The revealing latest from astrologer Taylor (Birth Chart Interpretation Plain & Simple) helps readers use their birth charts to answer life’s deepest questions. Breaking down the chart’s basics, Taylor overviews the celestial points, including the south node, which denotes “where we have come from,” and the north node, which provides clues about one’s future. She theorizes that the rising sign (“The astrological sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born”) is one’s sun sign from a previous life, providing the protection and “confidence to begin anew” in “this brand new... world,” and offering a window into the “soul’s purpose.” With that in mind, Taylor offers unique spiritual lessons for all 12 rising signs. Aries rising signs, for example, are advised not to waste their fiery spirit “on unworthy and unnecessary battles” and instead pursue meaningful causes. Though Taylor’s lucidly explained interpretations resonate, the absence of sample birth charts makes this best suited to those already well-versed in the subject. Dedicated astrology buffs will gain insight into what the stars have to say about their futures. (June)
