About the author
Lisa Butterworth is the author of two beginner's guides published by Smith Street Books. A Beginner's Guide to Astrology introduces the basics of natal charts, planets, and signs for readers new to the subject, framing astrology as a way of interpreting the influence of celestial bodies on daily life. A Beginner's Guide to Chakras covers the seven-chakra energy system with roots in Indian spiritual traditions, presenting it as a framework for thinking about wellbeing and balance. Both books are short, accessibly designed introductions rather than in-depth or academic treatments, aimed at readers taking their first steps into astrology or energy-work practices and looking for a clear, uncomplicated starting point before moving on to more advanced material.
