Your birth chart becomes the guide to confidence, purpose, and making your mark on the world. A changemaker is anyone who dares to shift the story and do things differently in the world. In uncertain times, when so many of us feel powerless, leading change can feel impossible. But making the world better starts by turning inward and shifting your story. You’ve watched women like Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Brené Brown transform conversations, inspire millions, and shift the way society sees health, power, and vulnerability. What makes them changemakers isn’t status or fame. Their power comes from aligning with their innate strengths expressed through the unique planetary patterns in their birth charts—and you can do the same. Change doesn’t begin with becoming someone else or fixing what you think is broken. Change happens when you stop fighting yourself, claim your lived experience as expertise, and attune to your astrological design—the cosmic imprint you were born with.

The first comprehensive book of its kind covering every planetary return—from the sun to Pluto. Written for both astrologers and astrology enthusiasts alike. In astrology, a planetary return refers to the moment when a planet returns to the same position in the sky as it was at the time of a person’s birth. Take the Saturn return, for instance. It’s a pivotal time of maturity. While there are a few books on Saturn returns, they tend to focus solely on the first return at age twenty-eight. This is a disservice, as most of us will live well beyond fifty-seven or even into our eighties when we experience the second and third returns, respectively. The Book of Astrological Returns: Your Complete Guide to Every Life Cycle from the Sun to Pluto fills the gaps, empowering the reader with knowledge to navigate these crucial life stages. It is the first book to comprehensively cover every planetary return—solar, lunar, Saturn, and more. Because people will experience many planetary returns in a lifetime, understanding these returns is crucial for the professional astrologer who is reading for a client. Doing a chart reading for a person in their twenties is different from doing a reading for a person in their seventies. The way a returning planet affects you at one age is entirely different from how it will affect you at a later age. All of this insight is beneficial for nonprofessionals as well, as anyone interested in their chart will gain greater insight into their life by discovering how a birth chart is a living thing that matures and ages along with you. While most of the returns focus on the individual chart, the outer planetary returns—which are so far away that they have much longer cycles—have profound implications for civilizations, cities, and countries (for example, the United States finished its first Pluto return, a 248-year cycle, which saw events rotating from the Revolutionary War to the well-known political uprising in January 2021). Having this unique perspective allows us to look back at history and contemplate the future. The Book of Astrological Returns: Your Complete Guide to Every Life Cycle from the Sun to Pluto is the manual every astrologer and astrology enthusiast needs. No more searching through multiple books to get the info—it’s all in one place.

Many times, people walk away from a tarot reading thinking, “Now what? Is this it?” What can they do to improve their situation? Making Tarot Magic provides the answers. In various traditions around the world, divination is not a stopping point. It’s the beginning. A querent may come to tarot (or other forms of divination) to receive insight into their situation but also to have a diagnosis and treatments to remedy problems. These “treatments” were often magical rituals or ceremonies the querent could perform for themselves or have someone else perform on their behalf. Tarot has been used not only as a divination tool but also as a magical tool for centuries. Each card has specific recommendations for what kind of magic and ritual might be appropriate to address a specific concern. You just need to learn how to read them with an eye to their inner magic. Each section of the book is dedicated to a single magical condition: abundance, healing, love, legal, and more. Every tarot card has an interpretation seen through the lens of and with respect to the magical condition the section has focused on. Techniques are given for what types of magical work would be best suited to a particular card’s presence and meaning in a reading. There are suggested intentions that provide guidelines for what attitude or spirit you may want to infuse your work with to produce the best result. Making Tarot Magic teaches you how to tune in, interpret the issue, and find the remedy. The book includes magic basics, ritual and ceremonial suggestions, and recipes. Included among these are working with sacred vessels; candles and oil lamps; incense; sachets; spiritual baths; herbs and roots; magical words, prayers, and petitions; sacred waters; textile magic; and spirit work.

This guide uses the traditional symbolism found in the tarot and shares it as bold graphics to allow readers to connect to the cards in a completely intuitive way. Sometimes we need to take apart a sandwich to appreciate what's in it, and the same is true for the ingredients--the individual symbols--that make up the complex picture of a tarot card. There is potential for deep understanding that comes with the act of disassembling, and the Tarot Disassembled Guidebook deconstructs each of the seventy-eight cards to look at the individual symbols. This fully illustrated guide presents a picture of each card but reduced down to the bare minimum: so the Fool card is a satchel, a dog, the sun, a feather, a flower, a mountain. Even without the actual Fool, these symbols speak for themselves, and the card is still undeniably recognizable. Once you do this with all the cards, the rich symbolism becomes clear--the sun and mountains appear over and over in many other cards, as do feathers, clouds, flowers, and so on. For people looking to find deeper card connections in their readings, this book is for you. Although this book is based on the symbology of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot--arguably the most iconic and widely used deck in the world--once you understand the disassembling of tarot symbols, you can begin to apply this deconstructing technique to other decks, finding the inner patterns. This method allows you to connect with any traditional deck in a completely intuitive way, free from any pictorial narrative around gender, skin color, age, size, ability, or any other human constructs. This unique and innovative guidebook includes keywords, astrological and planetary associations, and elemental associations for each tarot card. It can be used with any deck based on the Rider-Waite system or as a companion to the Tarot Disassembled deck, sold separately.

What we all have in common is that we're all different. Finally, here is an exquisite tarot deck that honors our diversity with imagery that is nonbinary and inclusive of race and sexual orientation. The traditional Rider-Waite tarot deck is the most widely known and most often used deck from which most modern interpretations are drawn. But it is geared toward people in the early 1900s and draws on commonalities of race, gender, culture, and religion that no longer seem relevant. This is a deck for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of today's reality. It's based on the traditional symbolism of the Rider-Waite deck but has been reimagined for a new generation of tarot readers to serve as a bridge for those looking to connect with their own ancestral heritage and find their personal archetype in the here and now.

Tap into your sixth sense and become a better, more confident tarot reader. Most all tarot books present card-by-card interpretations as well as an instruction on how to read spreads. This book takes the next logical step inward by presenting the art of reading in a workbook format, and helps you learn to interpret the cards intuitively. The book falls into two parts. The first part concerns learning about the cards, and includes exercises for each card that teaches you to trust your interpretation of the card. The second part helps you develop that ability, a skill that Reed calls "intuition." All the exercises, stories, card meanings, and techniques really serve one purpose: to go beyond learning Tarot to living it. It's not enough to memorize the meanings of the cards, and you can't do a reading with a workbook at your side forever. In order to deliver a meaningful, accurate tarot reading, you need to hone your intuition. Without a comfortable connection to your sixth sense, the tarot readings lack finesse and becomes nothing more than cookie-cutter interpretations. When you're fluent in your intuition, you can develop better readings and unique interpretations for each person. In this book, Reed teaches by example. She presents the basics of intuitive tarot reading--reading without any questions, any backstory, anything to go on. This book is filled with exercises to hone your intuition and sharpen your interpretation skills.
