Winter 2020 Book Roundup-Astrology Books
I love reading and learning about astrology. I have a few books on the zodiac signs that I have gathered over the years. They are all in storage now since I moved but will be back out on the shelves soon. When I meet someone new, I always asks “What is your zodiac sign”? It is always amazing to learn that people in the same sign have similar yet many different traits. In the Western world, we use Tropical Zodiac, but there is also the Sidereal Zodiac and Astronomical Zodiac. I was very excited for this opportunity to do a roundup of astrology books. It is always exciting to learn something about your sign. It is also rewarding to be cool with people who you are not supposed to compatible with. If you like astrology, here are a few books to consider adding to your library.

Your Astrological Cookbook: The Perfect Recipe for Every Sign By Catherine Urban
Each zodiac sign has unique traits, but I never really thought about their preference in cooking, which is why I was interested in reviewing this book. Catherine Urban brings insight about the signs and the different recipes and food they love. Catherine breaks down eating by element and by modality. Fire signs “prefer excitement and will pass on anything bland”. Earth signs “like receipts that are solid, are not overly complicated, and feature ingredients you can trust”. Air signs “are game to try new things in the kitchen”. Water signs “like a dish that speaks to your mood”. Cooking for cardinal signs is “about the experience”, fixed signs have “a few signature dishes up your sleeve”, while mutable signs “don’t think about food until hunger strikes”. You want to find out if the book describes your cooking style correctly and what tasty recipes are included for your sign? Check out this book today and enjoy learning more mouthwatering recipes.
