You Were Born For This: Astrology For Radical Self-Acceptance

From beloved astrologer Chani Nicholas comes an essential guide for radical self-acceptance.

Your weekly horoscope is merely one crumb of astrology’s cake. In her first book, You Were Born For This, Chani shows how your birth chart — a snapshot of the sky at the moment you took your first breath — reveals your unique talents, challenges, and opportunities. Fortified with this knowledge, you can live out the life you were born to live.

Marrying the historic traditions of astrology with a modern approach, You Were Born for This explains the key components of your birth chart in an easy to use, choose-your-own-adventure style. With journal prompts, reflection questions, and affirmations personal to your astrological makeup, this book guides you along the path your chart has laid out for you, focusing on three key placements: your sun (your life’s purpose), your moon (your physical and emotional needs), and your ascendant and its ruler (your motivation for life and the steerperson of your ship.)

Astrology is not therapy, but it is therapeutic. In a world in which we are taught to look outside of ourselves for validation, You Were Born for This brings us inward to commit to ourselves and our life’s purpose.
