Explore more about your signs with this amazing new book which explains well the zodiac signs. The cover, the contents, the interactive exercises are perfect!
Ten short, fun chapters which provides all the information you need at a glance about the zodiac signs.
The book provides enough information about what’s unique and what’s important for each sign. Love the second half of the book as the chapters there provide new insights and information which I wasn’t aware about before. And yes, the last chapter is special as it digs deeper into birth charts!
Do definitely check out this book. It’s fun, informative, colourful and appealing!
Thank you, Zeitgeist, for the advance reading copy.

3.5 Best I’ve come across for beginners and I definitely think I have a better understanding of astrology but I think if there were more focus on the exercises it would have helped a lot more.

July 19, 2023I feel guilty leaving a 1-star review for a book with so few reviews, so I will leave this unrated.
This book does almost nothing better than any other astrology book out there other than maybe the reflection questions. I do like that there was a large focus on your house ruler vs the natural house ruler which I have not experienced much with.
This book spends most of its pages going through the houses and all the planets. At the end of each section you can fill in your own chart answers and there’s usually one or two reflection questions. Then at the very end she throws together aspects, asteroids, dominant houses, lunar nodes, and a variety of other subjects. While this sounds very interesting some of these topics are given just half a page and moved on from. Not even any “workbook” activities for them. On the flip side there is also the issue of some things being quick overviews with only one example but then being told to reflect on how it is in your birth chart. The book did not make me feel equipped to handle a lot of the questions in the later parts.
At times this book has some mistakes as well as organization issues. For the inner, social, and outer planets you are asked to compare keywords of your house ruler vs the natural one. Unfortunately, the outer planets don’t have keywords listed but still have this question in it. This really gave the book a rushed feel for me. On page 35 you are asked to think about the differences and similarities of the natural ruling signs and your own… at that point you haven’t even learned about the signs yet, so it makes no sense. Or the instructions are poorly worded. Either way it doesn’t make me happy with this book.
If this book interested you, I would instead 100% recommend Astrology for Real Life instead. It goes into more detail and has more examples. It also has the workbook element with things to fill in.

Stefanie Caponi is the Linda Goodman of today! I have been dabbling in astrology for 3 decades and there are so many aspects that I have yet to gain a solid grasp on. Guided Astrology Workbook is bridging that gap for me. This workbook is gorgeous and informative for both seasoned skygazers and brand new witch babies! The information is laid out so throughly, yet simply, that I found it more approachable than other astrology books I have used. The greatest gift is how the book walked me through crafting my own birth chart and laying out the nuances of my own celestial map. I am walking away with a greater understanding of myself and my relationship with the cosmos!
Thank you, NetGalley for the advanced copy!

I’m a newbie to astrology. Sure I used to open Seventeen magazine or Cosmo and read my horoscopes as much as any teenage girl, but apart from that it’s not something I’d ever delved into before this year. A few months ago I looked up my birth chart for the first time and downloaded an astrology app, so this book popping up to request felt like an exciting sign!!
The Guided Astrology Workbook is straightforward, well-laid-out, and a very interactive read and I found myself wishing I had a physical copy to write in and annotate. It’s really set up so the reader can move at their own pace and I think is the kind of book where you get out of it, what you put into it. I gained a good chunk of insight as a beginner, but I think there would be some good tips even for those experienced in astrology. I probably would have gained even more from it if I was able to physically work through the book in printed form, rather than just reading about the process digitally.
Thanks NetGalley, Zeitgeist and Stephanie Caponi for the arc to read. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book is so informative and fun.
I have tried to understand my full natal chart before and most books get really far into the weeds. This book balanced information with interest perfectly.

This is a great resource, which I wish I had when I started my self-taught journey through astrology.
It is simple, it is light, and it is quick to understand.
I liked the illustrations and the succinct way the author goes about teaching how to read the birth chart and starting to exercise ourselves.
This is a practical book, so it contains the theory and the practical proposal at the end of each chapter. This is an extra point that I want to emphasize: the practical part. This is the only way to learn!
So I am very excited for this book to come out as soon as possible and I can alert the Portuguese publishers to publish it here as well.

For nearly 20 years, I have been learning about astrology and applying it to myself and people in my life. While I know quite a bit about the different signs, planets, dualities, modalities, and so on, there are also aspects to astrology I've never fully understood (especially houses and everything related to reading a birth chart).
Guided Astrology Workbook is exactly the resource I needed to finally learn about those slightly more advanced elements. In reading through this workbook, I now have a much better comprehension of my own birth chart, how the houses relate to my different planetary signs, and the relationships between those signs in my chart. This book offers informative yet easy-to-understand explanations for each planet and how each sign works within the different planets. It also goes into those trickier parts, such as aspects. Admittedly, I'll need to reread certain sections, particularly towards the end, to ensure I have a stronger understanding.
If you're new to astrology or, like me, are more intermediate, this is a valuable resource to improve your knowledge of astrology and apply it to your birth chart. I'll happily add Guided Astrology Workbook to my collection of astrology books.

Who else has read books that are really confusing and left you feeling like you weren’t ever going to understand astrology. Me! But this book changes that. It’s takes the topics and breaks them down into smaller, consumable chunks that help you get a grasp on the topic before moving into the next.
Definitely for newbies, and that’s exactly what deliver on.

I recently had the pleasure of reading and reviewing Guided Astrology Workbook by Stefanie Caponi. This book is a fantastic guide to understanding the essential facets of astrology. The author begins by explaining that your birth chart is a snapshot of the positions of the planets at the moment you were born. With this understanding, she then guides you as you learn to interpret seemingly complex astrological information with ease.
One thing that immediately caught my attention was the stunning cover on this book. It certainly carries on into the book with brilliant illustrations that add value to each section. I found it well laid out and easy to follow, making it perfect for newbies like me! The workbook is chock full of information about astrology and all the different signs, planets, etc., which makes it an excellent resource for those interested in learning more about themselves or others.
Overall, Stefanie Caponi’s Guided Astrology Workbook is a must-read for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of astrology or discover more about themselves. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking insight and clarity in their lives. After reading this digital version, I am definitely buying myself a physical copy!

This is a beautiful, yet thorough, beginners' guide to astrology. It doesn't go as in depth on every topic as one would get from more specialized books, but the dive that it does take gives the perfect amount of info to get you going and make you hungry for more. The section on birth charts alone makes this a worthwhile read. So many people struggle to fully grasp this topic, however this workbook gives you the details in an easily digestible way, making it much more easily grasped by even the younger/more beginner readers.
To make an already good tool even better, you get sections on each of the different zodiac signs that allow you to take personal notes and turn it into a sort of read along study guide that you can personalize however you like best. Definitely recommend if you happen to be curious about the topic or know any burgeoning astrologers.

This was a quick read, beginner friendly, for sure expanded my knowledge quickly and clearly. This will be a great to have on hand as a reference. Overall, highly recommended. I deducted a star because I feel the descriptions of what the graphics should look like, were not always easy to understand. For example, in the book, each wheel illustration example shows the houses lining up exactly with a zodiac sign so you can easily figure out which house lines up with each sign, but the charts I printed off from the site she recommends, did not line up like that for mine or my daughter’s, but there is no illustrated mention of this; she talks about cusps but a picture of what it looks like and how to identify where your cusp is on your printout would make more sense because it is not that cut and dried. I ended up googling it.

Besides reading my horoscope back when I was a teen, astrology has never really been a thing for me. However, the older I’ve gotten, the more casually interested I’ve grown. I was therefore especially interested in this book, since it’s a step-by-step guide to reading your birth chart and I’m a complete beginner to this.
In order to use this workbook, you’ll need to access your birth chart, but the author walks you through this process and it really couldn’t be easier.
The illustrations here are gorgeous and the illustrations concise and well-written. Very thankful to have read a copy of this.
Enjoyable and enlightening, an activity for tweens and adults alike.

This book is more of a beginning into astrology, and I wouldn’t say that this guide will give you deep insight into astrology, but it’s a pretty good guide and workbook for beginners. It was a very quick and easy read for me.
The book can help you begin learning about astrology as it gives you basic information about the different signs, planets, elements, modalities, and aspects, and it also briefly mentions the most popular asteroids and planets in retrograde.
The workbook can be fun to learn or practice on how to draw and write out your chart or charts for others, and fill in the information about your chart in the exercises. The exercises in the workbook are also better suited for beginners or for practising what you already know and have learned.
Since this is a workbook you might feel like you want to get a physical copy of it so you can fill in your own information and thoughts in the physical book, or if you get a digital copy you can draw and write out the exercise pages in an own notebook and that way you can truly make your own astrology workbook and add even more things into it as you learn more besides the exercises from only this book.

I loved Stephanie Caponi's Tarot book so I jumped on this workbook. I am an extreme beginner for astrology and there were certain parts of this book that were definitely beginner friendly and other parts that left me with questions. Some of the questions at the end of the chapter didn't really line up with the information action we were given. I think it maybe needed a few people to test it out. That being said I learned a lot of info in 200 pages and it made me curious to learn more.
my biggest pet peeve was that she told us to use a certain system for our birth charts but then the charts she wanted us to fill in were definitely for a different system based on how the houses lined up with signs. Placidius vs whole sign.

I requested to get a copy of this book, and though it was later approved, I was desperate and bought my own copy so here it goes. The book is easy to understand and follow, and I love that now I was able to write on my own copy. You will be able to get a better understanding of your houses and placements and will go much deeper than just your sun sign. I see this book as a great introduction to your birth chart, and it can pinpoint if there are any planets in astrology that you should focus on.
Thanks NetGalley, Zeitgeist and Stephanie Caponi for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This has been one of my favorite guided books I've read on the subject! I always look for books to suggest to friends or novices looking to learn astrology and this Has just become my number 1 recommendation for everyone and not to mention the way she breaks everything down is very easy to understand and I love and adore the artwork as well as the layouts for the build your own charts and the questions to get to know yourself on a deeper level is just the cherry on top.
This is the absolute perfect addition to everyone's libraries.

Utterly worthless. Not very clear for one's personal chart. I bought this for another person's chart (as I've done my own chart way too many times) and it's not deep at all. She cheats by using the sun signs as a major part of the book, and expects you to fill in the Modalities, Dualities, etc. from the paragraphs next to the workbook section. Why didn't she just do it?
Questions for reflection aren't all that great, either. Maybe she means this book is something you should refer to over and over. I wouldn't.

The Guided Astrology Workbook by Stefanie Caponi is an excellent guide for beginners looking to learn about the world of astrology. I found this book to have a great layout and structure which executed the information well. I love the proactive quality of this book, allowing readers to fill in prompts about their own astrological signs and placements. Thank you to Netgalley, Stefanie Caponi and Zeitgeist for the ARC of this book.

I've used other astrology workbooks and they were not as good as this one. I really like how it explained things and how it gives you sheets to fill out that help you learn about the signs and placements so that you will be able to read and understand birth charts without a book after you do this workbook. Easy to understand, great worksheets, cute art, 5 stars!
October 4, 2023
This is not very beginner friendly. The book does not explain the concepts which makes the reflection sections frustrating and confusing. The workbook also does not offer any examples which makes it hard for visual learners.
Overall not the resource I was hoping for and I will not be recommending it to others

I’m going to keep this review short. This is THE astrology book I’ve been looking for by an author I trust. Even as an advanced tarot reader, I still refer to her book often. Long story short, I’m headed to Barnes and Noble as soon as I can to pick this book up.

It's a lot. I had no idea if I was doing it correctly with the dials and the plotting out things on the diagram. It helped having my print out, but it's a lot either way. A fun way to get acquainted with your personal chart and aspects. :)

I don't have any other astrology type book to compare this to as this is the first I have read but I found it interesting and I enjoyed making my chart or at least trying to. I found it quite interesting. Definitely great for a beginner just getting started with signs and all.

I found it really helpful, it helps you learn how to read your astrology sign and how to align into your life;.
