Moon Wisdom: Transform Your Life Using the Moon's Signs and Cycles

At last, a well written, thoughtful and understandable book on the Moon's influence on us all. The last astrology book I enjoyed was Linda Goodman Sun Signs (giving away my age perhaps?) but this one really looks in on the Moon with a great deal of insight and my Gemini moon was exposed! I love Heather Roan Robbin's style of writing too - it was personal - as if she knew me. I will be gifting this book for Christmas - its a good size and looks expensive although it isnt hardback, and is something I imagine would be welcomed by anyone that checks their astrology columns regularly or someone who works with astrology. I also love the illustrations and would love to buy the prints should they become available.

Nothing to it. Not worth the money.

For the past couple of years, I have convinced myself that my emotions and overall mood has been linked to the moon cycle. After being diagnosed with severe depression last year I monitor my state of mind on a regular basis and try not to overwhelm myself with too many activities. I noticed that there were certain times of the month when I felt much lower than other times.I decided to investigate this further and found Heather Roan Robbins’ book, Moon Wisdom, about transforming your life using the moon’s signs and cycles.Heather explains how the moon sets the tone of the day and that it changes signs every two and a third days. By knowing where the moon is on any given day, you get a snapshot of the mood and general attitude for any particular day.I didn’t want to use this book as a portent for my life – I’m savvy enough to carry on living my daily life as I always have and enjoying every second of it. What I did want, was an explanation as to why I had low moments when my depression beat me and I needed to hide under the duvet. I wanted a little guidance to sort through the muddle that is my mind. Moon Wisdom gave me this guidance.At the start of the book there is a ‘how to use’ section which shows the reader where to go to find out what your moon sign is – you do need this information to be able to utilise the book. I also downloaded the Solar Moon app for my iPhone which tells me at a glance what sign the moon is in. I am then able to refer to my book for a low-down on that day, for example; page 12: Navigate your day with the moon in Aries.The second part of the book gives you information about the phase of the moon at the moment of your birth – I was born under a Libra moon and found the data to be quite insightful.Part three describes the phases of the moon in more detail.This is a full colour book and beautifully written. It is easy to navigate and read even if you are a beginner who is simply fascinated with the moon.I would highly recommend.
