I've been a secret and mostly embarassed follower of astrology for a lot of years. I was subject to so many people sneeringly confronting me with, "You know its not real, riiiight?" Chani Nicholas is insightful and compassionate in describing her love of astrology and its appeal, and it just so happens that I agree with her standpoint: Astrology isn't necessarily a foreteller so much as it is a way to give one's self a loving, grace filled, explorational examination. Faith and certitude matter less than the will to understand. Anyway, I dug the book.
