Publisher's summary

In The Book of Fire, award-winning astrologer Steven Forrest offers a triumphant celebration of human resilience. Supported by all nine astrological “Fire” symbols, your spirit can survive anything - and still go dancing the next day. Regardless of your Sun Sign, the healing magic starts with mastering the paths of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. It continues as you learn to embrace Mars, Jupiter, and the Sun itself. Your resilience finally blossoms in the three Fire houses: The first, fifth, and ninth.

Together, these nine powerful words in astrology’s rich vocabulary are the Life-givers. With them on your side, you can eat the Devil for breakfast and spit him out before lunch. In these chapters, you will learn how to make friends with each one of these human allies, both as they appear in your natal chart and as they move through it via transits and progressions. Each one of them promises a vibrant gift from the sky - and each one of them is as close to the core of what it takes for you truly to thrive in this human world as the marrow in your bones.

Next up: Watch for three more volumes in Forrest’s epochal Elements series: The Book of Earth, The Book of Air, and The Book of Water.

The Book *IS* Fire!

(Disclaimer - This was my first ever audio book. I'm old-school. I like the way a book feels in my hands. Wasn't prepared!)

The content of this book is exceptional. This is not a collection of regurgitated glib factoids about planetary alignments & what's retrograde, when...this is the deep, nutritive sustenance you hunger for. This book contains the solid explanations of the fire signs, planets, & houses, the 'why's & how's' each may be felt or perceived, and assists you in your own personal interpretation. Definitely giving two thumbs way up to Mr. Forrest.

Two thumbs way up, also, for Thomas Miller; his narration was spot on with how I would've read the book myself. Tone, inflection, pauses - all spot-on. Nicely done, sir. Can hardly wait for "Air!"

I highly recommend this book - it's the information you want, delivered in the way you want to hear it!

Thank you for your time :)

Highly recommend - The Book of Fire: The Life-Givers

I am a newbie to the details of astrology as well as being an audio learner. Steven Forrest’s vast knowledge and easy-to-understand writing style, coupled with the smoothness of Thomas Miller’s voice, his diction and on-target word emphasis, make The Book of Fire audiobook the perfect tool. Not only am I learning and remembering far more than expected so quickly, but I am throughly enjoying the process!

Great Book!

I am a novice to Astrology but his books help me to understand. I just wish he would do all his books on audio.

Astrology as a SPIRITUAL Journey

WOW! This book offers a completely new and fundamental view of astrology that allows the listener to deeply interpret their birth chart as a spiritual map to guide them in their journey through life.

Astrology is not FATE rather it is understanding fully your strengths, weaknesses, and possible current / future / lifelong challenges.

I highly recommend this audiobook & I cannot wait to listen to the other 3 audiobooks in the series (Air / Water / Earth).

Sidebar: check out the podcast produced by narrator Thomas Miller called: ‘The Fun Astrology Podcast.’ I listen daily and it offers great insights into current astrological events and transits.

Entertaining and informative

I really enjoyed listening to Thomas Miller narrate this book. I’m new and very curious about astrology. It has so much useful information and Steven Forest makes sure to use stories and examples that help relate qualities of the fire sign/element in our lives and daily actions. Forest makes complex concepts/ information easier to understand. I took notes and clipped so that I can come back to important information (affirmations). I’m looking forward to hearing Thomas Miller narrate Steven Forest books!

Excelente Book

Excellent writer. I have learned so much. I hope you have more titles of Steven Forrest.

get for anyone learning astrology

It took me a while took finish but I'll loved it & will be getting the book for my library

Details abound!

Wonderfully detailed and excellent read. The only piece that stood out was a relentless focus on facing the negative. To the point where it felt like it was slanted toward the negative aspects of these fire signs more so than truer objectivity.

It’s important to acknowledge the “negatives” while being able to focus on what works.

Great book for aspiring astrologers seeking a vast realm of perspective from Mr Forest.

Astrology at the intermediate and beyond level

very eloquently written but not overly heady. goes into aspects. Good book for someone who is somewhat familiar with astrology. I thoroughly enjoyed it looking forward to the next book.

Loved it

It was exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait to read the next three.
