World Book Day: a book for each zodiac sign

The April 23rd The World Book Daya moment made on purpose to remind us of the importance of reading, but also of those people who advise us books; And of those books that people then recommend us.

True food for the soul, here the reading, like any other human activity, obeys certain characteristics of the zodiac signs, for this reason it is interesting to try to understand the relationship that every representative of the Zodiac has with his book

Aries

Notoriously an impulsive, courageous and competitive sign, because it is made of a Fire Mars that does not wait, who is in a hurry to win, to conquer. Perhaps the books to be recommended to the first member of the Zodiac have to do with the adventure, preferably very dynamic, with action thrillers and protagonists that express courage, determination

A great classic of Aries: The count of Montecristo by Alexandre Dumas, a theme dear to Aries who seeks justice, not revenge, but in an intense and rebellious way

Bull

Venus here is made of earth, becomes stable and quite sensual, but also declaredly lover of beauty, of harmony that takes shape making itself pleasant, fun, special. Perhaps the books to be recommended to the bull are mainly slow novels but also intense (does not love frivolities too much), the descriptive books, perhaps set in nature or that speak of sensory issues

A great classic of the bull: Perfume by Patrick Süskind, a wonderful story that tells of searching for beauty through the sense of smell (a very sense developed in this sign)

Twins

Curious, extremely communicative and quite versatile, this sign embodies the more flexible and lighter intelligence, that of aerial mercury, making the twins extremely curious and in constant search for connections. Perhaps the books to be recommended to the twins are mainly the essays that know how to stimulate curiosity, as well as the experimental narrative and brilliant dialogues, funny

A great classic of twins: Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, a novel that speaks of adolescence, addressing the issue of the need to feel accepted by others to become really adults

Cancer

Sign of the moon and emotions, it is normal that cancer appears as a very emotional individual, often nostalgic because of a lost childhood, a lot of protective towards the people he loves. Perhaps the books to be recommended for cancer are those novels that speak of family, sweet and somewhat sad stories that tell of goodies, as well as “Memoir” texts

A great classic of cancer: The brilliant friend by Elena Ferrante, because there is talk of childhood (theme very dear to the sweet cancer), of relationships and growth, with the promise of being able to become great together

Lion

Sign of the sun and the ego that is affirmed, this sign likes to think of being charismatic, never giving up dreaming, imagining but in a special and creative way. Therefore, themes that tell of heroes, of great protagonists of history, of almost epic situations. Theatrical narratives that do not save long dramatic passages are also good

A great lion classic: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, because we analyze the need to become, to make it (or perhaps not), the effort that is felt in cultivating hopes and ambitions in the name of a personality who wants to establish himself

Virgin

Mercury here is made of earth, becomes analytical, precise and reflective, always ready to dig in the realities of the moment, to prevent everything that is wrong, imperfect. The Virgin loves well -thought out yellow, as well as a certain decidedly psychological narrative, or a non -fiction that is a message of logic, common sense and learning. Reading as a culture

A great classic of the Virgin: Crime and punishment by Dostoevskij, because in it we read the importance of sacrifice, fatigue and punishment, in fact, in the name of salvation, of the victory over a fate that is always difficult

Balance

Everything, in this sign, appears balanced, of a balance, however, which also generates a certain elegance, the aesthetic of moderation and symmetry, without however ever renouncing to be also romantic. And immediately the literary preferences of the sign will go to love novels, however, sophisticated, to the great classics and all the stories that speak of relationships, loves, but in a kind and balanced way

A great classic of the scale: Pride and prejudice by Jane Austen, because women are committed to finding an ideal husband (Libra is the sign of marriage), but also on warning in giving too much weight apparently, wealth, exchanging it for love

Scorpio

Definitely a black sign, an archetype that speaks of intensity, mystery and the strongest passions brought by Mars. Nothing, for the Scorpio, can be superficial or banal, for this reason he will love all the noir readings, or in any case those stories of deep stories, of a veiled eroticism, of analysis of the psychology of characters. To learn to dig in people’s minds

A great scorpion classic: The lover by Marguerite Duras, an autobiographical love story in which the social conventions of the time climb, challenging the social and ethnic tabu, to go beyond everything, feeding on only passion

Sagittarius

Fire of Jupiter, here this sign appears immediately adventurous, quite idealistic and with a strong philosophical connotation. Because the Sagittarius feeds on evolution, he needs to think big, but with a mission. Thus he will love travel fiction (he loves to move), philosophy and, to celebrate lightness, even epic fantasy

A great classic of Sagittarius: On the road by Jack Kerouac, or the description of existence, unexpected happiness, curiosity and the discovery of living. In which to find the enthusiasm given by the awareness of how everything is relative

Capricorn

Saturn here is made of earth, concrete until excess, perfectly as the only possibility. The determined sign, disciplined and quite ambitious, needs to nourish the mind of biographies and historical novels to take example from those who made it, or not, but asking themselves how it was possible. He also loves the texts of motivational narrative, the stories that made the difference

A great classic of Capricorn: Wall Street wolf by Jordan Belfort, where it is told of those who made a fortune by climbing every step, using every means in order to get to wealth, to the affirmation. By questioning the values, would you do it?

Acquarium

Sign of Saturn but made of air, a sign of great intelligence (with great detachment veins). Something that sees the aquarium as an innovative, nonconformist, vaguely intellectual person. Destext the discounted things, thus preferring science fiction, the books that speak of utopias/dystopias and texts that are voted for ideals in general: because the aquarium must already feel forward

A great classic of the aquarium: 1984 By George Orwell where we speak of control of thought, criticism of ignorance and hatred, in a hymn to the more noble ideals. Beating himself for the rights of individuals, for a perhaps better humanity

Fish

Dissolution, dream and imagination, all this lives in fish. Because it is the last sign of the zodiac, the one that concludes, which never gives too much importance. He is certainly one who lives in half, between reality and imagination, but who also knows how to empathize with everyone using timeless beauty, his special charm. He loves dreamlike novels, poetry in general and also spiritual narrative

A great classic fish: The little prince of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a beautiful modern fairy tale that reminds us of childhood values, of the discovery of the self and respect that we learn of others. A reference to the truest part of ourselves.

And after these tips, good World Book Day!
