• Explains how to determine your shadow planets and zodiac signs through the oppositions of your birth chart

• Details the meaning and challenges of each shadow counterpart for every astrological sign and planet that appears in a traditional astrological chart

• Looks at the alchemical nature of the dark side of the human mind and shadow-work methods for bringing the oppositional self into personal awareness

In this practical guide to shadow astrology, Maja D’Aoust explains how to determine the shadow polarities of your natal chart and explore the hidden wisdom and challenges of the oppositional identity within. She shows how finding your shadow planets is easy—they are the opposite sign of the planets in your birth chart. For example, someone with the sun in Libra will have their shadow sun in Aries. She explains how, just like the traditional planets of astrology, each shadow planet governs a specific area of human activity: Venus shadows speak of tainted love, while Mercury shadows reveal challenges of the mind. Providing vivid examples, the author details the meaning of each shadow counterpart for every astrological sign and planet that appears in a traditional astrological chart and explains how to interpret and work with their challenges.

In addition to chart interpretation, the author explores the history of this astrological method, including its roots in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Western magic tradition. She looks at the alchemical nature and subconscious influences of the dark side of the human mind and the shadow-work methods necessary for bringing the oppositional self into awareness for personal growth and conscious evolution.

In The Press

“As she brings her focus insightfully into the sacred underworld of human consciousness and expression, Renaissance woman Maja D’Aoust adeptly emphasizes the gravity and strengths of engaging in exploration of the dark, rich, archetypal chthonic realms. The additional revealing of a lucid and tangible astrological process of shadow work complemented by Maja’s signature writing, art, mindfulness, and wisdom has gracefully resulted in this truly charming and informative magical book.”
