Cultural Astrology is an exploration into astrology and tarot cards, looking into zodiacs and the sun and moon, as well as researching the different types of superstitions that are linked with tarot card and zodiac readings. Having come from a cultural background myself, I was raised surrounded by a lot of different superstitions that to this day I follow and believe, for example the evil eye and coffee cup readings.
