My book is finished!

After months of reading, making notes, writing, drawing diagrams, redoing everything… I have today finally finished my first Book:

Untitled
Untitled450×637 309 KB

It contains 14 sections that I hope will be useful to those wishing to pursue astrology:

Section 1 - Astrology Introduction
Section 2 - Elements, Modalities and Polarities
Section 3 - The Signs
Section 4 - Activities for each Sign Season
Section 5 - The Houses
Section 6 - The Planets
Section 7 - Retrogrades
Section 8 - Asteroids
Section 9 - Aspects
Section 10 - Aspect and Planetary Patterns
Section 11 - Interpreting a Birth Chart
Section 12 - Using the Moon Phases
Section 13 - Astrology and the Body/Essential Oils
Section 14 - Planetary Days and Hours

It totals 312 pages so has been quite a bit of work. I am pleased with it. I have ordered a loose leaf copy so that i can go through it all physically looking for errors etc and to see if any little tweaks need to be made. For now, I think it will just be an e-book but may go further at a later date.

exciting stuff!

blessed be!

Alan

Thirdly, I think it was @CelestiaMoon who made me aware of this service:

You might be interested if you’re considering going to print. :smile:

Thanks for the link - something to consider for the future.

Not decided where exactly to put it up for sale yet - so many options. If any one has experience or advice I’d love to hear it.

Im just getting it proof read at the moment so waiting to get the paper copy back with any mistakes ! lol

I think the link I gave you will also help you get it up for sale as a digital product and then spread it across multiple stores.

There’s also the direct to Amazon approach which @MeganB has experience with. She wrote about it a bit here:

@Cosmic_Curiosity since you flavor the stars, I have a feeling you’d find Herbal Astrology interesting. Not much out the in it, but you will find some more earthy Herbalists discussing it. All plants have an astrological make-up in them. Perhaps this would be a wonderful discussion topic?

@BryWisteria or @MeganB I am sure this question has been posed prior, but has Herbal Astrology been a topic?
