"Astrology helps us to better identify our special qualities and teaches us how to marry them with auspicious timing to find the things in life that we're searching for. And if astrology can help us with the smaller stuff, why wouldn't we use its power to help us find the happiness and success that we're really looking for?" Introduction - pg. 9

I only read through the Aquarius chapter but really enjoyed this.

If you get a kick out of astrology as well as self-care - this book is for you. Not only does it tell you the common things like color and scents that compliment your sign, it ALSO tells you: ways to relieve stress based on your sign, what types of self care help your sign, how to deal with heartbreak, family and friends relationships and it EVEN offers you journal prompts for further introspection.
I don't believe in horoscopes 100%, but I found this to be an easy and fun read to share with friends and read myself. The writing is well done and the advice is thoughtful.

Simplistic and generic analysis based on premises of maximising your love, career and wellness. Cannot help to feel the audience target are women whilst reading the book.
Good start for those new to astrology and focused on improving their love, career and wellness.

Today I'm reviewing Astrology for Happiness and Success by Mecca Woods.
Generally I like to start out with a disclaimer. I am an atheist witch. I look for the connection between magic and science without the need for a deity. I receive no compensation for these reviews and all my links are standard Amazon links and not affiliate links. I am a practicing photo reader and have spent the last 13 years honing my craft. I offer personal readings by request and have a strong online history that boasts nearly 400,000 views.
As usual I'm going to start with a review of the physical book. This piece came to me from Simon & Schuster and is on the small side for books that I have reviewed. It is soft cover and the cover is just a thick paper. I think that it could have been made a bit better and a harder cover would help to retain the integrity of the book body. This book has no index but the chapters are marked in blue so you can slightly bend the page edges to navigate to the chapters.
The other offers us a small introductions before just diving right into the meat of the book. The sections are divided by a blue boarder that allows you to flip somewhat seamlessly through the book contents. Each chapter has sections related to specific traits, aspects and correspondences to the astrological sign being featured.
Each chapter starts with a basic overview of the sign that gives the authors interpretations of what each signs strengths are. These sections are written quite well. The section for my sign, Pisces, is called The Mermaid and the Magician. There is even reference to the ability to see and feel the pain of others. My life story.
The following sections talk about the approach each sign has to love as well as their color and scent correspondences. My colors were blue and lavender. Spot on. Scents like jasmine, lilac, sweet pea and vanilla are central to my sign. The book goes on with the signs attributes when dealing with heartbreak and familial relationships. The following passage stood out for me:
"The key to successful relationships with your family is in honoring your need for emotional support while also recognizing that, although you're deeply in touch with your feelings, you have to be able to speak up to family members and say exactly how you feel instead of trying to avoid conflict."
This is so me. I sit back and let others run the show to my own detriment because they are family and my desire to preserve the peace. The section on the approach to wellness is short but dead on. Here's a clip:
"As a water sign, you are prone to losing your steam and getting emotionally burnt out. Since the element of water is more responsive or reactive than active in astrology, you have to make sure you have ways to keep yourself motivated and focused so you don't grown stagnant. "
My entire life I have been attracted to the phrase "Green and Growing". To me this last passage reinforces that mindset and I certainly won't be looking to change that anytime soon.
There are several more sections in each chapter that guide the reader through learning how to allow self care with topics such as - Fine yourself a Muse and Mind Your Energy. I was a bit skeptical when I first picked up this book but the author provides real context and direction instead of simple generic traits normally associated with astrology. One of my favorite books in quite a while. I highly recommend picking up a copy.

My favourite part of the book:
the affirmations and prompts to evaluate your values that are specific to astrological sign.
The mediocre:
I found the rest of the content in the book OK. I didn't go as in-depth psychologically as other books, articles I've read. Tho I did enjoy the colours/scents and how to make your home your castle bits.
Least favourite:
It was very gender specific. I wished it dove into the masculine energy or at least kept it neutral.

This was so much more simplistic than I thought it would be. I was happily surprised by this book -- Woods makes basic sun sign astrology accessible, and provides basic sign profiles that are affirming, empowering, and moving. A nice gift book for the casual woo in your life.

This is a fun quick read to reference your astrological sign or someone else's. It is written for a female perspective with the focus on career, relationships, self-care, breakups, and few other life issues sprinkled in there.

Very informative and great for beginners. If you use Astrology as a self-development then I would recommend picking this up.
October 14, 2019
Super basic, thought there would be more than just an overview of each sign.
March 27, 2020
I thought this was a good read to learn more about characteristics of all the zodiac signs *as a newbie to astrology*
December 18, 2020
Some things are interesting and helped, but most of it is just the usual stuff which was really frustrating.

Fun overview of astrology. Interesting how my favorite colors and signs line up.
July 12, 2021
So so good! Just wished it were longer!

Cannot count this as a "full-read" since I only read the Aries part.

Interesante. Para echar la tarde.

Can I really mark this as read if I only technically read 15 pages? I’m going to say yes, because I read all that is relevant to me, so I have gained all that I can gain from this book.
I am a Capricorn and therefore will only be reviewing chapter 10, because that Is the only one I read.
I feel like this book gave solid advice based on my zodiac. Whether I will implement it is another matter, but I am excited to try out the journal prompts.

This was a really fun and insightful book.
Each chapter focused on a different star sign, and mainly went over the topics of love, career and wellness. It was quite different to the many other astrological books that I have read lately, as it went over many great things like daily affirmations, journal prompts, dealing with relationships and dealing with disappointment. I recommend this one if you are looking for a thought provoking read.

I read this book in conjunction with my natal chart for a more personalized look at my own astrology for happiness and success - overview (sun sign, ascendant), love & partnerships (venus sign, 7th house, 8th house), work (6th house, 10th house), home & family (4th house), wellness (moon sign, 6th house). Definitely going to use the affirmations and journal suggestions!

A nice book for fun reading. I only read my own astrology, the suggestion is quite common but easy to apply to the daily basis.
