Books - Linda Goodman's Sun Signs
|
Rating:  -
What can I say? There are some excellent books and resources avaliable on the subject of astrology. However I promise nothing holds a candle to Ms. Goodman's work. This is money very well spent. You will find yourself refering to this book for years, and each time it is somehow fresh and as meaningful as the first time. I have bought this at least 20 times over the past 13 years....I either give them away, or Im so often travelling with it that it has been lost once or twice, which is always tragic. I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS BOOK AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU! Excuse me for rasing my voice I get excited. Its a great book and if you are not familiar with it then Im excited for you. First of all the information is just dead on accurate. Now each persons natal chart includes a whole lot of elements beyond the sun which accounts for say two scorpios that are comepletely different ect. Nonetheless she manages to nail it pretty damn close. Each signs chapter is comprised of sub-chapters including how to recognize the sign generally, men of the sign, women as well naturally, child, boss and employee.Interestingly enough she begins each with a verse from Alice and Wonderland that in an abstract manner manages to also describe the nature of the sign represented quite well. I think the best thing about Linda Goodman is that she is never disparaging or remotely negative in her descriptions. It is not sugarcoated just spoken it seems from a sincere, vibrant understanding and optimistic perspective of human nature. I feel like I've just been gushing but it really is that good.Love Signs as well as Relationship Signs(which was I believe compiled from her lifetime of work after she had passed away) are both great as well. Love Signs also being a must have. I had her book Gooberz years ago and I am not suggesting it todayt. I had no idea what she was talking about to be quite honest. Perhaps I just didnt get it...Good Luck

So Linda knows a lot about astrology? She has very few qualifications. Do you know people study astrology for years before they become even passably proficient? She just read a couple of books, writes in a very interesting style... and there you go, she's an appointed expert in the subject. Astrology's not just about sun signs, it's a very complex science.
Generalized statements like 'Arians are like infants, think only of themselves' and 'Taureans are slow learners and troublesome for teachers at school' ... well, are applicable only in some circumstances. There are lots of selfless Arians (like my aunt) and lots of Taurean whizkids. How can she get away with atrocious statements like that? She also said, 'Aquarius is the sign of genius.' I know so many Aquarian duds (obviously there are lots of Aquarian geniuses around too, but no statement of hers can be taken to be conclusively applicable to all signs.) She implies Capricorns are slow at learning and states 'Capricorns' learning methods are outdated.' I always top my class and grasp things before anyone else (Before lots of people who belong to intelligent signs - read Gemini, Aquarius.) Obviously, that isn't to imply that there aren't Gemini and Aquarius school toppers, there must be plenty.
As for her saying that even if someone appears wildly different from their sun sign, if you study them closely you will see they are true to their basic nature.... well, if you try really hard you can just about pin anything to anybody.
I was reading out what she said about Pisces to my father, and it went from bad to worse because not even one thing she said applied to him (My father does not frequently haunt museums at all, and he's not at all dreamy). Do you know why? 'Cause everyone has a unique chart consisting of ascendant sign, moon sign, descendant, etc. Plus there are so many other signs like healing sign, love sign, communication sign, rebellion sign, etc. Every person is a unique individual. If you must believe in astrology, then believe in those who study personal charts and everything. Don't go for generalized nonsense.
Two stars for the entertainment value (it was fun reading at the least.)

This book is BRILLIANT. Linda Goodman was a great astrologer who combines knowledge and humor in her writing about the 12 sun signs. The descriptions are accurate, interesting, and so funny to read that it never gets old. When I read the book for the first time, I was amazed at how well it described the person I was thinking of as I read the description of their sun sign. There's not much else to say except that this is a fantastic book.

I liked this book alot, except she didnt really pay any attention to developing the sun sign profiles of women like she details for men. Its annoying and lame, just because she is so good at what she does but is really not concerned with developing insight into women. But still i love to read this book over and over to help me keep my world an enchanted place, which i enjoy.

An excellent book for the novice or intermediate astrology student, or for anyone who's just curious. Highly recommended.
