  • Sabian symbols always felt difficult to grasp, but this book simplifies them beautifully. I appreciated the room left for my own interpretation. The book is only about 8mm thick—lightweight and easy to handle. Now I’m curious about the rest of the series. Thank you!

  • So fascinating—almost too fascinating! It’s easy to navigate, and I found the descriptions of physical traits when each sign is on the Ascendant especially interesting. As a beginner’s guide, it’s top-tier: clear, practical, and intuitive. When I want to go deeper, I also refer to Mr. Matsumura’s Sabian Astrology.

    2023/08/24 つっちーさん

  • This has become an incredibly useful reference for me. Whenever I get curious about a Sabian symbol, I can just grab the book and look it up immediately.

    2023/08/20 ままさん

  • I really appreciated how faithfully it reflects the original channeling by Elsie Wheeler. The Sabian symbol for my own chart made perfect sense. Combining Sabian readings with aspects and planetary positions brings such depth. I can tell how much effort went into crafting this—it deserves deep respect.

  • An incredibly helpful reference for studying astrology!
    Not only does it cover the major aspects, but also includes complex aspect patterns, as well as aspects involving asteroids and angles—which was such a pleasant surprise.
    It truly covers all the bases. I’m planning to recommend this to friends who are also studying aspects.

  • The lightweight design makes it easy to carry, and the content is compact yet spot-on.
    Each section is short but captures exactly what’s important.
    I read it while looking at my own birth chart, and every aspect rang true.
    I’m especially grateful for the author’s gentle and thoughtful tone toward difficult aspects—it really comes through in her writing.

  • A truly original and insightful guide to aspects—just what I was looking for!
    There were so many things I hadn’t fully understood before, and now they’re finally starting to make sense.
    The clean, simple layout made it easy to absorb, and I actually prefer reference books without extra illustrations.
    Having Mai-san’s signature in it even felt like a little energy boost. Thank you!

  • This was my first time reading a book dedicated entirely to aspects.
    As I took a closer look at my natal chart through this lens, I made some fresh discoveries.
    I’ve been feeling worn down by life lately, but this book truly brought me comfort.
    It reminded me of the beauty of astrology, and gave me hope again.

    HOSHI NO MAI COMPATIBILITY ASTROLOGY

    • Mai-san’s words are simple, clear, and easy to understand—making it so much easier to deepen my learning.
      She truly feels like a goddess of articulation. I’m also grateful for the way she generously shares specific examples.
      Thanks to her books and seminars, I’ve reached a point where I can do some readings on my own. Thank you so much!

      2023/09/02 かなさん

    • This book is written with such clarity and care.
      While some prior knowledge of astrology may be helpful, I was fascinated by how relationships can shed light on houses we don’t have in our own charts—and how those connections can bring unexpected blessings.
      It’s exciting to discover how those dynamics create growth and transformation.
      I also appreciated the reminder that even challenging relationships—those that don’t seem to ‘click’—can hold lessons for us, instead of just blaming the other person.
      Exploring composite charts adds even more depth and joy to the experience.
      Having all this knowledge on partnership and compatibility in one book is incredibly valuable. Thank you, Mai-san—I’ll treasure this.

      2022/08/30 みずたま帽子さん

    • I’ve collected the entire encyclopedia series!
      I really hope you’ll publish books on midpoints and harmonics too!
      Mai-san’s explanations are truly the easiest to understand.
      It’s also great that the book on aspects and the one on relationship aspects are separate—so helpful.

      2022/08/27 emiさん

    • Thank you, as always. This book was fascinating.
      My journey with astrology began through challenges in my relationship,
      and every time I revisit this topic, my perspective shifts—I start to see that everything has meaning.
      It’s also helped me a lot in parenting.
      Mai-san’s words always resonate so naturally with me. I truly love her writing.

      2022/08/26 KAORIさん

    • Among all the topics in astrology, partnership is something everyone is curious about.
      That’s why I was so happy to see Mai-san write about it from her own perspective.
      It felt like, “Yes! This is exactly what I needed!”
      The explanations are so easy to understand, with clear examples—it’s the kind of book that has everything you need in one place.

    • The explanations were easy to grasp, especially with Mai-san sharing her own personal examples.
      That said, some interpretations differed from what I had learned from previous teachers, which left me a bit confused.
      Also, I had a hard time understanding the math behind planetary speeds—so I decided to just memorize it for now!

    • I’ve never seen a book that explains progressed charts, transits, and returns in such precise detail.
      It had every answer I was searching for right now.
      The night it arrived, I couldn’t put it down—I was absolutely absorbed and filled with excitement.
      For anyone wanting to deepen their astrological studies, this book is a dream come true.
      I’m deeply grateful for all the dedication Mai-san poured into it.

    HOSHI NO MAI FIXED STARS

    • I’ve been interested in fixed star astrology, but struggled to understand the English-based charts.
      Thanks to Mai-san’s encyclopedia, I’ve started to grasp how to read the charts and interpret fixed stars.
      It’s still challenging, but I’m excited to keep learning—it actually feels fun now.
      Thank you so much for publishing this book!
      I’m also looking forward to the upcoming Aspect Book!

      2022/08/14 emさん

    • My copy of the Mai-Style Fixed Star Astrology Encyclopedia has arrived—what a truly beautiful book.
      The full-color pages are stunning.
      I’m amazed at how this work manages to be both visually beautiful and thoroughly practical.
      With each page, I feel Mai-san’s dedication and refusal to compromise.
      I’ll be taking the course on fixed star astrology as well, but I’m already enjoying flipping through the pages, exploring and wondering, “Could this be what it means?”
      If anyone is unsure whether to get it—I can honestly say you won’t regret it.
      And taking the course alongside the book will deepen your understanding even more.
      You’ll gain a whole new perspective.

      2022/08/13 まかちゃんさん

    • This book is not only clear and easy to understand, but also so beautiful—it’s truly healing.
      I’ll definitely be applying what I’ve learned in my astrology practice.
