Living on the Edge

Most people experience life as a series of isolated events. Yet beneath those events lie deeper patterns that quietly reveal who we are, what we are here to learn, and the gifts that have been seeking expression throughout our lives.Living on the Edge: A Maverick Workbook for Turning Intensity into Direction is a guided journey of self-discovery that invites readers to recognize those patterns and transform them into greater clarity, purpose, and authentic direction.Drawing upon more than twenty-five years of professional astrological practice, teacher and author Michael Bartlett introduces the concept of the Maverick, those individuals whose lives are often marked by independence, creativity, resilience, and the courage to follow a path that differs from convention. Rather than teaching astrology, this workbook uses the birth chart as a mirror, illuminating recurring life themes, strengths, gifts, and adaptations that have shaped each reader’s unique journey.No previous knowledge of astrology is required. The workbook is designed for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their life’s recurring themes. Through thoughtful reflection, journaling prompts, practical exercises, and guided inquiry, readers are encouraged to recognize the gifts hidden within their greatest challenges and discover a more authentic relationship with themselves.Whether used independently or alongside the companion five-week experience, Living on the Edge of Destiny: The Maverick Path, this workbook provides a practical and compassionate framework for personal growth, self-awareness, and meaningful transformation.More than a workbook about astrology, Living on the Edge is an invitation to recognize the deeper patterns already woven throughout your life and to discover the purpose, gifts, and direction that have been waiting to emerge all along.
