The Best Journals For Learning and Decoding All Things Astrology

A longtime user of the Magic of I's planners, I can't recommend them enough. The Magic of I 2022 Planner and Unlined Journal Bundle ($69, originally $85), specifically, offers a great deal on both a weekly planner and a separate journal to use as you please. In addition to the monthly calendars and spaces for daily and weekly planning, the planner features pages and pages of in-depth astrological insight, including major astrological dates and transits, explanations of the lunar phases and moon rituals, and more that are relevant for both astrology beginners and professionals alike. Each calendar and date also features an overview of the major planetary transits and aspects occurring each day.

Writual Planner's Undated Semi-Annual Journal ($28) is yet another journaling tool I've used myself on my astrology- and tarot-learning journey. The book is chock-full of both astrology, moon, and tarot reference pages that provide you a wealth of crucial educational information, as well as guided, fill-in-the-blank pages to list your birth-chart information. Each month's pages also features reflection prompts and spaces to journal about monthly and daily tarot readings. (You can use your own deck or purchase the journal with a tarot sticker bundle or tarot stamps, too.) Plus, for someone whose journal use sometimes ebbs and flows, the undated aspect of this journal is particularly helpful to ensure no pages are wasted.

Renowned professional astrologer Mecca Woods has long worked to make understanding astrology something everyone can do, and she's pushing that mission forward with her book "The Astrology Journal: A Celestial Guide to Recording Your Cosmic Journey" ($14). This astrology journal isn't just a journal, but it's also a guidebook. Alongside pages of information on astrology and the zodiac, Woods includes daily prompts to record the astrology of the day, horoscope takeaways, and personal-reflection areas to better understand how you're feeling in relation to the day's cosmic weather.

The zodiac signs aren't everything. Truly understanding astrology also means understanding the moon, the moon's influence, and the effects of the lunar phases. This Moon Manifestation Journal ($22) from Reflective Soul Journals is a high-quality, hardcover book complete with a guide to the major lunar phases for a calendar year, as well as manifestation and journal prompts to complete. Because the moon is heavily associated with your emotions in astrology, this journal provides the perfect space to unleash and decode your deepest feelings.

Merge self-care with your thirst for cosmic wisdom with Stephanie Gailing's "The Astrological Self-Care Journal" ($16, originally $17), which offers users a wealth of astrology-informed tips and journal prompts to elicit a greater sense of self-awareness and understanding. This journal serves a framework for helping you use the moon, the zodiac, the planets, and retrogrades to reflect on and achieve whatever goals you're working toward.

Featuring intricate astrological designs, Ana Leo's "The Astrology Diary 2022" ($19) divides the year by the zodiac signs and their corresponding characteristics to help readers keep track of their days while taking in the energies of each sign. This planner is also filled with tools and general life guidance related to the different tenets of astrology, like the lunar phases, planetary aspects, major transits, and retrogrades.
