And no one – certainly Sharona – believes that her horoscope is coming true, because, as she will gladly explain, it is impossible to argue with the stars and when there are superpowers It’s also hard to resist: Sharona uses the horoscope to help her friend get revenge on a violent man, bring a lost dog home and even make the villagers win the lottery. Besides, she hopes that the person who hurt her in her youth will finally apologize, and explain why he betrayed her and broke her heart. But it quickly becomes clear to Sharona that there is a problem with the horoscope: it comes true, but not necessarily the way she planned. After she managed to complicate everyone’s lives, Sharona has to see how she keeps her secret from being revealed, prevents her heart from breaking once more and most importantly: regains control over her life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Germany- Deutscher Science Fiction Preis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sfintranslation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/westerboer.jpg\")
