Essential Astrology

Lift astrology out of the sun-sign columns, interpret your birth chart, and discover the true meaning of the stars and planets, and their influence on your personality.

“It's unusual for a beginner's astrology book to contain anything that might make a professional astrologer sit up and take notice but Joanna's elegant guide to being your own astrologer does just that. […] the reader will have hours of fun with this book and learn many important new insights into their life.” Cygnus Community

Most people know their sun sign and the character traits that go with it: Leos are leaders, Scorpios are secretive, and Cancerians are sensitive. However, there is much more to astrology than this approach, and in Essential Astrology, best-selling astrologer and tarot reader Joanna Watters gives you the tools you need to gain a deeper understanding of your sign and insights into hidden aspects of your personality. Joanna goes beyond the sun signs to look at the influence of every planet’s position in your birth chart. She will guide you on your personal astrological journey and you will soon be able to interpret your own natal chart.
