You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance

Written by Chani Nicholas

Narrated by Chani Nicholas

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.

Been into astrology for about a decade. But this book was just the intell I needed to take my astrological studies to a deeper level at this stage in my life.

[Tiso Boiteto · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Really gives a simplified insight to all the aspects of astrology. From Planets and Houses, Chani really gives great explanations.

Chani is a WONDERFUL narrator (I feel Loved while hearing it) and her words (as in the actual text printed on the book) are also wonderful and great for beginners (I'm not but I still think I learned a few things) , I will be recommending this! However the separation of each section of the audio book should be clearer due to its nature as a reference book, as it is now, just divided in 7 chapters as opposed to the hundreds of sections on which it could be divided is frustrating, still wonderful in its contents, but frustrating (hence only 4 stars instead of 5) to follow so get it in print if you actually want to work with it. But also listen to it because you are worth the peace Ms Nicholas brings with her voice

I wish scribd had it as an ebook- it’s hard to keep up with the prompts. The book gives really great insight to ur sun moon and ascendent. Great starter for astrology and using it to help u learn to find yourself

Really valuable information and reflection questions. I’ve read through other astrology books, but I really liked how she broke down the signs and planets in a beneficial way for me.

[tatiana peterson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Nice in depth look at astrology of the big three to completely understand the self.

[Robert Wells III · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great intro to astrology. I strongly recommend you get a hard copy. You need to flip around in the book. The is designed as choose your adventure book. You'll need some paper and pen to do the exercises in the book. After completion, I recommend The Stars Within You by Juliana McCarthy. Also, it can be found as an audio book on Scrib. Good luck on your personal adventure and journey of discovery.
