About the author
Kimberly Blaker is the author of Horoscopes: Reality or Trickery?, published by Green Grove Press in 2018. The book takes astrology as its subject and walks through the history and development of horoscopes alongside the arguments made for and against their validity, including a look at relevant scientific studies. Written for a general audience with no assumed background in astrology, it is framed as an even-handed examination of a widely practiced but contested tradition rather than an instructional guide to reading a chart. Blaker's approach favors historical and critical context over practice, positioning the book closer to popular science and skeptical inquiry than to the how-to astrology titles that dominate the category, and suiting readers who want to understand the debate around horoscopes rather than learn to cast one.
