Description
With supportive practices like creativity prompts, tarot card pulls, and altar settings to help you live what you learn, Living Astrology offers a radical and fresh take on the ancient wisdom of astrology. Because astrology isn’t something that happens to you. It’s something you live.
Review from Luis Mojica of Holistic Life Navigation: “Britten’s book is a gorgeous piece of work that illustrates the relational dynamic between our human bodies and the 12 signs of the zodiac. It inspires the reader to question how each of the 12 signs lives through them. She invites us to explore our multidimensionality by relating to the whole zodiac, compared to more static applications of astrology that only allow you to identify with one sign. Visually stunning, lyrical, and practical – this book is an ongoing companion for anyone looking to integrate astrology into their lives as a daily and ongoing practice.”
Review from Heidi Rose Robbins of The Radiance Project: “This is a beautiful book. Britten is exploring going beyond Sun, Moon, & Rising signs, and living into every single sign in us. Britten is a very deep and powerful astrologer, and she’s doing some cutting-edge work. I highly recommend this book. I am in total support and deep celebration of Britten.”
Amazon Reviews:
“Living Astrology is the book I spent years searching for: a book that explores the essential qualities of each sign with neutrality and grace, and encourages you to connect to the larger world through seeing and feeling how each sign exists within you and outside of you. Somewhere between a dreamy meditation and the intellectual foundation of a Hellenistic approach, this book is both rational and irrational, epitomizing the way Britten LaRue approaches and integrates her entire practice and beingness: paradoxically, yes and no, receptive, spacious. This is a book that is fantastic for the beginning astrologer who wants to feel more connected to the energy of each sign, as well as the practiced astrologer who wants to step outside of their own structure and go swimming in new waters. For me, I love the feeling that this book both is a work of art and encourages you to feel the entire year as a work of art. For me, it’s congruent with how I’ve been living my life, and it was such a relief for me to find Britten’s work, another person with little interest in compartmentalization and qualifiers. If you are considering for someone else besides yourself: I would gift this book to any witch at any depth of curiosity or practice–if they don’t resonate with it, I’m sure they will pass it along to the hands and heart that do.” ~ Tabatha Shaun Hansen
“Recommend this book and all of Britten LaRue’s work so highly! This gorgeous book has so much to offer anyone looking to fall more deeply in love with astrology and/or being alive! A new instant classic- Britten reconnects us to the sacredness of each season of the year and offers so many opportunities to heal our personal wounds of not belonging here, not being enough, etc. It’s approachable and insightful to all levels of knowledge about astrology. Even if you’re on the fence about how much you believe in astrology itself, Britten’s perspective on the human condition in general is so innovatively insightful, compassionate, and healing that it’s not to be missed! Truly has something to offer anyone looking to navigate life with a new sense of truth, authenticity, wisdom, and compassion for themselves and others. This is astrology as a lens through which to cultivate a fuller, more radiant life.” – TR
“I’ve been studying astrology for years and this book is fresh and approachable. It is connecting with the deep places inside of me that want to relate to each and every archetype within my soul. We are all multitudes, and all of our parts deserve to be seen and understood. Astrology is a great tool for this, and I’m excited to be going on that journey with this book. The compassionate clarity of Britten Larue’s approach is inspiring! Thank you for this beautiful book!’ – A. Baker
“There is deep wisdom in this book that only an artist could share. It goes way beyond basic astrology text books, albeit that is what the book was meant to be. This book welcomes you to the mysteries of astrology in a very Venusian way. I really enjoyed this book.” – eshayer
“What a beautiful book – design, prose, ideas all. LaRue’s approach to astrology invites skeptics and believers alike to treat the zodiac like a literary construction, one that brings the archetypes of the signs alive in deeply personal and powerful ways. It’s a poetic and healing take on an ancient wisdom tradition, one refreshingly free from the kind of cloying certainty that can sometimes infect the world of pop esotericism. Can’t wait to read her next one.” – mattb
“I’ll say it and own it- I love Britten LaRue. I may not know her, but I know that I feel at home whenever I am engaging with her work- whether it is reading her emails, listening to her podcast, or reading her newest book Living Astrology. This book is a dedication to her passion for astrology, and her passion oozes out of her! As someone fairly new to the language of astrology, I find that her teachings make it easier (and fun!) to understand. A lot of the astrology teachings I’ve seen are dense, however, her knowledge and wisdom that she shares are so resonant, easily applicable, and palatable 🙂 Since discovering her work, my life has already transformed so much for the better. Thank you, Britten, for following your passion and putting your work, and this book, out into the world!” – Masha M.
“Britten is a magical being who’s made a tremendous difference on a very practical level in my life. I love this book and I’ve been pouring over it since it arrived last week. I’m still quite new to Astrology, and this book is a treasure to me. Britten’s approach to astrology is so fresh, I think it will delight seasoned astrologers as well. The book is one I’ll read all year, as I engage with each sign. Highly recommend!” – Molly
“Britten’s take on astrology is enthralling. Her book helps you feel into every sign of the zodiac in a foundational way. However it also offers a mystical connection to the 12 astrology archetypes and their connection with the tarot. It allows you to develop a personal connection with the signs. This is important and not something you find in every astrology text. The questions at the start of each chapter are perfect ways to start a season. I will look forward to using them year after year. I also love the new moon rituals and the tarot spreads suggested. This is a book I will return to every year because the tools within are just gifts that can keep giving year after year. They aren’t meant to be just used once! Not only is the book useful but it is also absolutely beautiful.” – Caitlin Westcott
“I can’t imagine a better book to complement your reflective practices. Brimming with insight that is relevant not just to the signs but to the seasons, Britten offers a great wealth of ideas that add dimension to your lived experience and understanding. This is simply so much more than a book about astrology. It represents an opportunity to root more deeply into your own wisdom and adaptive seasonality. I believe Britten’s work to be such an exciting and loving contribution to the world, and it is as accessible for the astro-curious as the advanced astrologer. I bought copies as gifts for so many of my friends.” – Amanda
“Britten’s approach to astrology is expansive, magical, and incredibly digestible. I love the tarot spreads and additional insights added. A very good book to start a relationship with astrology or to deepen beyond horoscopes and sun signs.” – Isabella O’Brien
