This is a brilliant tool for writers looking for help with characterisation of their female characters. I always find it helpful to give my character a birthday, and then when I am thinking about her reaction to a particular situation, to have a read through the personality traits of her star sign. I used the kindle version of this magazine type book for ease of reference and Susan writes in a very friendly, familiar and user friendly way. I really enjoyed reading about her introduction and training in astrology as it gives you a real feel as to what it is that astrologers actually do, and how they learn their craft. I hadn't intended this book to be my first read of they year, but it was certainly an interesting one to get started on, and as Susan has promised my star sign a brilliant year ahead I shall look forward to seeing how the stars shine on my way forward through life.
