Harness the magic of the cosmos with this fully illustrated astrology-themed oracle cards and guidebook set from award-winning artist Claire Goodchild, owner of the design company, Black and the Moon. The Arcana of Astrology is a dreamy guidebook and deck of 54 oracle cards revolving around all things astrological. Claire Goodchild created this deck as a tool to teach the archetypes of astrology, with art inspired by vintage star charts and cards featuring the zodiac signs, the 12 houses, and the planets, moon phases, and more. The term oracle encompasses all card decks used for divination, which are typically used as a way to get insight into a situation and tap into your intuition. But don’t be intimidated if you know nothing about astrology or oracle-reading—the 96-page guidebook teaches you everything you need to know about reading cards and applying their message to your life. With practice, The Arcana of Astrology will deepen your connection to the cosmos, to yourself, and to those around you. Review: Fantastic! - Great as oracle deck and a learning astrology deck- the basic 101 of planets and signs. Guidebook is phenomenal learning tool- and the price- wow. Review: The artwork leaves a lot to be desired, but includes some cards not seen elsewhere - The cards are fine. I don't think the quality is spectacular, but it isn't terrible. The artwork is ok. What I like about this deck is that it includes moon phases, which is the first astrology deck I've seen with those cards. I think that is pretty cool, and makes a lot of sense. I guess my biggest complaint is all the empty space, which is filled with a pretty undesirable brown-ish color.

Great deck for astro beginners and tarot lovers!
This deck is beautiful and amazing! I’m not new to astrology - intermediate - and I find these helpful for learning/studying/remembering (especially asteroids!) as well as a fun and informative way to guide/support/complement my tarot pulls for astrological transits. My only complaints: -the hinge box is beautiful…. on the outside. I’m not a fan of the design to hold the cards inside. And the cut outs to insert fingers to get the cards out is insufficient. There’s usually a card stuck at the bottom and I have to turn the box over and shake it to get it out. - I wish there were cards for the dark moon, retrograde, returns (Saturn, solar, etc), points (Ascendant included, not DC, IC or MC) and aspects (in the book but would’ve been nice in the deck). Even with this feedback, I’m not knocking any stars off! The artwork is gorgeous, and the guidebook is helpful and insightful. I highly recommend this deck for folks who want to learn astrology and for folks who want a fun way to do tarot under the stars. 💫 Oh! And I recently purchased the author’s Compendium of Constellations deck! (I believe it’s out of print but some small businesses still have some in stock) I’m looking forward to using both of these together.

LOVE IT!!!
AMAZING CARD DECK! LOVE THE GLOSS-FINISH! THE CARDS ARE A BIT THIN, BUT THEY ARE EASY TO SHUFFLE & THEY HAVE NOT WORN AFTER SEVERAL READINGS! THE BOOK GOES INTO GREAT DETAIL TEACHING ABOUT THE ZODIAC, PLANETS, HOUSES, ETC. THIS HELPED ME UNDERSTAND ASTROLOGY ON AN ADVANCED LEVEL! -MT

Absolutely Stunning, Beautiful Quality, Great Information
I had pre-ordered this item after having purchased the indie version of the Compendium of Constellations. This was worth the wait! The card size is perfect and pairs well with the Compendium and other decks I have - it is larger than Compendium if you have that one. The package was top notch, honestly. My partner is a print production designer and was commenting on how well made the packaging was, down to quality of the guidebook and the cards themselves. The design of the cards are a nice refresh to the original version, and the backs are just beautiful. The cardstock is the perfect weight with a good finish. One of my pet peeves is when cards get stuck together, and this doesn't happen with the finish on these cards. They are very easy to shuffle! A lot of time and effort when into the guidebook itself, as it gives just enough detail to anyone who may not understand Astrology. I have been an Astrologer for over 13 years, and I would wholly recommend this to anyone for the knowledge that it encompasses and for getting introduced to your own birth chart!

Love it! Gorgeous deck!
Beautiful cards; feels nice in the hands and good vibes; and tarot size cards! Card stock a little thin but it's not a deal breaker. It is a good learning tool about astrology for a beginner. Lovely book, 95 pages, well made and with gorgeous color pictures of each card and very informative (but so far I have only browsed through it). I would buy this deck just its beauty alone. From a picky buyer, no regrets, love it! 😄

Gorgeous and concise - a fun way to dip toes into astrology.
It’s so pretty. And it looks like the guide book is a great quick reference for some of the lesser known parts of astrology. I can’t wait to have a little more time and sit down with this gorgeous guide book and cards. How fun- thanks so much!

Awesome!
Came in perfect condition and it is super cute. I was worried the pictures might be more vibrant than the product but I was thankfully wrong and their just beautiful! I'm not super new to astrology but it saved me from taking as many notes having all that info in one place. Very helpful

Hermosas
No son genéricos, cartas originales, bien empaquetadas. Material resistente e ilustración adecuada. Es algo diferente a otros oráculos, si te gusta la astronomía y astrología vas a conectar rápido con el deck. Una buena compra, no me arrepiento.

思っていた以上に良かった☆
カードデッキのデザインにひかれて購入しましたが、解説書の丁寧な作りに驚きました！！ 英語は読めませんがGoogleの翻訳である程度わかりますし 星座や惑星など初心者の私にとっては、とてもためになり活躍しそうです！ もちろんカードデッキもとても気に入りました！！
