A guide to reading your astrological chart more deeply by investigating the degrees, or Star Sparks, of the planets and star cycles
- Explains how each of the 12 signs of the zodiac has 30 degrees, and each degree, like every star, is the center of a whole system of meanings
- Provides detailed write-ups for each of the 360 degrees of the zodiac
- Details how to use the degrees for personal chart interpretation and as an oracle for guidance and inspiration
In this extraordinary synthesis of 50 years in star work, astrologer Ellias Lonsdale explains how each of the 12 signs of the zodiac has 30 degrees, and each degree, like every star, is the center of a whole system of meanings. Inspired by the Chandra Symbols, evocative images for each degree channeled by John Sandbach nearly 40 years ago, as well as his studies with master astrologers Dane Rudhyar and Marc Edmund Jones, Lonsdale explores the deeper story, or Star Spark, of each of the 360 degrees of the zodiac, providing detailed write-ups for each degree.
The author explains how to determine the degree of your Sun sign and other planets from your birth chart and how to use this information for personal chart interpretation. Offering a way to tune in to your future star cycles as well as analyze a past event, he discusses how you can learn about personal cycles from studying the degree of a transiting or progressed planet at a specific time, such as Mercury Retrograde, or by following the degree meanings for successive New Moons or Solar Returns, revealing collective as well as personal timings. He also details how to use the 360 Star Sparks as an astrological oracle to consult when you need guidance or support for your awakening process as well as how they can be used as a source for daily contemplation by following the Sun through each degree day by day throughout the year.
Providing an astrological tool to help you see deeply inside your life, your shadow, what you are questioning, and where you are being guided, this key to the symbolic power of the 360 degrees of the zodiac shows that by embracing our star cycles, we can discover our unique life path and light up the stars within.

Industry Reviews
“When Ellias did my reading, it was like he shone a light upon all of the parts of myself that are most valuable, vivid, and honest. More specifically, he was giving me permission to be, or rather telling me, who I really am. What’s valuable about this for me is that it’s THE MOST VALUABLE THING ON THE PLANET. When he reflected back to me who I was, it was like I saw the rest of my life before me and understood which adventures were honest and which were fake.
“I am constantly drawn into worlds I have no business attending, and so this lesson, this helping hand, is more than just a blessing for me. It was really quite simple actually: This is who you are. This is what you’ve got. This is where the fire is. Now it’s time to go off!!!!
“I let all of the bullshit fall away. I felt at least thirty pounds lighter afterward, and still a few months later find myself drawn to what he shared with me as an anchor for how to embrace the adventure of my own life.
“If I hadn’t met Ellias, I might have done a million things as a way of trying to make something of my life that have absolutely nothing to do with why I’m here. His message was clear and direct. I left knowing where to go and who to be: ME, ME, ME, ME.”
