Reviews

[Kashiraja Barbagallo]

This is the best book on astrology. Even though it's in theory a western astrology book, it really isn't, it's the best vedic astrology book you can find. anybody can read this book, even those who don't know anything about astrology. It's a very spiritual and practical book.

Better than I was expecting. The approach to each of the sign was new to me and I liked that he showed how we have traits of all the signs. I have a ton of books on astrology and haven't seen anything like this one.

I wrote a whole article on this once for Crystal Clarity magazine. Here it is: http://www.anandaclaritymagazine.com/...

I am a total astrology buff so I've LOADS of books on the subject.

This one is refreshingly different!

Instead of just giving the same run-of-the-mill facts and stats of each sign, this book explains the SPIRITUAL PURPOSE for each sign :-)

It's a quick read and very insightful if you use astrology as part of your daily life :-)

Explains the placement of various planets on horoscope and their effect on us as well as its results

Many people think of astrology as simply describing the more-or-less fixed aspects of our personality: whatever “the stars” may have decreed for us. But as devotees, we know that a wise spiritual teacher can guide us in how to use our “pre-existing tendencies” to achieve further spiritual growth.

This is exactly what Swami Kriyananda has accomplished in this book. Your Sun Sign as a Spiritual Guide gives excellent advice on what we can do, given who we are, to achieve the highest spiritual expression of each of our qualities. With all there is to learn and practice on the spiritual path, it’s very helpful to have someone with Swami Kriyananda’s insight to recommend what we might need to focus on.

Best book on astrology I have read, it was really accurate about my sun sign, Taurus. Very instructive.

Not going to lie, I practically read Your Sun Sign as a Spiritual Guide to devour information on my own sign.
