This was a quick read about the every sign in the Zodiac. I appreciate the extra information including some numerology as well. The chapter about my sign, Gemini, was spot on. I found myself chuckling about the signs Gemini clashes with in relationships and love, also spot on.

If anyone else is into horoscopes, the zodiac and numerology, this is the perfect book for you. It's clear and concise, and even humorous at some points. Very well written and detailed about all 12 zodiac signs. Highly recommended.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for and ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I know very little about astrology and Zodiac signs and found this book to be very, very helpful. The Taurus sign described me perfectly, the signs for my daughter, husband and even my dog were spot on.
I received this book during a difficult time. My ten year old dog's health was failing fast. I felt that we had a very special, soulmate connection and an understanding and communication with each other beyond words. I looked his birthdate up in this book and found how we do align as true soulmates. This was nice to read as he made his transition.
Zodiac Signs is a fantastic book for newbies like me because it tells you everything you want to know about each sign, without going into overwhelming detail. In concise fashion, Smilena Kirilova just gets to the point using simple terms that we can all understand. She tells us how other signs connect with ours, and ways to help ourselves based on our signs. I will refer to this book often, especially during stressful times like these.

This book was not for me. I don't really like leaving negative reviews, but I agreed to reading this galley in exchange for an honest review.

So... honestly? The writing is light and easy but there is nothing new in this book. It is very, very basic and there is no information presented here that hasn't been presented before. This is the kind of "astrology" book you buy at the grocery store and although it is titled "Zodiac signs", it only talks of the general, oft-attributed characteristics associated with sun signs - the rest of the zodiac and its additional aspects aren't really addressed.

I am not sharing this to Goodreads or booksellers' because as stated I don't really like leaving negative reviews, and this might be the most negative one I've written for NetGalley so far. I tried to figure out a more gentle way of saying that this book requires a very um, "basic" audience to appreciate it and that I found myself concerned about the amount of trees that may be sacrificed to its printing - but I couldn't figure out how.

It does have some good information about the signs and stuff that may pull into one's own astrology practice. Same set for each sign, so same type of information for each.

This was a very easy to read and informative book. Loved the way it was set out and all the information given for all the signs. A great gift book for someone as its relevant to absolutely everyone!

Whether your new to the zodiac signs or not, this is definitely recommended.

Thank you Books Go Social and NetGalley.

If you are looking for a quick summary of zodiac signs This book may be for you. It provides a very simplistic view of astrology. There was nothing new that hasn't been in other astrology books or easily found on the intranet.
I'm confused as why the miscellaneous sections after the signs was included.

A good book that tells you all about your zodiac signs. Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC copy

This was a very easy to flick through and read book. I read two star signs from start to finish and wow - they were quite accurate, particularly for my husband. The pages were set out in such away that you could go baby and forth as needed.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

This is a very informative book,not only about western astrology, but also about Vedic astrology and the difference between them. I found the information about crystals and chakras very good and I loved the last chapter with the stories/parables.
This book is ideal for anyone wanting to learn about these subjects and I think even readers with knowledge would enjoy this book.
Thank you netgalley.

This is a very typical analysis of the twelve horoscope signs, much like the many books of this kind that were published in the 1960s. I couldn't find much that was new here, but maybe the interest in astrology is rising. It's possible that we need a new look at this devotion, maybe with some new insights. But I didn't find anything much different here. Aside from the explanations of the signs, the jewels, flowers, Tarot cards and other things ascribed to each sign, there is a clear want of depth in the commentaries. I wish there was more information about each of the personalities, and what is completely missing is an explanation of how the placement of the planets and rising sign affects the aspects of the sun sign. I wish I could give this book more stars.

I have been interested in astrology for many years, but this book held some interesting information that really was interesting. I skipped to the star sign information section first. Sometimes you find a book that is really close to explaining your strengths and weaknesses, how you interact in a relationship etc. Sometimes it's a total miss. I can honestly say that the Capricorn star sign explanation was so spot on that I was getting goosebumps and found myself reading faster and faster. I checked out several star signs for close friends, and they were equally accurate, I encourage your to read about your star sign and learn more about what makes you, YOU!. Then you can start to learn more about chakras and crystals, and so much more. This is a wonderfully complete resource book on zodiac signs and I highly recommend adding this book to your library.

3.5 stars

I have lots of astrology books (120+) so I probably come at this with a more jaundiced eye. There's lots of good information here, links to Tarot, vedic astrology and crystals, My own introduction to the subject was via Parkers Astrology and Linda Goodman and I would still recommend those books, especially Parkers for beginners. This book is small and a neat introduction for the 21st century but I think you will soon want to move to something a bit meatier.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Books on astrology are always fun, and this is no exception. The book includes information on crystals which was a nice bonus.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a preview copy.

I thought this book was interesting but I also felt like it was like any other book about zodiac signs. I do love to read about mine and the celebrities that share the same sign.

Loved this book. Great information about crystals, chakras and astrology with some numerology thrown in as well. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me review this book. Would recommend.

I received a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is one of the best books I’ve read on the topic of zodiac signs for these reasons:
* lots of information, given in a compact and concise manner
* the description of the star sign I was born under was bang on, This should be an indication that others are just as accurate.
* So much more than just zodiac signs in this book. I love some of the other sections, like the 20 Tibetan Keys to Happiness, crystals and chakras.

This book is well worth reading, jam packed with useful information, detailed enough to be valuable and practical, but short enough to be enjoyable to read and easy to absorb. I bookmarked and highlighted a ton Of pages, and I always find the total number of those are directly related to the value I get from the book..

I’ve always been a fan of astrology and all things that normally are associated with it. Crystals, healing, life path numbers etcetera. I’m a cusp baby, so I always look to see where books place me, Scorpio or Sagittarius; so reading about the traits easily of both was extremely helpful. Briefly I had heard about Vedic astrology and that it switched up the astrology charts, interesting too see myself exactly fully in Scorpio, I’m eager to read more about it. I understand that not everyone believes in this, but it’s always helpful to find those little aspects of your astrology fitting in with yourself and it making a bit more sense. If you enjoy these types of books, have ever been curious about Life Path numbers or crystals definitely check it out. I think we could all stand to open our minds a little more, this universe has so many things to offer and sometimes it just makes sense.

I find Astrology very fascinating. It has been a hobby of mine for very many years. I am not a beginner but am far from an expert .With that said I loved this book and found it very accurate and informative. I also liked how Smilena included crystal grids and how to use them into this book. That is something new to me. She explains about the different crystal and what to use them for. And about Chakras and your life path number Also included was 4 short stories that have a very wise meaning to each. This was a very fast read and a great book to keep handy. It was all very interesting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with little knowledge about astrology, it was very easy to understand.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is so accurate to my star sign and very interesting to read. I loved the section at the end about chakras and their role in our life and found it easy to follow and understand.
Each star sign is spread out in parts and these too are easy to follow and very informative for each star sign.
At the end is the Vedic astrology related to your sign and explains its features which again were very accurate to my sign.
An enjoyable read that I will refer back to in the future.

I love reading about numerology and astrology and as a Pisces, this just made my day!
It's short, well described and in a simple language that you can just read and understand as you go.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
