1. What is Shiitake Astrology

"Shiitake Astrology" is a unique astrology content by astrologer Mr. Shiitake, who visualizes the fortunes of the 12 zodiac signs with "aura colors" and expresses everyday psychology in gentle words. It is presented in multiple formats such as weekly, first half, and second half, with a distinctive style where readers take away phrases like sticky notes and turn them into motivation. shiitakeuranai.jp

2. Journey from Birth to Present

Started serialization in 2014 with 'VOGUE GIRL'. Around 2017, it became a social phenomenon when "too accurate it's scary" trended on X (formerly Twitter). After the magazine version ended in 2023, it fully transitioned to the official website. In 2024, a monthly subscription-based zodiac magazine was launched on note, and in 2025, the weekly and semi-annual astrology was revamped. pottenblog.com1101.com

1. The warmth of words — Prioritizing empathy over scolding, expressing in a way that resonates with emotional fluctuations.

2. Aura Color — Using color psychology to visually anchor messages.

3. Narrative Structure — Depicting the half-year as a single "journey," making it easier for readers to project onto their own life stories. with.kodansha.co.jp

7. Practical Guide for Work, Love, and Self-Care

• Work: Using the weekly horoscope's "action tasks" as topics for Monday morning meetings can boost team morale.

• Love: Read the zodiac columns for yourself and your partner, and set the periods prone to negativity as "discussion periods."

• Self-Care: Color therapy matching your aura color (e.g., Aries = red gadgets) is also popular.

8. Summary of Interview with Shiitake: How to Make Astrology Your "Heart's Socks"

In a conversation with Shigesato Itoi, Shiitake said, "Astrology is like 'socks for the heart.' It gently warms a cold heart," and recommended securing "personal time" when reading astrology.1101.com

9. Criticism and Limitations: Beyond the Occult to "Word Prescriptions"

• While there is criticism that the scientific basis is unclear, evidence of "improvement in self-esteem" is noted in psychology.

• Shiitake himself states that "what's important is not whether it hits the mark, but whether it makes you want to take action after reading," positioning fortune-telling as a "word prescription."

10. Conclusion and Future Prospects

The 2025 edition of "Shiitake Horoscope" continues to evolve with a dual structure of an official website and an SNS community. It is reported that from 2026 onwards, a "Zodiac × MBTI" series and real events are being considered, expanding beyond the realm of fortune-telling content into a "sympathy platform."
