READ THIS: Disneystrology: What Your Birthday Character Says About You By Lisa Finander

Ooooh you know we just LOVE birthdays at Whom You Know, and what fun it is to see what Disney has come up with for your birthday.  Fun for kids of all ages, like most Disney things are, Disneystrology gives you a bit of insight into who your friends are too!  This book tells Peachy she is like Figaro from Pinocchio...what do you think?  Who is born August 28 that is Thumper and he is one of Peachy's favorites.  Mickey and Minnie are November 18...this book makes a fantastic gift-for birthdays of course!

Disneystrology combines astrology and numerology with the magic of movies to help readers understand their own personalities. Noted astrologer Lisa Finander has identified 366 unique Disney character types—everyone from Cinderella to WALL-E—and paired these characters to corresponding birth dates.



Readers born on June 3, for example, are especially enthusiastic, caring, and persuasive—traits shared with Dory from the 2003 hit, Finding Nemo. Others born on July 26 are courageous, tenacious, and good-humored—just like Mowgli in The Jungle Book. And those born on September 29 are just like Sulley from Monsters, Inc.— progressive, friendly, and accomplished.



Revisit your favorite characters in a whole new way! Illustrated with hundreds of stills from more than 90 years of classic animation, Disneystrology is an entertaining tribute to the most delightful characters in movie history.



Lisa Finander is an author and editor living in Minnesota, where she earned her B.A. in Psychology and Symbolism from Metropolitan University. As a noted public speaker, she has taught classes, given lectures, and held workshops. Her areas of expertise include but are not limited to: astrology, tarot, Jungian psychology, meditation, and spirituality. She is available for media.



Disneystrology is available for excerpt, feature, or review. First serial is available. Please consider covering Disneystrology in your October issue or on your website during the month of October.
