As someone who has read a lot of self helpy books in my life and is going through my witchy phase, this book was a/.
For anyone looking to deepen their understanding of astrology maybe at least have the costar app or that level of understanding prior, this was a perfect read.

Im a fan and I cant wait to dive deeper into astrology books after getting more eased into my understanding with this book! And to try out some rituals as well This book is amazing not only wellwritten and approachable, but so packed with information that you will want to reference it repeatedly.
I am also blown away by the author's generosity in pointing readers to additional resources, I plan to dedicate a large portion of this year working through the journaling and exercises identified in these pages, I really enjoyed this book, I found it informative and believable, This is the first book I have read in a long time that I want to pick up and read again from cover to cover, there is so much insight in it and there is no way I absorbed it all in the first read!

Only downside to this book is some of the resources are not finished yet, but I look forward to reading the book yet again when the author makes them available.
I really enjoyed this. She did a great job of blending Astrology, Psychology, and Integrative Wellness into this book, It was honestly a perfect mix for me, This is a book I plan on coming back to and referencing this year, She really talks a lot about your emotional health or at least that's what hit home with me the most, I also liked that she has gave us some more reading recommendations if we wanted to continue reading/learning about a particular section.
She also shows you how to get a free Astrology chart so that you can see yourself in the mix of all these things.
: A really lovely look at integrative wellness through an astrological lens, Soooo good take notes to refer back to so many in my close circle have referenced it too it is like a mini Astrology textbook Definitely a great read if you want to dip your toes into astrology and also learn how to incorporate this into your daily life.
I listened to the audiobook which was excellent and even included a pdf of all the charts, Love this book and it came at perfect timing for me!

Here is my full review:
sitelink burtonbookreview. com/ this book really changed my outlook on a lot of things in my life, i have already changed things in my life style because of this book, i love how the chapters were divided by each planet, only positive things can come from reading this book, This book is a true gift to humanity, It is an interweaving of Astrology, Positive Psychology, individuals experiences, ancient mythology and rituals to guide readers through the journey to better knowing themselves.


Ultimately, this book is a toolbox filled with ideas and suggestions to either be used asis, and/or as inspiration or jumping off points, as you get to know your own character, mind, spirit, strengths, weaknesses and tendencies.
The author recommends throughout that each reader embrace and maintain their own sovereignty, empowerment and individualism as they work through the knowing of themselves, their needs and the deepest yearnings of their soul.


There is so much in this book that I think I will be revisiting it several times in both print and audio to really get to know the material it contains.
Please dont get me wrong: it is not difficult to understand at all, There is simply so much ground covered that taking small bites and chewing on them for a while is a pleasure, Now that I have read the book in its entirety, I will take the time to savour my favourite bits, Plus, there are so many great suggestions to be put into practical action, which takes both time snd practice,

I really appreciated the setup of this book, There are four parts Fire, Earth, Air and Water, The fire section introduces the five tenets of Cosmic Health, Earth describes how to live cyclically, according to Lunar and seasonal cycles, In the third part, Air, we are introduced to the basics of Astrology and the core Astrological aspects of self, The vast remainder of the book belongs to Water, This fourth part is dived up by planet, Within each planetary chapter, there is a section on the original myth associated with that planet, how each relates to current psychology, the specifics of each natal placement of that planet in the Astrological Signs, and a ritual to either do asis or to use as inspiration to create your own ritual.
Honestly, it flows really wonderfully,

FIRE: The author starts with a definition of what she means by Cosmic Health and its wonderful! This is one of the most inclusive, empowering definitions of health I have ever encountered.
It does not preclude that one be completely free of disease, As someone who identifies as disabled, and someone who lives daily with severe chronic pain, this made me incredibly happy,

EARTH: Here we discover how living according to the Moons lunar cycles as well as seasonal cycles can aid in ones healing and maintain balance in life.
I am not at all new to this concept, but I really love the authors empowering take on this concept,

AIR: I am somewhat newer to Astrology, but had read a couple of books, done some research and followed a series of instructional webinars to learn the basics prior to reading this book.
I found the fundamental teachings on this subject very easy to follow, But even more than that, I just loved the authors take on Astrology in general, I loved that each placement in ones natal chart is simply an aspect of your nature that has a full range of benefits, talents and/or potential pitfalls.
Knowing these tendencies allows the reader full sovereignty over how they embrace and use these aspects in their lives, Personal empowerment is a strong theme throughout this book,

WATER: I just loved how this half or more of the book is set up, Not only does it flow super well, but it also sets this book up as a timeless reference, At any point, readers can flip to a chapter on whichever planet to see what kind of energy it embodies, the origin myth associated with that planet, how it relates to the specific sign placement in a natal chart, a modern psychological theme that resonates with the overall energy of that cosmic entity, and/or take another deep dive with the ritual the author has associated with such.
So relatable. So organized. So incredibly FUN and exciting, And since getting to know our deepest selves is the work of a lifetime, this is a book that I can see remaining on my bookshelves for years and years to come.


WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS BOOK: see all of the above,

WHAT I DISLIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK:
One small section in this book notes that this book was written for women, but that men and nonbinary folx could still get a lot out of this book.
I found this completely unnecessary, It is also so exclusive, and in complete contrast to the seemingly otherwise inclusive feel the book gives, To be frank, the short portion concerning the menstrual cycle and the lunar cycle, could have been directed towards menstruating versus nonmenstruating humans and left the remainder of the book much more inviting to all.
There are a few other examples of the author obviously speaking directly to women only that are even less relevant, Itsand time to let all of that hierarchical binary stuff go, and simply address the readers interested in your book, And if some readers are too squeamish to read about a normal bodily function of half the human population, then that is on them obviously, in my opinion.


Thank you to the author, Jennifer Racioppi, NetGalley and the publisher, Little, Brown amp Company, for an ebook copy of this title in return for an honest review.
I also personally purchased a copy of the audiobook so that I could listen and revisit sections, This book of the perfect amount of magic and sciencebased facts, Written by Astrologer and Success Coach, Jennifer Racioppi, this book is a treasure trove of information, Its not something you will only read once, its something that you will want to keep opening back up to reference,

I think what makes Cosmic Health stand out from other astrology books is that it brings information and tips into current day situations.
We live in a time of social media, racial injustices and significant climate issues, Racioppi mentions all of this and brings it into the practice,

I have always been fascinated by astrology but never really took it much further than knowing that I am a

Taurus.
However, this book made it so easy to find out so much more about myself and also why my body reacts in certain ways.
Its like having a road map of yourself and your health right in front of you,

One of the most important things mentioned in this book is that Jennifer does not believe that astrology is thecure to all of your aliments.
But astrology mixed with modern medicine very well can be,

The only thing that makes this book astar instead of a, is that I wish that there was some way to see your natal chart in this book instead of having to go on the internet to look it up.
I know that this would have significantly affected the size of the book but I think it would prove helpful, especially to astrology newbies.


Thank you to Little, Brown and Company and Netgalley for an advanced reader copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely loved Cosmic Health, Jennifer does an excellent job marrying the astrological with the physical and psychological in her groundbreaking book, Cosmic Health was recommended to me by a mentor, When I started reading it, I was an astrology novice who saw the field as very woo woo, Jennifer not only changed my mind, she showed me how understanding and accepting myself and then living with my natural rhythms can improve my health.
I have a background in psychology and loved how she incorporated the best of positive psychology while also directly addressing some of its myths and dark sides.
I've already recommended the book to ten friends and bought a second copy for my partner, My only problem with this book is that I wish I'd had it ten years sooner, Don't make that mistake. Go buy Cosmic Health!.
