Book Review:
The Stars and Your Fate by Lalith Karunaratna is a beginner-friendly guide designed to introduce readers to the fundamentals of astrology and its potential as a tool for self-awareness and personal growth. The book approaches astrology not as a rigid predictor of destiny but as a reflective “mirror”—a means to better understand one’s motivations, strengths, and challenges.

Karunaratna emphasizes a thoughtful and investigative engagement with astrological concepts, encouraging readers to explore rather than blindly believe. The content likely covers the basics: zodiac signs, planetary influences, houses, and chart interpretation, framed within a practical, accessible style. The aim is to help readers “streamline every aspect” of life and find greater happiness through heightened self-knowledge.

Published and distributed in Sri Lanka through Sesatha Publications, the book offers a locally resonant entry point into astrology, free of overly complex jargon. It is best suited for those completely new to the subject or anyone seeking a simple, reflective introduction to how astrological principles can offer insight into personal patterns and life direction.

While it may not satisfy advanced practitioners looking for in-depth analysis, The Stars and Your Fate succeeds as a clear, encouraging first step into astrology—a useful resource for anyone curious about the stars and their connection to the human journey.
