Especially this particular set.  If it's your birthday today, do you read that one or the one for your regular sign?  Or both?  What if they say different things?  ;)

 AA> Over time, I have found that the book format of the horoscope  
 AA> has diminished to almost being non-existant.

I remember my parents getting The Canadian Farmer's Almanac as a kid.  I remember thinking it was magical how they knew what the summer or winter was going to be like when it was so far away.  I believe they had horoscopes in there as well.

I don't know if they still print those, but even if they do I'd imagine it would be like Reader's Digest now-a-days.  You're paying for a book full of ads with very little content.

 AA> I have found that since the covid shit started last March there  
 AA> has been an uptick in sales for tarot cards, books about fortune  
 AA> telling and wicca spells, and books that have the F-word in the  
 AA> title.  The swear-word adult colouring books are particularly  
 AA> popular.

I got one of those swear word colouring books for xmas along with a bunch of pencil crayons.  I've not opened it or looked at it other than getting a chuckle when I unwrapped it.  I'm somewhat tempted to re-gift it to my 10-year-old nephew...  ;)
