Description
Astrología Prohibida proposes an innovative approach to the zodiac. Inspired by the intimate aesthetics of the French New Wave (Nouvelle Vague), the book presents each sign through a narrative format that prioritizes psychological experience over traditional astrological description.
The structure, unusual for the genre, organizes each chapter as a literary-cinematic portrait, which includes:
-
Confession to Camera: Introspective first-person monologues.
-
Observations of the Everyday: Brief vignettes that capture the sign’s essence in the anecdotal.
-
Survival Philosophy: Aphorisms and reflections on love, identity, and pain.
-
Brief Encounters: Minimalist dialogues that explore the dynamic between each archetype and the other eleven.
-
Film Reference: Each sign is linked to a cult film that serves as a key to its tone and style.
The result is a 294-page book that functions as a collection of character studies in screenplay form. It offers the reader the opportunity to temporarily inhabit the psyche of each archetype, finding not definitions, but nuances, contradictions, and an unexpected sense of familiarity.
