Rating: *** three out of five stars
Martin Greenberg is a SF anthology editor. He's done a gazillion paperbacks, but they usually run in themes. One theme is "The Further Adventures of ____" (Batman, Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, etc.) His other favorite theme is "_____ Fantastic" (Horse Fantastic, Elf Fantastic, Cat Fantastic, etc.) Obviously, this book falls into the second category, short SF&F stories about the zodiac. Most short story collections are average for me. Mostly 3's, a few 2's and 4's, maybe a 1 or a 5. This was pretty much the same.

Sometimes these narrow theme focus anthologies can inspire brilliance. This was not one of those times. Many of the stories seemed to have been unsellable stories that the authors gave a quick rewrite to fit into the broad theme.
