Memories of an Astrologer

Margaret Atwood once wrote, ‘Listening to the stories of others, we learn to tell our own.’ As an astrologer, I have spent much of my life listening to others’ stories. The time has come to tell my own.” — Luiza Azancot, introduction to Memories of an Astrologer. From Luiza Azancot, experienced astrologer with hundreds of international clients and author of Diary of an Astrologer, comes a new book about the vivid storyteller’s most prized personal memories told through the lens of astrology. In Memories of an Astrologer, Azancot takes us with her on a journey around the world, from her native Lisbon to Washington, D.C., Luxembourg, Rome and many other places she lived in between, as she reveals how, throughout her eventful life, she’s sought insights from the stars to help her navigate the many bumps and joys along the road. Through Azancot’s life story and accessible explanations of key astrological concepts, you will learn how to frame your lived experiences in ways that help you navigate your own unique road with the stars as your guide, just as she did. Whether you’re an expert astrologer or just starting out on your own astrological inquiry, you’ll appreciate Azancot’s detailed footnotes, recommendations, and digestible wisdom. Told in bite-sized stories that, as Lucinda C. says, will make you “laugh, cry, and keep you highly entertained,” Memories of an Astrologer does not have to be read sequentially, and can instead be enjoyed in stolen moments or all in one sitting. Interlacing wisdom from everyone from Paul Simon to Carl Jung, the astrologer mixes music with literature, history with astronomy, heartfelt memories with analytical psychology, and familiar and unfamiliar concepts, resulting in a delightful part-memoir, part-astrological guide that will captivate you from cover to cover.
