Head full... much to think about

This book is hilariously accurate, and will point out the not so pleasant aspects to each sign. If you are sensitive to that kind of stuff, maybe not the best book for you. Take everything with a grain of salt though.

I received this book as a First Read from Goodreads Giveaways. I really hate to be the first one reviewing this book, but I brought this upon myself I suppose by entering to win the book. First I will say if you are into astrology, my review shouldn't even really matter to you as I am not into astrology or anything of that nature. I have no insight as to if any of the personality traits in this book matches up with the "normal" Gemini. If you are like me though, not really into astrology, but curious as to what this book is, feel free to keep reading.
I entered the Giveaway to read this book because I thought the idea of the book was new and unique. I am not normally into hearing about how my love life as a Gemini is going or how there's a promotion in my future, but I was down to hear why being a Gemini may be contributing to me being the friendless, asshole that I am. I will be honest. I only read the Gemini section. I did not think any of it related to me personally, but hey, I could just be an abnormal Gemini. What do I know about astrology? Besides that and on to my thoughts about the actual writing, the author was very straight forward about not writing in to complain about anything and honestly, the author seemed to be trying way to hard to try to make the reader feel like a bad person. Or may have been trying way to hard to seem like an asshole. I'm not sure which one it was. The whole feel of the book seemed to be to tear you down than to be insightful about the darkside of the Zodiac.
Another let down for me was that the instructions for certain things were not clear. I was able to figure out where the Moon was when I was born by using the chart in the back of the book, but where was Mars? Where was Venus? Does this book even tell me where they were so I can look further into the depths of my wildly unattractive personality? I don't know. I read over the text a few times trying to figure it out and then gave up. I didn't read anything about Geminis being unintelligent, so I'm pretty sure that it not the problem.
On a positive note, this is a real good looking book. The illustrations are interesting and fun to look through. There's no doubt this would make a good looking coffee table book that guest in your house would be curious to pick up and look through while your making cocktails or chocolate milk or whatever it is you serve in your house. The layout of the pages is also visually appealing.
On an end note, I think this book definitely is better suited for those who are into astrology. I let my sister, who is not into astrology either, read over her section of the book and she had similar feelings as me. I look forward to reading other reviews from those who do know about stars and signs and planets to see what it is that I'm missing out on.

This book is an absolute riot, and the cover totally matches my asthetic. It’s colourful, it’s sassy, it’s kind of rude, and it’s absolutely hilarious. This is one of those astrology books you have to share with your friends. Not only will it be a total riot, but TO THEIR FACE you’ll get to tell them all of their worst qualities with no blow back!
That’s what I call BITCHCRAFT, y’all.
One thing you need to remember going into your own darkside, is that this isn’t how you are ALL THE TIME. For some people they’re evil twin is on the outside, stealing candy from babies and burning down hospitals and shit, but most of us have at least delusions of keeping it contained. As a Capricorn my horoscopes have been telling me I’m an uptight meiser with an eye for politics and deception and a stop watch in my hand. This is so not legit. I’m not like that! Except I totally am… with myself. Of course I rarely go full capricorn on anyone, but I tend to hold myself to some of these staunch capricorn standards and I saw a lot of me in there.
Also remember that, for comedy’s sake, the book relies heavily on stereotypes. Have some fun with it!
I think my favorite parts of my section were my “Fave Deadly Sin” (Avarice. The sophisticated version of greed. Insatiability.) and my Capricorn “hall of infamy”: Edgar Allen Poe, Charles Addams (the Addams Family creator) and J Edgar Hoover are all listed as related darksiders and I couldn’t be less surprised. Depressed and spooky, silly and spooky, and a real witch hunter.
My only real complaint is that the chapters seem to be a bit repetitive. The capricorn chapter really relied on the stingy money obsessed quality, and sometimes it was just kind of incessant. I wish it had focused more on the “inner goat” aspects. I noticed some of the other chapters tended to have one theme that recurred a little too much as well.
Not only is this book fun, hilarious, and gorgeous, but it does help broaden your understanding of your zodiac sign and yourself. It includes lots of different aspects of your sign, and even helps you discover your moon sign, and gives information about finding birth charts. The back of the book also features a resources of other books, blogs, websites, and even apps to help you explore the zodiac a little further.
I definitely recommend this one to everyone interested in astrology, and having some fun with it.
Or anyone planning a sleep over!
