The Sun is the centre of who we are. It is the “I am” in each one of us. The Moon nurtures us at night. It represents how we feel and how we care. Mercury is our voice and how we learn and Venus is our style of expression and how we love.

Through engaging rhymes and colourful descriptive illustrations, this exploratory book introduces the language of astrology in a lighhearted way that we can all relate to.
