A guide to discovering the shadow wisdom hidden in your birth chart

• Explains how to determine your shadow planets and zodiac signs through the oppositions of your birth chart

• Details the meaning and challenges of each shadow counterpart for every astrological sign and planet that appears in a traditional astrological chart

• Looks at the alchemical nature of the dark side of the human mind and shadow-work methods for bringing the oppositional self into personal awareness

In this practical guide to shadow astrology, Maja D’Aoust explains how to determine the shadow polarities of your natal chart and explore the hidden wisdom and challenges of the oppositional identity within. She shows how finding your shadow planets is easy—they are the opposite sign of the planets in your birth chart. For example, someone with the sun in Libra will have their shadow sun in Aries. She explains how, just like the traditional planets of astrology, each shadow planet governs a specific area of human activity: Venus shadows speak of tainted love, while Mercury shadows reveal challenges of the mind. Providing vivid examples, the author details the meaning of each shadow counterpart for every astrological sign and planet that appears in a traditional astrological chart and explains how to interpret and work with their challenges.

In addition to chart interpretation, the author explores the history of this astrological method, including its roots in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Western magic tradition. She looks at the alchemical nature and subconscious influences of the dark side of the human mind and the shadow-work methods necessary for bringing the oppositional self into awareness for personal growth and conscious evolution.
Industry Reviews
“There is no astrologer I trust more than Maja D’Aoust to go into the shadows with—she brings her vast knowledge in astrology, Jungian psychology, esoteric thought, and ancient wisdom traditions together in the most exciting and accessible way. Astrology of the Shadow Self is a sage and insightful introduction to oppositional astrology that is both a guide and a poetic meditation on the dark depths of shadow work. Beautifully written and illustrated, this book provides paths for a journey that offers an expansion of the self—and quite possibly of the collective universe.”
