Introduction

Throughout time, people have relied on the wisdom of astrology to help them understand their past, empower their present and create a fulfilling future. By harnessing the power of the stars and planets that you were born under, you can gain a profound understanding of yourself and your life.

My mother was a professional astrologer and often talked of the guiding power of the cosmos, so from an early age I understood that astrology could be an amazing tool for personal growth and development. I was a sensitive, rather shy child, but my astrological insight gave me the confidence to understand both myself and others better. Indeed, knowing the magical potential of the day on which someone was born proved so pivotal for me that I went on to write the bestselling Encyclopaedia of Birthdays. Since then, I have continued to explore the power of the universe and how it inspires understanding of ourselves, most recently in The Moon Fix, a collection of 48 practices that enable you to harness lunar energy for personal growth and development. The Astrology Fix provides a complementary set of resources centred on the stars and planets linked to your own birth chart and I hope it will have a similar transformative effect.

The astrology fixes in this book aim to open up your self-awareness, showcase your strengths and demonstrate how you can become the best possible version of yourself. But they also shine a light on your shadow side, or the areas you need to work on to help you deal with challenges and evolve in the process. All the fixes here are simple and practical, and you can easily apply them to your daily life. You’ll learn how to attract joy and success, and how the stars and planets impact your love life, your relationships, your choice of career and your health and well-being. No prior knowledge of astrology is required to work through this book. But by the end you will have enough awareness of your unique astrological blueprint not to only know yourself and others more intimately, but also to guide and inspire your life.
