Though they are not spirit communication devices, I’ve become quite enamored with astrological apparatus over the last few years. Some, like planispheres, are important for tracking the actual movements of the planets through the stars. Others, like Belle Bart’s Barascope that makes occasional appearances here, are important for translating those planetary movements into influence for astrological readings, effectively producing an accurate horoscope chart for the user to interpret. Then others, like this 1932 Horoscope Wheel by the Horoscope Sales Company, are just fun and even a little hokey, just providing a generic character reading based on the twelve signs of the zodiac that anyone who has ever asked “What’s your sign?” should already know about themselves. But hey—it’s neat, colorful, and fun—and we could use more of that these days. #astrology #astrologer #zodiac #horoscope #divination #fate #future #fortune #thestarsforetell https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TT-yalXGt/?igshid=3bxesxwj3ed
