Book Description

Publication Date: August 8, 2007

Celestial promises. Earthly fulfillment. Cosmic Karma: Understanding Your Contract with the Universe is more than just a BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO KARMIC ASTROLOGY, it’s an astrological self-help book for the soul. By teaching you to study your birth chart in the same way ancient astronomers believed it should be studied - as a universal birth map of your soul's chosen energies for this lifetime – this book compels you to discover the most empowering universal secret of all: your birth energies only reflect your ability to be great and shine bright in this lifetime because they’re actually a celestial documentation of your soul’s promise to aim higher and do better than it did in the last one. In short, your birth chart is your soul’s Contract with the Universe. It can’t help but reveal where you’re destined to succeed in the material world because it illuminates your soul’s promise to evolve in the spiritual one. Who knew? Certainly not us, and that’s our dilemma. We humans have no conscious memory of our unconscious past. It’s also why Cosmic Karma is a must-read. It will help you connect all the cosmic dots in your birth chart by giving you all the karmic tools you’ll need to identify them.  (edited by author)

Editorial Reviews

"Friendly, upbeat, and simple, yet offering deep insights into your soul's purpose. A 'cut to the core' addition to books on spiritual astrology. Read it and (as Edgar Cayce would say) apply it!" - Karla Siedschlag, Director, Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.


"Warm, funny, and upbeat, Cosmic Karma makes the astrology chart understandable to anyone interested in questions of spiritual purpose. A valuable, accessible book, with much helpful counsel in its cheerful pages." - Mountain Astrologer

"Incredibly accurate with tremendous wit and insight...it shows how individually we are all connected to a larger whole, some kind of universal intelligence." -- Dell Horoscope, December 2007


"Marguerite Manning's Cosmic Karma is one of this year's best. ...pull out your birth chart and get ready to learn your karmic lesson." --newWitch Magazine


"Cosmic Karma is INCREDIBLE."--Lisa Mc Sherry, FacingNorth.net

"Cosmic Karma is fantastic book about the connection we all have to the Universe. Marguerite Manning helps you understand the forces that move it and changes your perception about yourself and The Law of Karma."- Dr. Carmen Harra, Oct.2007


"Marguerite's book is absolutely the most user friendly book I've ever read on karmic astrology!" -- Maria Vaiano, August 2007

"A wonderfully useful guide to understanding your contract with the universe." -- F. Reed Brown, president of United Metaphysical Churches, Roanoke, Va. and pastor of Arlington Metaphysical Chapel, Arlington, Va


"Reading Marguerite Manning's Cosmic Karma was a joy. Her explanation of astrology and the simplicity in providing the necessary information empowers the individual to be able to create his/her own personal astrology chart. This is no mean feat as I have read other astrology books over the years and none was as easy to read and simple to apply. Thank you Marguerite." -- Phyllis Pricer, hostess of "The Higher Dimension" on BBS Radio


"The 12th house chapter is the best I've ever seen, which is to say I read both the signs that appear in my 12th and was shocked. I've been in the astro book biz, one way or another, more than 20 years. I've seen lots of books. Shock doesn't happen often anymore...darn impressive." -- David Roell, astroamerica.com


"[Cosmic Karma] takes a completely different look at what we can use astrology to accomplish, and it's written in an easy-to-use, lighthearted (yet serious about its information) manner." -- Lisa Bonnice, author of Shape Shifting--reclaiming YOUR perfect body and host of "Shape Shifting with Lisa Bonnice" on BlogTalkRadio.com

This review is from: Cosmic Karma: Understanding Your Contract with the Universe (Paperback)

I don't have an in-depth background in astrology or the analysis of my own astrological chart but this book was perfect for me. It is extremely well-written and easy to understand, and profound in its insight. I enjoyed it immensely and learned a great deal about my destiny and place in the universal scheme of things!

This review is from: Cosmic Karma: Understanding Your Contract with the Universe (Paperback)

The simple looking cover and the simple way the concepts are presented lead you to believe the concepts are going to be simple such as you would find in a book like "An Idiot's Guide to Astrology". You know the kind of books I mean; the ones that spell out the most basic and elementary concepts for beginners. But nothing could be further from the truth. The concepts are eye-opening and valuable. They are especially valuable to people who are completely serious about the study of astrology and crave this kind of information. I have about 12 astrology books that are my most valuable resource books. These are the books I always open when I'm working on a chart. I call this my toolbox and I have added this book to my toolbox. From now on I will look at the position of a person's 12th house cusp as a key component of chart interpretation since it shows the actions you have to take in order to solve the dilema of the rest of the chart. In my own life it has been the Golden Key. Bravo Marguerite, many thanks and I look forward to seeing your next book!

This review is from: Cosmic Karma: Understanding Your Contract with the Universe (Paperback)

Cosmic Karma is required reading for anybody walking through life wondering what the Universe expects of them. Marguerite Manning has a highly effective therapeutic approach in her writing. As you follow along, do not be surprised to find every word lining up exactly with how events have unfolded in your life already. This book is empowering in that it leaves no room for self-pity or victimization and at the same time opens your eyes to the contract you signed before incarnating into this world. If this book doesn't light a fire under your butt to get things right this time around, I don't know what will! In her brilliant style Marguerite holds a mirror up and shows you the reflection of your soul via your birth chart a.k.a contract with the Universe. I wish there were a higher rating to award her book, she deserves top rating for this most delightful read:)
