Astro Poets: Your Guides to the Zodiac by Dorothea Lasky, Alex Dimitrov
4.0
This book is a good distillation of all the signs if you struggle to remember the traits of any sign but your own, like I do. I appreciate the way this book was laid out, with the same subsections for each sign, including what they’re like as a lover and a friend, how they text and what their imagination is like, and a playlist of songs by artists with the same sign.
Naturally, not every comment is right on the mark — but I will admit I recognized my dearest friends unmistakably in the sections for their signs, albeit with some embellishments. And I like the levity of the book, given its subject matter. Dorothea Lasky and Alex Dimitrov are talented at weaving stories in print just as they are online via their Twitter account and podcast as the Astro Poets.
Astrology is not an exact science, but it offers a beautiful way of looking at the world and the people in it. This book does a good job of showing you the poetry of the planets and their influence on us, whether it’s real or mythologized — or a bit of both.
And yes, I did read the section on Leos twice.
