i found some of the sections a bit awkwardly placed – the extra sections should've gone at the end of instead of breaking the days. but regardless, this was a good introductory book to astrology & it helped me! it's easy & quick to read, & it's not complicated.

Once I actually sat down and read this book it only took me about 30 minutes to read it, so this is not a particularly big book, but I feel like it does cover off a lot of the basics of astrology, or at least enough that I have some idea of where I'd like to do some deeper dives.

The author refers to the Greco-Roman Gods a lot, but the use of the names seems sporadic - for example Zeus is never mentioned but Hera is as the wife of Jupiter. Artemis is mentioned specifically, but never Diana. So this is an area I am going to do some independent research on just to see if the planets align.

I did like the tips of things to do on the different days of the week, and the mantras. So I think I will be using this book but won't trust in it blindly.

This book is perfect for beginners looking to incorporate planetary movements into their everyday lives. The author writes easy-to-follow yet informative and unique tips and tricks for working with the planets each day of the week. There’s also self-care suggestions and positive affirmations. I learned so much about how to best use each planet’s energy depending on the day of the week. 10/10 recommend for expert astrologers, beginners to spirituality, or anyone in between!
