HEY, GIRL!
You know that super-annoying friend who you call when you just had a date that went terribly wrong? And youre all OMG, they didnt blah blah blah and shes like OMG, blah blah blah, let me guess, theyre a Gemini? And you go Uhhhow did you know? and then, all smug and snarky, they blurt out those notorious words: Uhh, its astrology. Well yeah, thats us. Hi! Were Ilana and Brianna, the millennial/Gen Z power duo, here to give you the only life advice youll ever need.
Its V important that you understand that for us, loving astrology means blaming the stars for all our quirks and shortcomings. And we think thats healthy.
The beauty of astrology is that it reveals the magic of individuality. Think about it: the day you were born, the stars aligned in all their glory. And then, at precisely [insert time of birth] something kinda crazy happenedthe planets, a.k.a. the universe, sprinkled some cosmic energy on you, and there you were, this all-powerful babe (we picture Lady Gaga), blasted into a world of celestial chaos.
If youre new, let us be your planetary guides. Astrology is so much more than a horoscope. We dont want to argue about whether astrology is legitwe know it is! Just like the ancient star-watchers, we enjoy using astrology as a path to self-knowledge and a way to interpret our life experiences. And if you disagree, then thats cool, youre probably a Taurus or something. Well love you anyway, because astrology embraces all.
So why should you love astrology?
Discover Who You Are: We all love a good self-analysis sesh! Do you want to know what makes you tick? Or what turns you on? Astrologys here, and shes going to delve into your secrets and reveal you to yourself.
Spill the Tea: Life is like a box of drama. You never know which catastrophe youre gonna get. Or do you? The stars can give you some hints about whats going on behind the scenes and its sure to be spicy.
Get Some Cosmic Comfort: When youre having those I just wanna PMS in peace kinda days, astrology is there to validate your questionable choices.
Hear Some Truth-Telling: Astrology is honest and blunt, like your neurotic Virgo friend who always gives it to you straight.
And the best partRelationships! Whats more fascinating than figuring out your astrological compatibility? Nothing. The answer is nothing. Sharing your zodiac sign on your dating profile can provide a potential paramour with a small look into who you are and what it might be like to get to know you.
So dont sleep on the irrelevant pages that dont mention your sign (shoutout to Leo). You can pretty much identify yourself or someone you know on every page in this book. Is your sister like the mischievous Scorpio in the family chapter? Is your bf that emotionally unavailable Aquarius in the relationships chapter? Are YOU that crybaby Capricorn who secretly identifies as a Cancer?
