Sara Shipman Real Life Astrology: Planets, Signs & Houses

In this astrology book, join Sara Shipman on a grand tour of the planets, signs & houses of your natal chart. Planets, signs and houses are the building blocks of natal chart astrology and, in this comprehensive and detailed book, Sara Shipman sets out her approach to this subject with her characteristic lucid, insightful and down to earth approach to astrology and explains to you - the reader - how astrology works in real life. From the outset, Sara reminds you that birth chart astrology needs to be rooted in lived experience, so in the first chapter of this astrology book she sets out her detailed approach to this complex and fascinating subject. She then takes us on a voyage to the planets, where you are given an in depth explanation of how the planets in astrology function in your everyday life. Each one of them, from the Sun through to Pluto, has a specific role to play in forming your unique character. The zodiac signs in astrology provide the energy each planet uses to express its essential nature. Sara reminds you that every zodiac sign's energy is available for you to use - whether or not that sign is occupied by a planet - so getting to know how those energies manifest in an every day context will help you to understand why you are such a complex character. Why do you respond one way in certain situations, yet feel like a different person in others? It's the mix of zodiac sign energy that makes you express yourself in so many different ways. Finally, we stop by the natal chart houses, as they represent the places where the action takes place. Life is about lived experience; as you explore the birth chart houses, you will discover why each house in natal chart astrology is so important. The houses in astrology set the stage for your life performance: they show you where your primary interests and life activities take place and, when particular houses are emphasised in your natal chart, they show you where your focus needs to be. The planets, signs & houses are the 'what', 'how' and 'where' of astrology; if you understand the treasure they contain within, you'll begin to understand yourself at the deepest level. Real Life Astrology: Planets Signs & Houses is an accessible and easy to read astrology book and it's a must read for anyone who wants to move their knowledge of natal chart astrology to the next level. Real Life Astrology: Planets Signs & Houses is the first book in the Real Life Astrology series of books.
