Your loving star

Author's name: Lina Hoyan Al-Hassan

A vital narrative journey about our relationship with the heroes, monsters, and gods we are connected to at the moment of birth. A pioneering literary and cognitive attempt to interrogate the zodiac, reread it, and retell its tales as one of the chronicles of ancient civilizations and a treasure trove of history that has been studied by researchers to a limited extent, while at the same time being exploited by the "popular," so its true meanings have been lost amidst the unfortunate chaos of astrology advocates. Here, we get to know ourselves and the deep reasons for our natures: why we are fickle, creative, lovers, haters, vengeful, compassionate, arrogant, and inventors. The reader experiences complete immersion in the stories of the zodiac while the biographies and stories of the founding myths are narrated. The author presents vivid and famous examples, some from the heart of history and others from the world of cinema, art, or literature. The text becomes a magical feast that nourishes our knowledge about ourselves, through an intimate explanation of dazzling myths that are absent from today’s culture. Thus, the author touches a chord in the heart of every reader as he is taken on a journey of “storytelling” of Eastern myths (“Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Levantine”) that nourished Greek mythology and created the narratives of the colorful, fierce, and creative ancient world.
