I've always been curious about astrology and was really interested in this book. I found it to be easy to understand even though it provided a lot of detailed information. It it great for a beginner who doesn't know much about astrology or information on their own sign.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me a free digital Advanced Reading Copy (ARC e-book) of this title. I really enjoyed it! The Astrology Fix by Theresa Cheung was a great read. I love books about astrology and I am proud to add this to my collection. There are 12 signs in the zodiac, each being represented in your chart in by the twelve different houses. For example, your rising sign rules your first house and describes the way you present yourself to the world. Your sun sign, the zodiac sign you typically look for when reading your horoscope, describes your inner ego, while your moon sign rules your feelings. From these components, an astrologer can develop a thumbnail sketch of your personality, and by knowing this hopefully you can improve your life. This book does a great job of introducing readers to the different meanings of the houses and signs, and showing us how we can use that knowledge to better our lives.

The Astrology Fix is a great starter book if you are looking for a book that not only gives you the basics but also easily dives a little deeper into astrology without leaving you in the dust completely lost. I was so excited recently to have done a birth chart but I had no idea how to read it or even what it all meant! Rising signs? Moon, Mercury and Retrograde? Insert glazed eyes of uncertainty. This was a great tool for unearthing what it all meant and how these universal forces work for and against my favor.


The illustration throughout are beautifully done. I recommend for anyone looking to know more or wishing to dive a little deeper into their astrological knowledge.

It's an okay book, but a little bit too fluffy - so definitely it's more for fun rather than a proper guide. 50% of it is fluff about astrological signs, which could've been either summarized in less pages, or developed in the many pages they occupy in this book. But the illustrations are really pretty (and the reason why I gave it two stars).

The actual rituals... quite superficial. They will definitely accomplish something if you believe in them, but overall... they feel just as much as filler as the astrological sign overviews.

Lovely book with beautiful illustrations throughout, and the sections about rituals for every sign and for situations in life was really novel and informative. However, did feel much of the book's information would be pertinent only if one had their birth chart already drawn up and in front of them while reading, so this bit felt a little like a let-down. Still, if one is conversant with astrology, there is still a wealth of suggestions to dig into throughout

A beautifully illustrated book and I found the information regarding the elements and sun and moon very clear to read and understand.
I liked the various spells and exercises which made this book different from others.
Unfortunately I was only able to read this on my phone which made it difficult to read easily or comment further.

I really liked the amount of detail in this. It wasn't too much or too confusing. I thought the author did a good job elaborating on information while keeping it easy to follow.

*Netgalley gave me an electronic ARC in return for an honest review* Thank you to them and the publisher.

The perfect holiday or birthday gift for those interested in the galaxies beyond our humble planet, how they appear in our sky and of course, how they can affect us by their positions at times in our life.

Really, truly, you can never know enough about Astrology and the movement of stars. We keep learning, and this book definitely helps even experienced readers on their journey.

With charms and other such ways to aid your planetary and personal problems, this book has it all.

Another wonderful read!

This is a self-care book with a twist, insight on and activities for your astrological sign. It’s more than that, though, as it’s not just all about your sun sign (you know, the answer when someone asks, “What’s your sign?”). This book incorporates elements from your star sign, rising sign, moon sign, and planets into activities to help you through the tough times as well as routine self-care to keep you going no matter your mental state.

I’ve always known my sign, but I never figured out my rising or moon signs, and this book helped me do that, which was really cool. To take full advantage of this book, you’ll need to have and understand your full chart, but don’t worry. There is plenty of insight without knowing all of that, and you can figure out a LOT by yourself to gain a better understanding of yourself and what will work for you. Equipped with just your sun sign, you’ll find enough in these pages to get you in a good routine.

I love how this book is organized. All the sun signs are accounted for with more info about who you are. There are instructions for calculating your rising sign as well as what that means for your personality. There’s helpful information about how to find your moon sign and how that affects your personality, and finally, self-care routines and small things you can do that benefit your sign in every day life.

I’m not super knowledgeable when it comes to astrology, but I am super interested in it, and I love all the cool, new resources that technology has made available for learning more. Also, this book has killer art, so it’s a beautiful journey through your sign. It’s out now if you’re looking for a cool, unique gift for a loved one this holiday season, or if you’re just looking to add some insight into yourself for your own holiday reading plans.

I think this book is worthy to be included in any library shelf on astrology. It was well laid out, with interesting info to keep anyone engaged. I'd recommend to both beginner and advance reader as I felt it had something for everyone.

I have been studying astrology for years and read many books on the subject. The Astrology Fix added some new aspects and techniques to my tool box of knowledge. I liked the rituals (fixes) on how to enhance Love and Inspiration, Health and Success by channeling the power of planets and signs. I will definitely be making a good-luck charm as well as try affirmation to Raise Sexual Energy, and Healing Heartbreak bath sounds very good. I Loved beautiful illustrations in this book, they made my reading experience more enjoyable. I give contend 3.75 stars (because of some astrological inconsistencies) and 5 stars for amazing art.

As a newcomer to astrology, I was really excited to read this book. I’m still at the learning stage and therefore trying to soak up as much information as I can.

The Astrology Fix started with simple but very clear meanings of the sun, moon, rising signs, and the elements, then briefly touched on the planets and the houses. It was set out well and was very easy to understand, I already knew most of the information in this section of the book and expected a little bit more (specifically on reading natal charts), however it will be a good basic refresher for me to look back on if and when I need it.

The rest of the book is made up of chants, incantations, spells, meditations, visualisations and exercises for a whole range of topics from health & well being to love and protection. They were really interesting to read and quite simple in their requirements compared to others I’ve read. I’m definitely going to try a few.

Overall I think it’s a good resource to have on your shelf. The illustrations throughout are beautiful and although the author has kept it simple, there are still plenty of things to learn and try.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

As a lover of astrology, I was excited to read and review The Astrology Fix. The author took the random bits of information you learn about astrology and added depth. I was able to reconcile my behavior with my astrological sign and the signs of others. I am still reading this book as I want to read slowly to gain all the insights the author has provided. Also, the pictures are amazing and representative of the content.

I've always been interested in astrology, but have always been a bit daunted by birth charts and anything about the 'houses' - it all gets quite overwhelming.
This book goes into enough detail that you feel you are learning something new, but without being too complicated and overwhelming.
I really enjoyed reading it.

The illustrations we super unique too. The only reason I didn't give it 5* was that some of the information about my own chart was different in this book compared to others I have read.

The title captured my attention and as I started to read, it kept me focused on the subject. Written with clarity and precision. Our interest does not waver. There are many book s on astrology but this book offers something new and unique. Author has touched upon many topics pertaining to each zodiac sign and explained every point delightfully. Grab a copy and get enlightened on many matters which was beyond our comprehension.
