You’ll learn which signs are great at getting projects started, which ones you can count on to finish the project, and which ones are most flexible and can help when things don’t go as planned. This video not only illustrates these concepts making it super easy to understand astrology but also includes two art journal projects with demos using Kathryn Costa’s new zodiac stencils.
