Decoding the Stars: A Modern Astrology Guide to Discover Your Life's Purpose

by Allison Scott

Overview

Find harmony between your self and the cosmos. In Decoding the Stars, examine the details of your birth chart and discover your soul’s true purpose through astrology.

Astrological archetypes are highly fluid and subjective in nature and your personal relationship with them can change over time. While we may look to our zodiac signs to help us navigate our relationships, career, finances, and family matters, astrology can also help us align the personality and the soul.

You may have already learned how to interpret the external influences through astrology—the paths your life may take, who you will make friends with and love. Now’s the time to find what’s inside you. This guide will help you understand your desires, skills, and unique talents and guide you toward identifying your purpose and motivation.

With this book, you will awaken self-knowledge and awareness of your larger spiritual planetary influences. The more self-aware you become, the greater your possibility of finding inner peace and happiness. With a walk through your birth chart, reflective questions, and writing prompts, Decoding the Stars will help you to better understand your creative spirit and bring your life’s purpose to light.

Decoding the Stars is part of the Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia series, elegantly designed and beautifully illustrated books that offer comprehensive, display-worthy references on a range of intriguing topics, including dream interpretation, techniques for harnessing the power of dreams, flower meanings, and the stories behind signs and symbols.

Also available in the series: The Complete Book of Birthdays, The Complete Language of Flowers, The Complete Book of Dreams, and The Complete Guide to Astrological Self-Care.

Editorial Reviews

11/14/2022

Astrologer Scott does a stellar job of explaining astrology in her debut. After establishing the basic tenets of astrology, including how to compose and read one’s birth chart, Scott explains sun signs, which outline people’s essential natures; rising signs, which provide insight into personal motivation; and moon signs, which reveal particulars of one’s emotional state. Scott digs deeper into the 12 astrological houses, laying out how to interpret the significance of house placements in a birth chart, and how to integrate the various signs. Birth charts for the likes of Emily Brontë and Ursula K. Le Guin serve as teaching tools, and sections are punctuated by questions for personal reflection (“Considering your Moon sign, what kinds of daily rituals and habits best support your mental and physical well-being?”). Scott thoughtfully explores astrology as a useful system that can help the curious deepen their self-knowledge, while still being honest about its limitations. Amateur astrologers will find plenty to appreciate in this first-rate guide to deciphering the stars. (Jan.)
