This was such a helpful comparison of these two decks. I had never heard it referred to as the Twelve Letter Alphabet before, but that is exactly what challenges me about modern astrology. Great stuff. Thanks!

[@chelle1256]

Hi Kyra it was little old me who made the request, I wanted to save you looking for my comment on your previous video. I appreciate you giving your time and much valued opinion of it x

[@TempestGetchell]

Oh yay! thanks! I hope you enjoyed it!!!

[@adriennelaf5083]

Between the asc and the dsc is your personality, your needs, child hood , communication and learning etc 1st - 6th, the dsc starts the 7th of partnerships thru the 12th. Happy to see you so excited on your astrological journey.

[@SomethingStartsRingingTarot]

Wow great review!! I can feel your passion in this subject come out through your in depth discussion of this deck and all the nuances of Astrology! 🤩 The hay house 50% off sale is tempting me and this deck has been on my wishlist for a while! Really appreciate your thoughts!!

[@TempestGetchell]

thanks. Happy to share them

[@BookLioness]

So glad I found this review, even though I am late to the party. I've been learning about astrology (using Heavenly Bodies, MicroCosmic Oracle and Living Wheel). This caught my eye and really draws me just by the artwork alone. I wish someone would include cusps... as a Cancer/Leo, I've always been hoping someone would. This was a fantastic review, thank you. * adds to cart *

[@TempestGetchell]

@BookLioness the reason people don't include cusps is actually because there are a myth in astrology. If your sun is at o degrees Leo then you are a Leo. Lol sorry.

[@TempestGetchell]

@@BookLioness glad you found the video helpful though

[@Lisa_Papez]

Wowww it really seems like the Starcodes ticks ALL YOUR BOXES :D Can't wait to see how your relationship with it develops!

[@TempestGetchell]

Ya I'm super excited and I'm happy to report it's not threatening my beloved Heavenly Bodies :)

[@7wheel11]

You are a great teacher !!! I learned so much from this. Just found you today so I hope you are still into Astrology because I am trying to learn and I have these cards….thank you ❤

[@TempestGetchell]

I am still into astrology and I have been quiet here as I've been struggling figuring out some KZbin stuff for myself. But I do have more astrology videos since this one and I do offer sessions to teach people their birth chart.

[@Sigtyra]

There is also the sign that shows whether the sign is cardinal, fixed or mutable as well.

[@TempestGetchell]

I'm unsure what you're referring to? Like theres a glyph to represent being cardinal, fixed or mutable?

[@aliciaarroyo6]

Wow! I have been eyeing this deck for about a year. I didn’t want to waste money because I have another astrology deck I don’t really care for. I need this one now! It’s so much better.

[@TempestGetchell]

Yay glad this video was helpful!!!

[@Tarotismagic]

I just got my Heavenly bodies and I think it is a beautiful learning tool - you can put your whole chart down as cards and read it via key words which is great. BUT I listened to author's interview and learnt she is fairly new to astrology (like a few years in) and that she created this deck as a tool to learn it herself. Which in in itself is great for beginners BUT I do feel it might be a bit too simple. This deck I wasn't convinced to start with becaause the art felt too neat lol BUT after watching your review... this deck feels fenomenal and definitely another one to add to my collection 😅

[@tanyareilly8807]

Great review, I'm putting this on my wishlist. I love the art and the card selections. The guidebook sounds good too.

[@TempestGetchell]

Thanks! It's a great deck I'm very excited about it

[@AmethystAscensionTarot]

Great video. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this deck. I love astrology decks and this has been on my radar. Thanks so much. 😍

[@TempestGetchell]

Happy to! Hope it helped!!!

[@lisastevens2607]

I have this deck. I actually preordered it. 😊 and my sister gave me the Heavenly Bodies for my birthday in July. I love them both. Energetically they are so different ❤️ This deck for me pairs with many decks … the Light Seers would be one. So happy to see you review this deck. Thanks Kyra 🥰

[@TempestGetchell]

No problem! Thanks Lisa

[@maplegrove7]

The Starcodes Astro and The Heavenly Bodies are done up differently so any of us can have both decks without either one of them 😉 over casting the other. I have The Heavenly Bodies deck but I will hold off a little bit for The Astro Code for a little longer. I can't wait to see and hear how you've worked with The Astro Code Deck & I really like the artwork. Thank you for this video!! You did a phenomenal job with this!

[@TempestGetchell]

Yes for sure! I agree and thank you

[@tanyareilly8807]

I just noticed you've hit 1k subs Kyra! Congrats 🥳 off to watch the video now 😁

[@TempestGetchell]

Lol thanks!!! We're going live on Sunday at 3pm EST to celebrate!

[@tanyareilly8807]

Oooh I'll have to convert that to UK time to see if I can swing by ❤

[@khan7459]

I like that art style! And I think for a professional astrologer, it is totally valid to have 2 Astrology decks. Before you buy a tarot deck, I'd try to combine it with all the tarots you already have. Maybe something works out unexpectedly well and you can save some money. I'm not really good in combining decks, but linestriders sounds good to me. Or maybe intuitive night goddess, cosmic tarot, fountain tarot or a matchingly coloured-in Tarot of the Abyss?

[@TempestGetchell]

Nice! Thanks for all the suggestions to look at!

[@khan7459]

@@TempestGetchell Hey Kyra, it just occurred to me, that fountain tarot or field tarot might also work well with the Starcode...edit: and even Thoth would work well, if you like working with Thoth that is, and if you agree with Crowley's astro associations or are willing to ignore them.

[@scentsationallysocialwithbeth]

I was trying to decide between Heavenly Bodies and this deck, but you just helped me make up my mind, lol. Love this deck. You know what might pair well with it? The Elemental North Tarot by C. A. Mallad and Amanda Noteman

[@TempestGetchell]

Oh I'm glad this video helped you decide! Thanks for the recommendation too!!!

[@oracularmechanics]

I love this deck. The art is great and right up my alley. It is by far my favorite astrology deck.

[@TempestGetchell]

It is a great one! I am very glad I have it now too!!!

[@gracebeltran91]

Awesome video!!! I am just getting started into astrology and couldn't make up my mind between this and the Heavenly Bodies so I got both for XMas (both were on discount on Amazon! So a great deal :) )... do you think they could be paired? Also I own the Astral Realms Crystal Oracle, would you pair the three or either of them?? If so, do you have any tips for that? Thanks a lot and again I loved your video and explanation, very detailed and made me want to know even more!

[@TempestGetchell]

Hey! Thanks so much for watching! Unfortunately I can't speak much to your specific questions. The way I work with astrology based decks is a very specific things not really like traditional oracles. I'm sure you COULD pair any of them or even all three. It just wouldn't work for my practice so I don't know what lol.

[@gracebeltran91]

@@TempestGetchell thanks alot for your answer!! I'm only thinking to do so to dig deeper, let's say on an Astral Realm card... but I've never paired before, I usually stick to one deck per reading or confirm with a new reading on another deck... I was just curious of what we're your thoughts and I really appreciate your answer 😀

[@pjnaylor]

Added to my wishlist. The cards are beautiful.

[@TempestGetchell]

Righttt????? Glad you liked them!

[@TheGrowingIntuitive]

I have put off cutting this... But not after watching this!

[@Candlesinthewoods]

I love this!

[@TempestGetchell]

Thank you

[@ladysmall9853]

Hay House is having a 50% off sale as I watch this. Guess what is getting added to my cart? 😂

[@TempestGetchell]

Lmfao amazing!;

[@ladysmall9853]

@@TempestGetchell I currently use the Heavenly Bodies deck to expand my tarot readings. Depending on how Starcodes Astro works for me I may use it for that purpose and start using Heavenly Bodies as I do other oracle decks. I have been dithering on this deck when I see it at the book store but between your video and 50% off I can't pass it up.

[@TempestGetchell]

@@ladysmall9853 oh do be sure to let me know how it works for you, if you'd like!

[@rickigill5206]

I have this one and love it

It's a good one
