We're not afraid to say that we love astrology. It's a fun way to understand ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us. We're bigger fans of reading birth charts and understanding our zodiac signs, and it's something we really love doing with our friends. If you want to deepen your knowledge of astrology this year, a book is a great place to start, and we'd recommend these nine titles.

We found books that look at astrology in a totally unique way, books that dive deeper into astrology than you thought possible, and books that focus on compatibilities between astrological signs. Plus, would it be an astrology book guide if we didn't have a title on Mercury in Retrograde? We didn't think so. Just keep reading to shop our picks, and welcome to 2020.
