Air Signs

Air signs are thoughtful communicators, which makes them great for planning to overthrow corruption or becoming leaders. Or learning magic (we see you, Aquarians. You’re more than just aliens and “out of this world” jokes.)

Gemini ♊️

Libra ♎️

Aquarius ♒️

Fire Signs

Fire signs are goddamn passionate. Stoking the fires of rebellion, jazzing up others, boldness— fire signs love an adventure. That’s why we paired them with zines involving action, creativity, and justice.

Aries ♈️

Leo ♌️

Sagittarius ♐️

Water Signs

Water signs have a reputation for being the emotional ones, and that’s rad. (A LOT of Microcosm folks are Cancers!) Water signs are intuitive and compassionate, making them great supporters and artists.

Cancer ♋️

Scorpio ♏️

Pisces ♓️

Earth Signs

Earth signs are solid and grounded, pragmatic and practical. We’ve matched them to zines ranging from the nesting-homey-stability vibe all the way to survival techniques. Because if we get lost in the woods, we want it to be with a Capricorn.

Taurus ♉️

Virgo ♍️

Capricorn ♑️

Zine Month Roundup!

Microcosm began with zines, and they remain our bread and butter as a production ethos, as accessible information transmitters, and as incubators for creativity. We celebrate these pocket-sized testaments to DIY ingenuity year-round, but July is officially recognized as Zine Month, so we’re shining the spotlight on our wide-ranging zine collections to celebrate.

Below are excerpts from a few themed collections we put together to amplify the amazing work being done in itty bitty book form, with each theme containing a little something for everybody. Dig in, enjoy!
