Rock 'n' Roll Astrology & Rituals is a cute and
simple hand written, hand drawn zine by American zine maker and
astrology enthusiast Elizabeth Thompson. She describes it as ‘a guide to
celebrating rock 'n' roll and all the planets in our solar system’, a description
I could easily assign to Astrobabble.
Like Astrobabble, Rock 'n' Roll Astrology
& Rituals celebrates the colossal culture-shapers of our age – Jimi
Hendrix, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Siouxsie Sioux, Chuck Berry, Brian
Wilson and Kurt Cobain – and pairs them
with a planet whose characteristics they share:
Mercury - Jimi Hendrix
Mars - Freddy
Mercury
Earth - Billie Holiday
Jupiter - David Bowie
Venus - Siouxsie Sioux
Saturn - Chuck Berry
Neptune - Brian Wilson
Uranus - Kurt
Cobain
Pluto - Tupac
Shakur
Ceres - Patsy Cline
I particularly enjoyed the checklists for each planet/rock
star where Elizabeth invites us to do something noble in the spirit of the
planet in question. The spec for Venus/Siouxsie Sioux includes:
*telling someone that you love them*
*reaching
out to someone new*
*making amends with yourself or someone else*

Thank you for making this zine! It is so lovely. I was in a zine publishing class in Tacoma, WA the other day and my teacher used your zine as an example.
ReplyDeleteDo you still have any copies anywhere? I’d love to purchase one, but it’s sold out online.

You have to contact the maker, Elizabeth Thompson. Sorry, but I don't have her details.
