Explains how astrology can help teens understand themselves and take charge of their lives. * The teen market is the fastest-growing segment of the book-buying public. * A perfect party book for teens everywhere. * No previous knowledge of astrology is necessary. * M. J. Abadie has published three previous bestsellers: Finding Love, Love Planets , and Child Astrology . Why an astrology book just for teens? This is the ideal time for them to learn to understand their own inner dynamics and go after the life they really want. And astrology is simply the best tool available for gaining insight into oneself and one's relationships with other people. Teen Astrology shows how the Sun represents outer personality, while the Moon reflects the inner self, and how to balance the two. Venus rules matters of the heart, while Mars rules energy and passion. Understanding the dynamics of these two planets can help teens safely navigate the turbulent waters of love. Understanding their Mercury placement will help teens discover their most natural ways of learning, thinking, and communicating. By comparing their chart to those of their parents teens can figure out how to bridge the generation gap and open up new lines of communication. Absolutely no previous knowledge of astrology is needed to use this book--it provides full explanations of all astrological influences and all the necessary tables for locating planetary placements of friends and family.
This was bought for my daughter so I really cannot review it. Just to say that she has used it an awful lot and says that she loves it.
Teen Astrology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Picture this: You are worried about how to deal with your flighty sister who borrows (and looses) all your stuff. Your best friend is all crushed out over the cute boy in algebra and won't talk about anything else. Your parents have decided that you are grounded-again. What to do? You're tired of asking your friends for advice; it always seems wrong anyway. So one day you decide to check out the horoscopes in the paper. Sure, looking to the stars could be a little flaky, but it worked for the ancient Greeks, Romans, Aztecs, and Egyptians, not to mention Nancy Reagan and Elvis. Drew Barrymore and Gwen Stefani are also big fans of astrology and they can't be wrong, right? You grab the paper from the kitchen table, but, of course, the daily horoscope only mentions careers and marriage and that stuff you won't care about for another 10 years. Back on the bus to confusionville. I say, "Worry no more." (Okay, you probably still have things to worry about, but this will help.) M. J. Abadie, professional astrologer and psychotherapist, heard the cries of teens and delivered to us her newest book, TEEN ASTROLOGY. Here are all the tools needed to decipher the heavens and their effect on you and your buds, 'rents, and crushes. The most interesting (and crazy making) part of being a teen is dealing with relationships, so Abadie places special emphasis on interplanetary connections. You will learn how to balance the outer, social personality of your Sun sign with the inner, emotional core of your Moon sign. Figure out your main honey's planet stats and compare them to your own; Mars and Venus work together in the weird realm of love. And let's not forget the very important and very stressful parental area --- maybe the whole reason why your Mom snoops on your phone calls is that she has her Mercury in Scorpio. Don't panic if you can't tell your Ascendant sign from a stop sign --- Abadie includes plenty of easy to read tables for research purposes. The book also has a lot of journal like pages, where you can write down what you are discovering about yourself and those people around you. And for the more spiritually minded, the book provides meditations and visualizations for you to take your esoteric knowledge a step further. I think its time you spaced out (figuratively). --- Reviewed by Serena Burns

Teen Astrology was a great book that I found I could really relate too. Previously I had little knowledge of Astrology(only Sun Signs), but this book made everything easy, simple and fun. Teen Astrology is a great book for beginners or anyone else!

This book is yet again MJ Abadie at her VERY best! Ms. Abadie's understanding and over 30 years experience of using astrology as a psychotherapeutic tool, combined with her very straightforward, shoot-from-the-hip style, makes this a must have for any beginning student of astrology! Ms. Abadie also shows a vast understanding and compassion for all the trials and tribulations teens go through these day, and shows them how to cope with daily pressures which arise from the formative adolescent years. Set in work-book type style, it encourages the reader to not just stare up at the planets and lament their fate, but rather to understand the dynamic forces at work in their lives and take control of them. Her lessons will lead the teen from out of control hormone-induced tantrums to taking ownership and accountability of their problems, and the actions which they take to rectify them, by showing the budding youth how to come to a deeper level of understanding, and use that to grow into a mature, responsible, and content adult.For all you adults, check out her other books!! They are just as good for our generation as for those of our children!
