What Types of Books Should You Read Based Upon Your Zodiac Sign?
Aries
Adventure novels with a single independent protagonist; think Jon Krakauer books like Where Men Win Glory; The Odyssey of Pat Tillman; or Into Thin Air. Or Beryl Markham’s memoir West with The Night, a fascinating female adventurer who was the first person to fly solo nonstop from the UK to North America.
Taurus
Nature-related books and/or books about food and gardening. All of the books that are included in the set All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. The absolutely amazing The Cook and The Gardner: a Year of Recipes and Writings from the French Countryside, by Amanda Hesser which weaves together beautifully gardening and cooking and the traditional culture of France.
Gemini
The Harry Potter books – all of them. The complex story, the interesting, invented words and the vast cast of characters can come to life inside the huge imagination of the Gemini mind without them becoming bored. Books related to facts and information, like The Greatest Stories Never Told by Rick Beyer.
Cancer
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott – a story of family dynamics and sisterhood is perfect for the Moon-ruled big-feels big-family connected Cancer personality. Like Water for Chocolate, a family-related love story by Laura Esquivel. Another hard but powerful read for them would be Roots by Alex Haley.
Leo
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Takes of finding courage and value are great for the Leo personality, who is on a journey of heart and inner strength. They also might enjoy biographies, particularly those of successful show business folks, like The Vanity Fair Diaries by Tina Brown.
Virgo
Virgos tends towards anxiety, so learning techniques to calm the mind is essential. Be Here Now by Ram Dass or The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle can help offer techniques and experiences to calm their overactive minds. Also interested in health matters, they might enjoy Sastun by Rosita Arvigo, the story of a woman who apprenticed with the last Mayan healer in Belize or The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan.
Libra
Romantic history fiction series with interesting clothing and beautiful humans like Outlander by Diana Gabaldon or a social manners book like Emily Post’s Etiquette by Lizzie Post and Daniel Post Senning. They might also enjoy a practical but beautiful book Feng Shui Your Life by Jayme Barratt, which offers tips on beautifying spaces and cleansing energy.
Scorpio
Philosophical treatises based in personal experience like The Art of War by Sun Tzu or Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig. Intense fantasy novels with a dark streak -- anything by Stephen King or Tokyo Ghoul by Sui Ishida.
Sagittarius
Any and all Paulo Coehlo novels including The Alchemist, a story of a young man in search of treasure or Brida, the story of a young witch coming of age in Ireland. Educational books like The World’s Religions by Huston Smith.
Capricorn
Books that help them climb the corporate ladder or improve themselves are always on the Capricorn’s bookshelf. Try The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey or Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap … and Others Don’t by Jim Collins. Books that discuss current business climates or affairs is also interesting for them, like The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein.
Aquarius
Malcom Gladwell’s books are a great choice for Aquarians, who are always “outliers.” Try The Tipping Point or Outliers. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari is also useful to Aquarians, which often struggle with the human part of humanity. Dystopian fantasy books are also something they are drawn to, showing them the shadow side of Aquarius energy; example would be The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.
Pisces
The dreamy imagination of Pisces would love The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien or The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis.. They also tend to enjoy spiritually inspired books like the counterculture bible Be Here Now by Ram Dass.
