First of all this book is just about SUN signs. It starts out saying what a sun sign is,and the different modes and elements. And then a little about the moon and Saturn returns and mercury retrogrades and rising signs. If you have no knowledge of astrology I believe this would just confuse you rather then help. I felt like I was reading more of a fiction book rather then an astrology book. I did not feel like it was a guide at all. Every chapter starts out a different sun sign and tells about s

okay, I think it's time to finally know a little about astrology...? thanks to the libroFM ALC program for the review audiobook....more
This is such a profoundly frustrating book. It oscillates wildly between genuinely incredible and thoughtful insight (and some lovely poems), lazy and uninspired stereotypes (it’s my Aquarian lot in life for people to constantly tell me I’m an alien who likes to wear shower curtains), and baffling generalizations about astrology. (From the first chapter: “Many astrologers, us included, don’t put a lot of stock in a person’s rising sign.” I have followed astrology and a huge variety of astrologer

Like their Twitter, lovely and thoughtful, often spookily accurate. If only the chapters were a bit longer!
4.5 stars. As delightful and poetic as you’d think coming from 2 poets. Go listen to their podcast too; the last episode featured a fantastic interview of Saeed Jones.
It made me laugh as I'd expected it would . I knew I'd like it even before I'd started reading it because reading their tweets is one of the only reasons I go on Twitter once in a while .

I haven't read an astrology book for quite some time, and found this to be a nice, updated take on the subject. It was not too heavy, contained a good deal of humor, and was altogether an enjoyable read. This only goes over the sun signs, so if you want a more in-depth take on your chart, look elsewhere. Well done, in that it didn't drag on at all, was never boring; each section was just the right length. The sign-specific texts were especially amusing. ...more

4.5 stars - this was an absolute delight. Ive been following Astro Poets on twitter for years now, and their book definitely lives up. I have fully drunk the kool aid on astrology and I have no shame. Though not always perfect, astrology is so fascinating and often right. I would apologize for nagging everyone around me for their birthdays and birth times over the past week, but I’m not really sorry. 😝 can’t wait to come back to this time and again!
Literally read an actual astrology book. This was obviously written in like two days and is meant to be sold at urban outfitters
This book wasn’t what I expected it to be, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy it. Each chapter details a different sign, which is typical for an astrology book, but I was expecting a more poetic approach from Astro Poets.
I read the book out of order, reading my favorite signs first and then reading about the ones I’m... less receptive towards. The authors said incredible things about each sign that softened my harsh opinions (sorry, Aries & Pisces).

Being intentionally obtuse is not the same thing as being poetic
LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is my all time favorite astrology book written by favorite astrologers (and poets). I couldn’t wait for my preorder so I listened to the audiobook & I’m so glad I did!! I want MORE please!!
i am a scorpio sun, aries moon, cancer rising that was born on the scorpio-sag cusp. okay. i love astrology. i always wanted to be one of those people that can just look at someone or listen to them talk and be able to near accurately tell you their entire chart. so far i can obviously do scorpios like that. this book is a little informative but in all honesty it's like an astrology site mixed with a magazine (teen vogue or nylon) but in book form.

This was a very humorous book. I found the interpretations to be very accurate to what I’ve already heard about each sign. I recommend this book to all of my astrology loving friends, or simply people who are interested enough to read a book about it.
Virgo: I was just thinking about that time I came with you to get your haircut and you didn’t know it but I saved a piece of your hair and put it in my “Memories from 2015” folder, color coded blue for beautiful and labeled 3:15, the time of your haircut.
You [confused]: Oh. That’s so . . . sweet.

This was an okay book. It had a different view on astrology.

A great introduction to the zodiac for the uninitiated.
Fun, funny, offbeat, and dead on with what these two are selling at the astrology fair. Great gift idea for the offbeat astrology fan.
Sigh. Everybody hates capricorns.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book -- it's super funny and doesn't take itself too seriously, which is so refreshing in an astrology book. Astrology is really interesting, but can get a little too heavy-handed sometimes in my opinion. I honestly struggle to navigate its ubiquity in the queer community, and don't really know what my own relationship to it is; sometimes I think it's funny or convenient to pin personality tr ...more

This is a fairly standard examination of the sun signs of astrology. It is often humorous and adds a millennial feeling twist to much of the analysis, but I suppose somewhat like a millennial, it is fairly surface level, more concerned with outward appearances, throwing some humorous shade, and turning in early for a nap.

everything was good except dorothea really had a thing against capricorns and i wasnt happy about it at all... what capricorn fucked her over that bad lol
I'm an Aries sun, Scorpio moon, and Aries rising.
I found the interpretations in Astro Poets to be very accurate. It goes through each sun sign's personality and persona, and each as a lover (compatibility, what attracts them, how they are as a partner, and sex.) It goes through each sun sign's details as a friend, their style, and their responsive behaviors via text or communication with another sun sign.

First off, I'm a Sagittarius sun, Gemini moon, Capricorn rising.
This book was an absolute delight to read. For someone who has plenty of experience with and knowledge about astrology, this was a nice companion with lots of fun poetry and anecdotes. I don't recommend this for those who are looking to actually LEARN astrology because it does not cover all that much other than the sun signs.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand the sun signs! Anyone with a passing interesting astrology can tell you which signs are fixed, cardinal, air, fire, etc etc etc and which planets rule them, but the experience to describe the actual CHARACTER of the signs is something that can only come with years of observation. Astrology is of course really trendy, so unless you've done that observation yourself, it's difficult to know who's speaking about the signs from real exp

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.

This book was a fascinating read, the accuracy in describing each zodiac is unparalleled. I was drawn to this book from the very moment I spotted it on the shelves in Barnes and Noble. It appeared that someone had put it down last minute on a shelf it didn't belong on, much to my delight, because otherwise I may have never discovered it. A quick read of a page I randomly flipped to and I knew that I had to have this book. I purchased it immediately. The very first thing I did was flip to the cha

“A Taurus’s imagination always involves building. Whether it be a career or a lifelong love, a Taurus rejoices at the idea that if you put effort into something for a long time, you will be rewarded with something strong and solid that you can hang your hat on. This extends into expectations for everyone else around them, too. You must be a solid figure, someone dependable who also is able to spark their interests, and with your own solid sense of fire and passion. A Taurus’s imaginative landscape includes an endless sense of fire. Not a fire that would burn anything up, but one that brings warmth, that fuses things together, that solders pieces and melts things when necessary, that provokes and cajoles and pranks but is also good for lending itself to endless conversation and camaraderie. A real working fireplace. The imagination of a Taurus is a place where things get done, rather than happening on their own.”

“What they require is one compliment so well observed and emphatic, they know you truly mean it because it has required your attention. Don’t throw the easy stuff at them. They’re not Leos. Libras want something more than adulation. They want something almost unendurable when it comes to love.”
