In Star Charting, Bess Matassa presents astrology as a radical art that reveals the complex beauty inside of us and within the world. Through personal narrative, sensory exercises, and communal calls to action, Matassa guides readers through the zodiac signs as transformative paths of existence.

Astrology is the language in which all of existence speaks, says astrologist and tarotist Bess Matassa. In Star Charting, she leads readers on a vivid journey through the twelve signs of the zodiac as a poetic practice and transformative framework for befriending both the familiar and the strange. Matassa blends personal narrative, sensory immersion, inquiry exercises, and communal calls to action to reframe this ancient art as a modern manifesto for healing division by exalting the astounding complexity within this wild world. In contrast to more technical manuals on birth chart interpretation, this is magic-making as an exploratory treasure hunt, forging radical pathways to personal and collective evolution. Twelve modes of bearing witness to life and moving with its currents. Twelve styles of championing creative change. And twelve ways of never, ever losing heart.
