Mercury Made Me Do It: Michael O'Mara

Why are you like this? The stars. Why are they like that? The stars. Everything, always, can be blamed on the stars.

Ever wonder why your best friend just thumbed-up your heartfelt text but spammed you with seventeen 'this is so us' memes within five minutes? Or why your situationship texted you until 3 a.m. about their deepest secrets but still won't put a label on it? Or why your boss always turns a 'quick question' into a half-hour meeting calendar invitation? The answers may be in the stars.

The answer may be in the stars.

Mercury Made Me Do It is the hilarious, affectionately savage guide to understanding the twelve star signs - including your own. Part personality manual, part relationship survival guide and part excuse for all your worst traits, it reveals how each sign thinks, behaves, communicates, dates and argues.

With brutally observant breakdowns, 'what you say vs what you mean' translations, dating advice and practical tips for dealing with everyone from your partner to your boss, to the person who just replied 'k', this is astrology for people who want more than a daily horoscope.

Because this isn't just about understanding yourself. It's about decoding everyone else - and knowing exactly how to deal with them.

Beautifully illustrated, this is the perfect gift for astrology fans, horoscope sceptics and anyone who has ever blamed their problems - or someone else's - on the planets.
