Every time we turn on the news these days, there’s a subtle message being pumped at us from our screens - that this virus is taking over the world and we should be scared of everything we touch or go near. Plus, we’re never too far away from pointing the finger at where it all began - China! Not to mention the other political and racial unrest the world is currently facing. This week, in solidarity, as we’re all about to be freed from our social isolation, and we leave the comfort of our homes with our stashes of doomsday food (and if you’re lucky a pyramid of toilet paper) I wanted to write something light-hearted and fun about cultural astrology because hey, we all need a little fun escape sometimes - believers and skeptics alike! So now you can socialise again, with whom should you do so? Once you have refreshed your memory on which star signs you’re most compatible with here, you might want to know which year group is best for you too!
