The Bad Astrologer's guide to astrology
Everything you need to know, explained by someone who can't believe you don't already know it
by the Bad Astrologer
If you've ever found yourself nodding along to a horoscope while simultaneously knowing it's nonsense — this book is for you. Astrology isn't the vague fortune-telling you've been sold. It's a surprisingly coherent system for understanding people, and it's considerably more interesting than your sun sign.
The Bad Astrologer's guide to astrology covers the whole thing: birth charts, the twelve signs, planets, houses, aspects, retrogrades, and the Saturn return — the cosmic mid-term review nobody asked for. It's written for people who are curious but sceptical, intelligent but not credulous, and frankly a bit impatient with the amount of mystical fog that usually surrounds this subject.
No crystals. No soul contracts. No suggestion that Mercury retrograde is why you sent that email. Just astrology, explained clearly, with an appropriate level of editorial comment.
