Moonology: Working with the Magic of Lunar Cycles Kindle Edition

I have a love hate relationship with this book. I love the content which includes such aspects as an essential oil, mantra, meditation, dos and don’ts, and more for every House. There’s meat for each New Moon and every Full Moon too. She included five appendices of information that I feel should have been introduced where appropriate throughout the book and leave the appendices for reference rather than key material. Being relatively green to astrology and to the changes and impact of the moon, I have a lot to learn. I dived into the book, highlighted A LOT, and inserted colored paperclips to mark key pages. I was psyched by Yasmin’s material and planned to use the book to meditate through the lunar cycles this year (which I believe is Yasmin’s intent for the reader too), but what I thought was a simply goal is DIFFICULT using her book. One "problem" is that Yasmin introduces the Rising Sign which is a more in-depth (and appropriate - my words) representation of yourself than the Sun Sign. But, as you work to understand all the material in the book, many times it isn't clear which sign to use. This is key because if you're able to use Yasmin's book as I believe she expected it to be used then it will be a personal experience based on your birth date, time, and location.Yasmin references her moonology.com site A LOT. She recommended that you go there to learn this and that. Problem is that many things cost money, AND things have obviously moved since she wrote the book so some URLs are incorrect.Lastly, although the book is busting with information I find it simply too difficult to follow easily. Minimally, it needs an index, perhaps additional appendices with the key charts (e.g., Finding your rising sign), consistent information on which sign to start with (i.e., sun or rising), an additional chapter that ties it all together, and enough information that I don’t need to go to moonology.com and other astrological sites unless perhaps I want to know the sign for the day. Yasmin needs to decide whether Moonology is meant to be a standalone book or a hook for readers to join her site and pay for things.I’m tossed about whether I will buy her Astrology book. If it’s like Moonology I will need the internet and many hours of study to grasp the points.

Moonology” is one of three books I added to my library to better understand the Moon’s phases, its transit through the Zodiac signs and how that influences our lives. While the other books are adequate, “Moonology” is the most thorough and provides a step-by-step guide on how to harness the energy of the New Moon and Full Moon month after month. Author Yasmin Boland’s offering is a powerful tool that teaches readers how to use the New Moon to manifest intentions, and the Full Moon to release what doesn’t serve you. The book is helpful in creating a space at least twice a month to meditate on what it is you truly want and don’t want/need. It’s been six months since I turned page one of “Moonology” and I now understand – and FEEL – a cycle of life connected to the Moon. Boland writes: “Once you learn to dance to the Moon’s rhythm, you’ll find that life flows more easily: it will be as if you’ve cracked a secret code.” She deciphers that code in this must-have guide for anyone who wants to tune in to a Universal force infinitely greater than the “To Do” list of our daily lives.

I bought the kindle edition and love it but I'm going back for the hard copy as well. She has a ton of info in this book.. and it is helping me to understand the power of the moon cycles. Yes she does refer back to her website a lot but although some are for money, she does offer a lot of free things as well... and tons of info!! I actually love the kindle version because I was able to take screen shots of all the different tables and refer back to them.. love the kindle for things like that. I'm buying the hard copy as well cuz I need quick access to her checklists and I'm old school and like flipping pages for that kind of stuff. I'm new to astrology/Moonology and am finding this fascinating. If the moon can have such huge affects on that large body that we call "oceans", one can only imagine how much affect the moon can have on our body.. which is composed of a heck of a lot of water. I give it two thumbs up.. I'm grateful for all the info she has presented in it.. I'm grateful to be on yet another spiritual path.

I do not recommend this book for anyone seriously interested in astrology. Boland lightly sprinkles her text with solid information on the signs and houses, mixed in with mountains of new age style correspondences which felt more haphazard than helpful. He writing style is frequently confusing and she often sounds like she believes she is speaking to teenagers. The book also features frequent plugs for her website and another one of her books, giving it the feel of a 240 page infomercial. Overall disappointing.

WOW! So, I got this just in time for the July Full Moon, and I gathered my tribe and really got into the Full Moon section, and wholly wow! Yasmin has taken something that can be so overwhelming, and made it so comprehensive and beautiful, and empowering- all at the same time. Then, I did a virtual gathering with my tribe for the New Moon, and Yasmin has an entire part of the book on all things new moon, and again! Everyone got so much out of it. I really felt safe with this book, I ordered 2 additional ones for sisters. With sacred gratitude and lunar love... JB

I really like the way this book is organized and love the concept behind it but there is a lot of fluff when it comes down to the specifics. All in all, I'd say this book is geared toward people who know very little about astrology and want something simple and fun to help keep track of lunar phases.

I bought this book last weekend, on a lazy afternoon with nothing to do & have been fascinated ever since. So much so that I'm buying it again in print, to make it easier to refer back to. Clear cut, no nonsense guide to organising your mind daily, as each and every month passes. Living with the lunar cycles is nothing new to me, it's a beautiful progression on my part, but even if you didn't and astrology was merely a vague horoscope at the back of a magazine, I would still recommend giving it a read, as day to day life gets on top of you, you're only human, and it's another idea for a solid way to keep things organised for the sake of your mental health.One thing though. Would definitely recommend getting a copy of your natal chart (which you can find easily online for free) when applying the information to your life. * This book use wholesign, which means one sign for each house. This may or may not be accurate for you so its best to read a little more and see what sounds best to you.

I purchased this book to read more about the phases of the moon and it’s effects as it’s something I have always been curious about. It was definitely interesting and informative but so repetitive, I could feel myself zoning out at times and had to re-read it. I’ll need to check out a few more books on the moon to fully understand it but this was a good start and I definitely don’t regret reading it. I know I’ll be using it for reference for a long time so it’s definitely worth checking out.My only complaint though was the amount of website plugs this book has. I fully understand the author has a website that would work great with the book but to mention it every couple of pages was annoying. I started to question whether buying it was worth it at all and maybe I should have just checked out her website instead. Overall 3/5.

I kept hearing about this book and was so glad that I got it. Moonology is jam-packed with astrological wisdom and practical tips and guidance to work with the phases of the Moon. Every Moon phase is covered and explained in relation to the signs of the zodiac. Not just how it affects our life and moods but also how to harness the energy and use it to release old patterns and manifest more of what you want.

I found parts of this difficult to follow to get what I intended from reading this. I am maybe over complicating as found it did not explain clearly how to work out my New Moon sign. Perhaps I am best purchasing her Yin and Yang kit online instead to take the headache out of working it all out.

Absolutely love this book - so easy to read. Use it every single day for personal use and with my clients who come to me for tarot readings.I simply love working with moon energy to manifest! 😀
