Author Thersea Reed 
 
A fun and sassy no-nonsense invitation to the practice of astrology with easy-to-understand tools for self-development and conscious living
Astrology books are typically either overly simplistic sun-sign books or overly complicated chart calculations filled with astro jargon. Astrology for Real Life goes beyond simple sun-sign interpretation and at the same time cuts through the complications of horoscope analysis to make understanding your chart in depth, simple and easy. The goal is to make astrology accessible to total newbies and provide a working reference guide for intermediates.
The book is presented in workbook format exploring each part of chart interpretation—signs, planets, houses, aspects—with exercises following each chapter and fill-in-the-blank lessons that take the reader through all the just-learned steps. The tone is warm, fun, and personal, and the exercises give the reader experiential hands-on practice.
The end result: once you learn the basics in Astrology for Real Life, you can easily navigate the cosmos by making them work for you. It’s kind of like a roadmap where we begin by understanding the terrain and the tools available. From there, the planets will guide you in making brave, excellent choices in love, work, and life. It’s profound, fun, and practical. You’ll learn how to interpret your chart with confidence and use astrology in a practical, proactive way, with no astro excuses (blaming the stars for your issues).

“In Astrology for Real Life author Theresa Reed does exactly what she promises to do: break down astrology in a friendly, fun way. Packed full of information, illustrations, charts, graphs, and exercises––or astrocises as she calls them––this practical workbook also serves as a journal. What I loved most about Astrology for Real Life, though, is Reed’s writing style––she’s witty, engaging, edgy, encouraging, and injects a welcome dose of humor into a serious and complex subject. Every beginning astrologer should own a copy of this book––and many of us seasoned stargazers will want to add it to our collections too.”
