What Red Was
by
"Aries (March 21-April 19)
Strand
added it
The world around you feels even more tangible and realistic than usual. However, all this realism keeps getting in the way with how you've been communicating with people. Your usual routines make you even more in the groove than normal, but outside irritations and obstacles might be getting in the way of the joy you feel at the end of a full, productive day. Incorporate a little more patience into situations and give yourself space to make the best decisions." See Review |

House of Salt and Sorrows (Sisters of the Salt, #1)
by
"Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The uphill struggles feel like they’re continuing to multiply with no end in sight. You need breaks so you can pace yourself, but there don’t seem to be any places where you can step and rest or catch your breath. You might just have to force yourself to take a break and lie down. You’ve always been good at spoiling yourself, but resist this. Take a moment so you can replenish your body and mind, not just deplete your wallet." |

The Downstairs Girl
by
"Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Communication has always been your strong suit, and you find it in short supply in the people around you. The more you talk and explain things, the less other people seem to listen or want to follow your lead! Harness your good humor and ability for collecting gossip and funnel your energy into doing what you do best. People will learn the hard way, so just be ready to tell them 'I told you so' when they finally come to you for help for the same things you advised them on." |

Empress Cixtisis
by
"Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You’ve been feeling a bit more down than usual. You’re normally sensitive to everything, especially the words and actions of those you surround yourself with, but things seem to be much rougher lately. You can’t seem to escape these feelings since you’re always surrounded by the very things that have been bumming you out in the first place. Take some time out of your weekend to forget all that baggage and take care of yourself, emotionally and physically." |

My Life as an Ice Cream Sandwich
by
"Leo (July 23-August 21)
Strand
added it
Your season has passed but that doesn’t mean you’ve lessened in strength. Still, all things change, and as the season changes, consider changing aspects of yourself as well. Take a look at what has been working and what hasn’t and focus on changing the things that haven’t been working. As you interact with others and consider their feelings alongside your own, take time to evaluate situations and make decisions that are healthy for both, not just yourself." See Review |

Spin the Dawn (The Blood of Stars, #1)
by
"Virgo (August 22-September 22)
It’s your season, so live a little! Walking around with a dictionary for a brain and overflowing with critical thoughts about every single thing must be tiring, so take a vacation (finally!) and treat yourself to a good time. That good time could be letting loose just a little, indulging in food or drinks you’ve been thinking about for a while, or finishing a good book you’ve had waiting in the wings. Whatever it may be, celebrate yourself!" |

Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold (Stephen Fry's Great Mythology, #1)
by
"Libra (September 23-October 22)
Strand
added it
Because you’re a perfectionist, because everything needs to be ‘just so’, you’re very concerned with the order of all things, especially people. Life is all about contradictions and a balancing act between the ‘right’ and the ‘necessary’. Use this comfortable headspace to roll with the punches and rely on your instincts more. You know the base truths; you know what the steps are. Trust yourself and wait for the good news." See Review |

Sparrowhawk #1 (Sparrowhawk, #1)
by
"Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Healthy self-esteem lets you make accurate assessments of your talents and flaws, no matter how much you want to play them off. Use your intuition to evaluate the resources you have so your actions can reflect the values your hold dear. Analyze the things you feel are meaningful and important, and make those at the center of your daily life and self. The more you do this, the more you’ll feel at peace with your vision of yourself." |

Everything Inside
by
"Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Strand
added it
The big changes in your life are starting to settle down, giving you the opportunity to get back into a routine, no matter how much you balk at such things like ‘routine’. But less crazy changes mean you can go back to focusing and chipping away at those long-term goals you’ve had for years. Start putting time aside, a little each day or week, to work on just one of these projects so you can finally start making something instead of dreaming." See Review |

Five Midnights (Five Midnights, #1)
by
"Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
You’ve been doing a lot of listening lately and not enough talking. Keep in mind that while being open and receptive to others around you is good and healthy, not speaking enough won’t let others know your state of mind and opinions. Focus on talking more, sharing your feelings, especially if they clash with those you’re with. Communication that builds alongside another is better than no communication." |

The Gendered Brain: The New Neuroscience That Shatters the Myth of the Female Brain
by
"Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Strand
added it
Your eccentricity is becoming one of your greatest obstacles for your success, causing you to have more and more creative frustrations. You want to do great things, be great, and at the same time you want to be true to your wild, creative mind so you can make the craziest things. And this is possible. But before you can do either of those things, first focus on using your creative frustrations as an exercise to refine your original thoughts and overall creative process." See Review |

Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics: A Collaboration with Nobuo Tsuji and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
by
"Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Your giving nature and easy-going attitude has seriously saved some people lately. These are just parts of you, but to others they’re invaluable, small rays of sunshine in otherwise difficult situations and routines. Remember not to give too much of yourself and to keep enough so you’re not completely drained by the end of it all. People are always hungry for goodness, so keep the best, brightest bits of yourself safe but still accessible." |
