NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER


From beloved astrologer Chani Nicholas comes an essential guide for radical self-acceptance.

Your weekly horoscope is merely one crumb of astrology's cake. In her first book You Were Born For This, Chani shows how your birth chart—a snapshot of the sky at the moment you took your first breath—reveals your unique talents, challenges, and opportunities. Fortified with this knowledge, you can live out the life you were born to. Marrying the historic traditions of astrology with a modern approach, You Were Born for This explains the key components of your birth chart in an easy to use, choose your own adventure style. With journal prompts, reflection questions, and affirmations personal to your astrological makeup, this book guides you along the path your chart has laid out for you.

Chani makes the wisdom of your birth chart accessible with three foundational keys:

  • The First Key: Your Sun (Your Life's Purpose)
  • The Second Key: Your Moon (Your Physical and Emotional Needs)
  • The Third Key: Your Ascendant and Its Ruler (Your Motivation for Life and the Steersperson of Your Ship)
  • Astrology is not therapy, but it is therapeutic. In a world in which we are taught to look outside of ourselves for validation, You Were Born for This brings us inward to commit to ourselves and our life's purpose.

        Starred review from December 30, 2021

        Nicholas, a Webby Award--winning astrologer, brings 20 years of "counseling astrology" and one million readers to her first book, described as a "choose your own adventure" guide and workbook. Her thorough and easy-to-use text is divided into five sections, each of which includes journaling prompts, questions for reflection, personalized affirmations, and summaries. Nicholas gently guides readers through an existential journey in which she breaks down three foundational keys to Western astrology: sun, moon, and ascendant signs based on time and location of birth. She opens the book and sets the tone with a personal narrative (she discusses early childhood trauma and her own journey of radical self-acceptance) but focuses the majority of her text on covering basic astrological definitions and the roles of planets and signs. She uses the astrological charts of Maya Angelou and Frida Kahlo as examples to explain major concepts. Nicholas is a poetic and direct teacher who has created interactive exercises on her website, and her book will give readers an illuminating experience with many "aha" moments. VERDICT The ideal readers for this book are introspective, contemplative, reflective, curious types searching for a fun and practical guide to finding self-acceptance and meaning in their lives.--Anita Mechler, Anita Mechler Consulting, New Orleans
