Do you ever realise that your zodiac personality is the reason why you are naturally attracted to the kinds of books you usually read? No matter which astrological sign you were born under, you probably have felt that book lust that sets a bookworm’s heart racing. The right reading material can cast a magic spell, be it getting totally absorbed in a fantastic world of epic fantasy, following the clues of a complicated mystery, or having your deepest beliefs challenged by a philosophical text.Let us explore the book genres and narrative themes that are made for every zodiac sign’s personality.
Aries: The ram of the zodiac is a fan of action and adventure stories. Aries bookworms are fascinated by the fast-paced novels with daring heroes who are taking bold risks. Mysteries, thrillers and crime fiction are the genres that hold their attention. The adrenaline rush of being a detective or a force that overcomes escalating obstacles is what really gets their pulses racing. The autobiographies of sports stars, military figures and daredevils who pushed limits also appeal to the Arian’s dynamic, high-energy nature. However, Aries should be careful – once they start reading a book full of adrenaline-fueled action, they may get so involved in the nonstop action that they forget about their everyday responsibilities!
Taurus: The practical, security-loving Taurus likes to read books that teach useful skills or give profound wisdom that can improve their lives. They are the ones who like to read self-help guides about personal growth, health and wellness. Books on finance, business, interior decoration, and gardening are usually written by people who want material comfort, beauty, and longevity. The Taurian bookworm is most likely to have shelves with coffee table books that are full of beautiful artwork or photography. Though they are reluctant to try new authors, once they find a talented writer, Taurians happily collect and savour his/her complete works.
Gemini: The Geminis are born with a natural curiosity, quick minds and short attention spans, which makes them the perfect bookworms. They keep on changing between non-fiction that expands their knowledge (like books on philosophy, languages, psychology and new technologies) and fiction that works their wit (such as satires, pun-laden humour and novels with intellectual wordplay). The quirky topics that deal with humanity’s contradictions and the thought-provoking questions about life’s mysteries will be the things that will intrigue the Gemini thinker. Almost any book that is full of new ideas and perspectives can be fascinating for them for a short time.
Cancer: Reading is a snug and warm comfort activity for the caring Cancer bookworm. They are crazy about family dramas and romantic sagas, where they can deeply feel the characters’ emotional experiences and journeys and relate to them. Novels that delve into the primal bonds of family, personal growth, the cycle of life and the power of home are the ones that are most appealing to me. Books that are full of emotions about sensitive kids who are struggling with the feeling of being alienated from their peers also touch a nerve.
Leo: The lion of the zodiac is attracted to the stories of heroes with Leo’s qualities, like charisma, courage, and leadership. Leos loves epic stories in which the main character is unforgettable, and he/she overcomes all the difficulties through his/her determination, passion, and authenticity. Leos is also fond of reading biographies of famous personalities who are the icons of entertainment, politics and history and have changed the world through their larger-than-life personalities. Historical novels of the royalty let them feel the vicarious power.
Virgo: Virgos are the editors of the zodiac; therefore, books must be well-researched, intelligent and skilfully crafted to attract them as bookworms. They are attracted to literary fiction, which is praised for its detailed psychological insight and lyrical but economical prose, as opposed to popular novels that are poorly written. Virgos likes to pay attention to the details, whether it is for the books that are heavily researched and written by journalists or the mysteries that are based on forensics and procedural logic. After they have read a subject from all sides, Virgos can become the most interesting experts in their fields of study.
Libra: Libran bookworms, the zodiac’s ambassadors of harmony, are most charmed by stories that delve into the intricacies of human nature, relationships, society and culture. Novels that truthfully portray the interactions of different backgrounds, families, communities and philosophies are the ones that they are interested in. They like etiquette guides, poetry that praises beauty and art, and smart romantic comedies where the protagonists overcome misunderstandings. Libras are fascinated by people-watching and their romantic sensibilities, which are the main reasons why they love insightful character-driven dramas.
Scorpio: Scorpios have intense personalities and the psychic ability to go into the dark, hidden, and the underbelly of life. They are naturally attracted to the dark stories that expose the ugly side of human nature. Psychological thrillers that daringly examine morbid obsessions, dysfunctional dynamics and destructive desires have a lurid appeal. True crime, mysteries and unsettling horror tales, which dig into society’s toxic secrets and moral taboos, have a perverse fascination. The mysterious knowledge that is in the occult books and alternative histories also arouses their interest.
Sagittarius: Sagittarians are explorers and freethinking philosophers; they are attracted by the stories that broaden their worldviews and give voice to new perspectives. Travel memoirs take them to faraway cultures, religions, and ideas that align with their unquenchable wanderlust and have a great appeal. The intellectual discussion on life’s “big questions” through philosophical texts and metaphysical non-fiction stimulates their curiosity about spirituality, ethics and what gives existence meaning. Sagittarians like writers who are witty and who have a rebellious but, at the same time, optimistic view of society.
Capricorn: Capricorns are the elders and patriarchs of the zodiac – old souls innately wise beyond their years who esteem tradition, social responsibility and unwavering ambition above all. Hence, Capricorns prefer to read serious non-fiction books that deal with the foundations and the working of systems like big business, national and global economics, politics, law and governance and at the same time, they are also the ones who are interested in the historical insights into the roots of society. Although dense, data-heavy technical writing can be boring, Capricorns will still be interested in it if it will help them to build their respected expertise.
Aquarius: The water bearers are from the future, so it’s no surprise that these creative free-thinkers are enchanted by science fiction’s imaginative, boundary-pushing visions of what our world is heading towards next. From the speculative fiction satires that are the thorny ethical dilemmas about technological overreach to the cyberpunk glimpses of the gritty dystopias that are radically contrasting and cautioning our present society, conceptual novels blow open the Aquarian mind. The advent of new, bold ideas that launch ideological revolutions deeply intrigues these rebels.
Pisces: The dreamers and mystics of the zodiac, Pisces are usually the ones who are most fascinated by the stories that take them to the magical, fantastic and ethereal realms. The haunting poetry that evokes the spellbinding imagery and the piercing emotion of the gentle souls cast its siren spell on them. Supernatural folklore and visionary metaphysical fiction dealing with the occult mysteries that stimulate their spiritual curiosity about the unseen dimensions that coexist with our material world are the topics that they are interested in. The atmospheric writing captivates the Piscean reader, creating emotionally immersive settings full of poignant symbolism and metaphor.
