Recs for a Libra Sun, Virgo Moon and Virgo Rising

Book: Checkout 19 by Claire-Louise Bennett
An interior and exacting novel about reading, selfhood, memory, class, and consciousness. Feels perfect for the Libra/Virgo/Virgo who (presumably) notices beauty, language, social cues, and tiny humiliations with surgical sensitivity.

Backup: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

Film: Brief Encounter
Romantic restraint, social codes, beauty, duty and the ache of wanting something you’re too composed to take.

Backup: Exhibition (2013)

Album: The Roches — The Roches
Precise, clever, harmonically immaculate and quietly strange. Very Libra elegance with Virgo wit. It feels charming on the surface, but the writing is much sharper than it first appears.

Backup: Take Me Apart — Kelela
