Recently, a friend of mine told me about this book; Darskide Zodiac by Stella Hyde so naturally I had to impulsively order it online. It describes in a blunt non sugar coating type of way different aspects of each sign as well as giving you some insight on your moon, rising, venus, etc. Some parts are pretty accurate but I wouldn’t say it is as accurate as The Secret Language of Relationships which breaks down your sign by week.
I find that Aries get a pretty bad rap in most Astrology books and sites. Loud, stubborn, aggressive, cocky assholes basically and hey–we aren’t all like that! Especially us early Aries. While this book kind of puts us in that brute/thug category–I did find myself laughing at some of the things written as they were kind of true.
On Punctuality:
“You are either 30 minutes early, raring to go, and incandescent that everyone else is late, or you turn up four days later at a different venue and are outraged that the expedition went without you”
My friends can attest to that. On the RARE occasion I am early (or on time), I am extremely annoyed and impatient about anyone else who is late.
On Personality:
“Have you ever willingly finished anything in your life? You’re just one big booster rocket, all fired up for blastoff, and falling away as soon as your boredom threshold (usually around sea level) is reached”
One of my pet peeves about myself. I am very enthusiastic in starting up something, then lose interest quickly, and sometimes just never get around to finishing it.
On Love/Relationships:
“…what you like best about dating is the chase.” (true)
“This glittering prize must not criticize anything you do…”
Yes it’s stereotypical of my sign, but I hate certain kinds of criticism but can also make fun of myself with others and love self deprecating humor…’tis tricky–I know.
“You always need to be told that you are the first (and naturally, best) lover that your partner’s ever had…”
Semi true, don’t care so much about the first part.
On Friendships:
Rules: ” 1) Do everything you say; 2) admire your every action; 3) never ever criticize anything you do.”
“…you get ragingly jealous if any of your friends demonstrates the slightest ability to do anything a nanometer better than you (and that includes breathing), or wins a prize in a competition you didn’t enter”
Sadly, this is a little bit true but just not to this extreme. The amount of information, yet alone rage I keep to myself for even the smallest things would probably shock most people I know. Luckily, I truly get over it quickly.
I also like the one word sentences used to describe what life would be like living with another sign.
Some examples:
Virgo: “Constantly tut-tutting under their breath about something they call bleach.”
Aquarius: “It’s OK because they are from planet Zog; so believe all Earthlings live like this.”
Capricorn: “Will put things away in a logical place do that you can never find them.”
Scorpio: “They step over your muck into the pristine minimalist cube of their own room.”
While I mention again–VERY stereotypical, it is humorous and a good coffee table book at the least.
I’ll recommend, just don’t hold any of the information against me.
