Sasha Foster does the zodiac.

I am convinced I could be no other star-sign than that which I am: cancer. I generally avoid horoscopes because they are generally spot-on...high-lighting only the sensibilities that make a cancer a cancer - which most of the time makes me think too much.

I found this Sasha Foster's collection of Zodiac Illustration and instantaneously fell in love.
