Heavenly Bodies Astrology is a hand-illustrated, 51 card deck and guidebook plus keepsake box. Use as an oracle to communicate with spirit guides, a tool to learn astrology or as a visual aid to decode any astrological placement (hello, Full Moon lovers). Lily Ashwell, author and illustrator, reimagines the ancient world of astrology for the modern day. Her fresh perspective puts a practical spin on this age-old subject, inspiring seekers to develop their own connection to the heavens. The sheer beauty of the deck and guidebook make them works of art, at home among your most treasured items. The deck is comprised of The Planets, The Signs of the Zodiac, The Houses, The Major Aspects and The Natural Zodiac. And the guidebook not only takes you step by step through the meaning of each card, but offers a concise overview of astrology and explains your unique relationship to the energies. The guidebook offers illustrated direction on how to use the cards - which can be as simple as picking a single, daily affirmation or creating more in-depth spreads. The cards can also be used as a study tool - by creating weekly spreads and with familiarity of use, you can learn astrology. And an utterly unique way to use the deck is to create visual spreads of any astrological placement. It is an accessible way to begin the art of chart reading - whether you want to decode your own birth chart or explore the current cosmic climate.
