Are you into astrology? Kristie and I have a tattered, taped up copy of an old astrology book on our bookshelf that gets brought out often during parties and dinners. It's so reassuring to be able to open up the book and point to something, with the certainty of that is why I didn't get that job, or that is why they aren't good together. Whether or not you subscribe to the ideas, astrology can be fun. I think people (present company included) sometimes just like reading about themselves!
I've been thinking about this round-up for awhile. What gifts would people like to receive, based on the personality traits assigned by their birthdate? This was so much fun to put together, as I was sometimes influenced by certain friends who embody those traits ;) I hope you enjoy this list! Let me know in the comments if I got your sign right.
Aquarius is known to be progressive, temperamental, goal-oriented, and highly sensitive. They know their style well, like being around people, and appreciate humanitarian efforts.
