, it really shines during the in-depth exploration of the rising sign and influence of Saturn. This is also the first time I have delved as deeply into Mercury which I found particularly fascinating. And of course I loved Silverman's no-nonsense yet compassionate way of explaining the strengths and struggles of our shared humanity. I am still not completely sold on the idea that my birth chart accurately reflects my lived experience, but I find a great deal of the information helpful in working towards building communities of care. Understanding differences, respecting differences, figuring out that these individual differences build a stronger whole are difficult lessons for me and I am grateful for teachers like Silverman who take the time to share their experience and insight.

Debra Silverman managed to find a unique niche for an astrology book. She talks in plain language, she is easy to understand, but she gives us the path to gain insight. I highly recommend

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for a digital ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
