About the author
M.J. Abadie is the author, listed here, of three instructional guides aimed at younger readers: Tarot for Teens, described by its publisher Bindu Books as the first complete tarot guide written specifically for that age group, with card interpretations, deck care, and sample spreads; Teen Astrology: The Ultimate Guide to Making Your Life Your Own, which introduces astrology as a tool for self-understanding without assuming prior knowledge; and Child Astrology: A Guide to Nurturing Your Child's Natural Gifts, published by Destiny Books for parents wanting to read a child's birth chart. Her publisher's material notes she had written several other titles, including Love Planets and Finding Love, by the time these were released. Across the three books, her approach favors practical, age-appropriate instruction - basic technique and self-reflection - over advanced theory, aimed at teenagers and the parents guiding them.
