Introduction to Astrology and Birth Chart Exploration

The Astrological Grimoire (Chronicle Books, 2019) is an illustrated interactive guide and workbook that uses the astrological calendar as a framework for considering introspection and self-discovery, creative practices, connecting with your intuition, and more. Join the authors, Ruby members Shewolfe and Beatrix Gravesguard for an intuitive introduction to astrology and birth chart exploration using the Whole Sign House system, and learn how every one of the 12 signs has something to reveal to you according to where they show up in your chart.

*For best results, have your birth location + birth time handy, or look up your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs ahead of time – we will be working with them. (No worries if you are unable to obtain that information for any reason, we can work with that too.)
