Let me begin by saying that the cover and illustrations are beautifully presented and drew me in immediately. I do love the color red, and it displays the palette of the cards perfectly. There are twelve chapters, each dedicated to exploring a set of birth cards and include: Keywords; Theme; Questions; Affirmations; Journeying; A Summary; A discussion of the Gifts, Abilities, and Challenges and how to work with them. The formula, created by Ruth Ann and Wald Amberstone, of the Tarot School, for determining an individuals Birth Cards is given, along with a quick reference chart. Once you have used the formula and determined the correct birth card pairs, you will quickly realize this books value as a reference tool and you will wonder how you ever got along with out it.
