Charlene Lichtenstein

Charlene Lichtenstein, who also writes under the name Madam Lichtenstein, is a New York-based astrologer and tarot reader whose horoscopes have been published globally. She is the author of two books, Gemstone Astrology For Your Best Self (W.W. Norton) and Herscopes (Simon & Schuster), and hosts blogs on both Blogspot and Substack.

While focusing on the entertaining aspects of prognostication, her philosophy on astrology and tarot is serious and practical. Readings are not fate. They are guide maps that shine a light on the road ahead so that you can make the best decisions for yourself. Astrology and tarot are empowering mechanisms that open up the range of possibilities.

Gemstone Astrology For Your Best Self combines practical astrology with gemstone energy. The book takes the reader on a self-discovery journey that applies restorative crystal energy of strength, confidence and resiliency to areas where one feels vulnerable, stressed or challenged. It is a unique perspective on crystals that focuses on one’s Saturn sign and not the Sun sign.
