I wasn’t born until the 1980s but it seems to me that the 1970s was a time of less scepticism around subjects like astrology, with retro relics like mugs, fabrics, barware and calendars like this one supporting a generation of Sun sign fanatics.

It was effortlessly included as part of pop culture, even if treatment of the zodiac signs was, at times, tongue in cheek!

Still, interesting to note how even in the most comical of interpretations, some things always ring true…
