Astrology can help us divine the future—but it’s also a perfect path to reclaiming your personal power through wellness practices tailored to your sign.
 
Type-A Aries is prone to burnout at work and should de-stress with hot baths. If you were born in Cancer, you should be wary of bottling up anxieties and consider artistic ways to express them instead. Capricorns benefit from routine, but watch out if you’re a spontaneous Sagittarius! Seasoned astrologers Monte Farber and Amy Zerner provide a detailed analysis of each sun sign and a treasury of wellness remedies for each, including teas and tonics, crystals for healing, mindful meditations, breathing affirmations, fitness styles, and more. Astrology for Wellnessprovides all the information you’ll need to understand your personality profile, enhancing personal strengths for mental clarity, physical strength, and spiritual insight.

Originating in traditional Chinese medicine as far back as the 7th century, gua sha massage is both ancient and revolutionary: a proven skincare method that can give you glowing, even skin, as well as a moment of mindfulness that translates into increased mental clarity. Gua sha works with the lympathic system to release tension, reduce puffiness, and also introduce mental benefits. This useful, beautiful book gives you everything you need to know to introduce this amazing technique into your own skincare routine: Flat stones are used to gently scrape the skin to promote micro-circulation and regeneration. In addition, rollers made of crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, and jade can promote similar effects, and have the added benefit of staying cool against your skin while you use them. By following the techniques in this book, you’ll see improved elasticity and tone, and you can even calm inflammation. Celebrity facialist Julie Civiello Polier introduces her proven methods, which she has used on clients like Goldie Hawn, Miranda Kerr, and Christy Turlington. 

Anti-racist activist Faitth Brooks developed this revolutionary guided journal to help you commit to the cause and become an authentic ally. With this book you can work from the inside out as you unpack your own biases and shortcomings, work through the influence of interlocking systems of oppression, and figure out how to use your privilege for good.

Within these pages you’ll find hard questions about race and the space for you to answer without judgment so you can examine, process, and grow in your anti-racist journey at your own pace. Each chapter starts with insightful anecdotes from Faitth’s lived experiences to frame the themes you will explore through prompts designed to help you work through each concept.

This journal invites you to look at your upbringing and how it shaped you, investigate your fears in doing the work of anti-racism, learn how to practice humility when you make mistakes as well as engage with the history of racism and its legacy through homework curated to help further your understanding of each chapter’s issues. By the end, you will be able to take inventory of your strengths and figure out how you can help make the world more just. In working through this journal, you can become a better ally one question at a time.
