Aries

You aren’t good at small talk. You want to dive deeper — and this intimidates some people.

Taurus

You don’t like making the first move. You want other people to approach you.

Gemini

You feel like you’re awkward. You feel like you come across as a weirdo.

Cancer

You’re worried you’re bothering them and wasting their time, so you keep to yourself.

How You’ll Do Everything Based On Your Zodiac Sign includes an exhaustive analysis of each sign’s personality.

Alternating between silly, sweet, and serious, this book is filled with deep dives into the mind of everyone whose birth chart you can get your hands on.
