3 Movie Recommendations For This Weekend, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries

Aries is extremely physical. This makes action films the perfect choice for them, especially if they feature characters that are sultry and very powerful. 

Atomic Blonde: Set during the Cold War, a secret intelligence agent must investigate the death of a fellow agent in Berlin. Agent Lorraine Broughton is sensual and strong, something an Aries can definitely relate to. 

Wonder Woman: An Amazon warrior discovers her true powers in the middle of the battlefield. She would certainly make Aries (the God of War) very proud. 

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: An explorer challenges the forces of powerful villains and ancient artifacts. Lara Croft is fiercely independent and dangerous, with all the fire of an Aries. 

Taurus

Taurus is full of food and love. And they know how one often leads to the other. Here are some very Taurian tales. 

The Ramen Girl: An American woman in Tokyo is trained by a Japanese chef in the art of Ramen making. She adds her own personal twist to the traditional dish and forms a great example of the perfect career path for Taurians

The Three Faces of Eve: A housewife suffering from headaches learns the mysterious cause of her blackouts. In the middle of these blackouts, another personality takes over. One that is wild and flirtatious. Just like all Gemini learn, both personalities must be balanced, or either will lead to trouble.
