Creative Indoor Date Idea - Get an Astrology Book!

I don’t believe in astrology or horoscopes, but it can be fun to read!

Read your date three “descriptions” of three different astrological signs. Then, ask your date which one they think is them. It’s a fun way to see how accurate (or inaccurate!) astrological signs are.

There are tons of free websites online. Or, you can buy a simple astrological book on Amazon for less than $10.
