Trust Your Timing by Alice Bell

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you to Netgalley, Alice Bell, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Life is unpredictable. But most of us don't know how much influence the celestial bodies have on our lives. Astrology is a divinatory practice used all over the world since ancient times. Though it's considered a pseudoscience, we can't say that it is nonsense. Just like any other subject, Astrology is a lifelong learning process - the more you experience, the more you understand yourself and your life.

This book begins from the basics of astrology, to the very details of how to predict and understand your relationships. It's all about the work of the distant celestial bodies whenever something happens in your life. In this book, Alice Bell has provided in great detail how to read your birth chart and interpret its components, how to read your synastry and transit charts, transits and aspects of different planets and their influences on relationships, and real-life examples of herself and her clients.

It also contained images to explain certain topics and positions of the planets across the birth chart. Her writing was clear and easily understandable. As the book shifted from basics, the content got a little heavy - by which I mean it delved deep into astrology. However, I am comforted by the fact that I can come back and read whichever part I want as this book can be conveniently used as a guide.

It was a very thorough book, and I enjoyed reading it, comparing and decoding my birth chart alongside. I recommend you to read it if you are an astrology nerd like me or would like to understand the relationship aspect of your life.

Trust Your Timing is an astrology book that helps you navigate your birth chart in reference to relationships and finding yourself. I am casually into astrology. I think of it as a fun way to explore yourself, your motivations, and your relationships. 

This book walks you through all of the aspects of an astrological birth chart. I was well versed in sun, moon, and rising signs, but this book goes even further as it teaches you about houses, angles, planets, aspects, and more. While the information does get complex, the author explains things in a very straightforward way. I learned so much about how to interpret different aspects of your birth chart and bring them all together. This book focuses on learning this information to specifically understand romance. I found the author's analysis and way of interpreting things very interesting. 

If you are also casually interested in knowing more about astrology, this book is perfect for beginners or those with a foundational knowledge of astrology.

For someone who is not all familiar with astrology, this was very interesting to read, especially about relationships. This book made me go back and think about some of my past relationships and get a better understanding of why some of them didn't work out. It was overwhelming at times because it's A LOT of information. I took my time with this book to read and understand my sign and meaning.

I enjoyed the timing portion of the book because I do believe that timing is a factor in when things happen in your life. There are so many "incidents" I can share about the timing before and when I met my now husband. The timing of meeting my husband now is honestly perfect and I'm so glad that it happened when it did. This book could've saved me on so many of my past relationships before but oh well haha, it's partially part of the experience right?

Anyways, this is an enjoyable book for those who are beginners, like me, who are interested in relationship astrology. Lots of good info and a book to take your time to fully understand the concept and meaning. Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC of Trust your Timing by Alice Bell.

NetGalley Arc App review

Once of the better book I’ve read on this topic, but I would really like one of these book to have the explanation and understanding on how to draw/make oh our own birth chart. Let start at the beginnning and teach the whole thing not just what will get you clout, I don’t want website etc. this lacks in this book and many others.

Aside from that the author was more detailed than most, show they have some sense of really understanding, giving you a better understanding to implement the practice.

This is a good book for beginners to relationship astrology. I'm not a beginner astrologer and I thought the chapter on timing was the most useful to me because a lot of pop astro blogs will forgo that part altogether, and it is sooo important to know that not every transit means something tangible will happen to you. I actually wish I had this book when I was younger and first starting to learn about synastry. If I ever get into a relationship I will probably come and revisit this book. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. :)

I consider myself fairly well versed in astrology and still learned a lot from this book! I also feel like Trust Your Timing is full accessible to someone brand new to astrology. I love the way the author took on the many facets of relationships, astrology and timing. I’m just over all very impressed with this book and consider it a valuable resource for anyone insterested in the way the cosmos affect our relationships here on Earth.

[Maggie · Rating 4 out of 5]

With Trust Your Timing, Alice Bell does a great job of breaking down the nuances of astrology and providing high-level insights. Each chapter builds on the previous ones, which helps make this volume of information much less daunting, I'll definitely need to revisit this book a few times to better grasp the content — which is completely expected, given how much is in here — but I already feel more confident in my understanding of astrology and my birth chart.

[Gemini · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, there is so much going on in this book, you have to pay attention. There are so many ins & outs of your chart that this book goes through so you can have a better understanding. The author discusses & shares being able to learn about things outside of your sun, rising, & moon signs. There are certain parts that can be a bit confusing since transits are not the easiest thing to figure out. Being able to give real life examples is super helpful though.

[Josephine · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very detailed explanation of your birth chart. I found it overloading mainly because I only have an e-copy. I think this book would be best on paper to be able to flip through it to find the info you need. Interesting insights based on my birth chart match my personality.

Thank you to Netgalley for a free, time-limited ebook for an honest review.

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for the book in exchange for review.


This was really good - I liked how the author helped the reader understand more about their star chats. This book would be a great choice for an intermediate astrology student.
