Astrology for Real Life: A Workbook for Beginners Paperback – Illustrated, October 1, 2019

This was such a great book. Easy to understand and helped me learn so much!

This is a must read for those curious and newbies to astrology. Theresa Reed writes in a clear, informative, succinct and often humorous way. I now have a much better understanding of astrology and feel that I can confidently interpret charts as long as I have this book nearby to refer to. I highly recommend it!

I bought this book out of guilt. I follow the author on Facebook and, after agreeing that we should all support each other, decided to put my money where my mouth is! And I'm so glad I did.I've been studying astrology in one way or another since the I was a kid in the mid-70s. I am no newbie. I can do a really decent read of a chart, or so I thought.I'm about half-way through the second section (fundamentals) of this book, and I've already quantum-leaped forward in my understanding about charts, trends, and how to get a read. Things I've never noticed are now jumping out at me, and I'm certain it will only get better as I progress.I have a lot of charts I've done on friends and family on hand to practice, and the author's techniques work across the lot of them. I would highly recommend this book if you want to jump in and start reading charts for yourself and others. You will not be sorry to spend the money.

Astrology for Real Life - A No B.S. Guide for the Astro-Curious is the Astrology book I wished for years ago! Also a perfect gift to start someone on a life-long love and understanding of Astrology which might have seemed daunting in the past. Theresa includes nuances and tips which I haven’t come across before. I like how Theresa presents & lays out the workbook; it’s practical, fun & interactive! After the chapters you have your “astrocise" and journaling so you can work with your own chart to reinforce what was covered. As a Numerologist I like the way Theresa presents the “high vibe” and “low vibe” with the signs, houses and planets and how they play with each other. As she mentions “You can choose to manifest the positive or negatives in your chart, (I don’t believe in “bad” charts; I believe in tendencies but we still have the free will to choose how we want to show up in the world.” You will gain a greater understanding of the energy of the planets, houses and signs relating to us personally and collectively starting from our Natal chart and as they move through the heavens, so you can see how their energy is effecting you now and in the future. Yes, Theresa shows you how to work your way around that tricky Ephemeris “like a Bawse”! You’re going to love this book; discovering more about Astrology to help you in current & future planning, living intentionally and having some tricks up your sleeve for those planetary events!Maggie Lukowski

I am not that keen on astrology but I enjoyed this reading very much. The book is well structured, informative and practical, and pleasant to read. The right balance for a demanding beginner.It is a fair reference too, though not as comprehensive as other beginners books so will not be quite enough on its own.

Finally, an astrology book I can get my non-mathematical head around! I've been using some basic astrological associations in my Tarot work, but I've always been curious about the rest of the story. Aspects and houses and all that just seemed like too many layers to get my head around, but Theresa Reed makes it much easier to follow. Her strengths are to provide practical explanations, starting with basics and then moving into more detailed areas of astrology, and to make the reader practice analyzing the concepts she's just explained. This is Theresa's super power: Exercises clearly and engagingly offered to get the reader to put this information into their own head for future use. Practice make useful, and as always, Theresa makes everything useful. Talk about added value on every page. This is it for me.

I don't consider myself an astrology newbie—I've been studying it in an ad hoc fashion for some years. Even so, I learned so much from Theresa Reed's ASTROLOGY FOR REAL LIFE. The content is beyond comprehensive and presented in an easily accessible manner even if you don't know a lick about horoscopes. Sun signs and planets? They're all here, but ASTROLOGY FOR REAL LIFE also delves into deeper astrological waters such as chart progressions, astroids, and chart patterns. Reed is able to offer the nitty-gritty but also pan back to put everything she's presented into context. Also, her writing is really witty, like your real life smart-as-heck girlfriend who just wants to spill the tea on everything you ever wanted to know about astrology, and then some.In summation, ASTROLOGY FOR REAL LIFE is *the* astrology book I wish I'd had way back when. Highly recommended.

I am new to astrology and became curious after watching The Tarot Lady (Theresa Reed, the author) on her Instagram. She talked about transits, the moon being in certain signs, having certain signs in "houses." It was all a bit confusing, but it was enough to get me interested. When she said she was releasing a book on Astrology, I KNEW I had to have it.I have purchased books on Astrology before, but they lacked character and were dry. If you want to feel like someone is there guiding you through Astrology in a casual, down-to-earth format, this is THE astrology book for you. I love Theresa, and she is a wonderful teacher, and I love this book. I have learned so much about astrology, and I even ordered my birth certificate so I could confirm my actual birth time (turns out, mom was right...but still!).I highly recommend this book AND I highly recommend the other books that Theresa has written (Tarot for Troubled Times and the Tarot Coloring Book) and her instagram, @thetarotlady. She does live streams on Instagram in the morning for astrology forecasts. I love it! Tangents, transits, and tarot...or Tarot, transits, and tangents? I don't remember, but it's awesome!
