Books - Linda Goodman's Relationship Signs
|
Rating: -
I went to pick this up at the bookstore because I was hoping to read about my astrological compatibility between some friends and co-workers. Instead of being just the sun signs, there were moon ascendants, the "houses" or whatever, and to use this book correctly you would need the exact day and time the other person was born. Most of us don't know that, so this book is useless. There were also many diagrams that looked so difficult and overwhelming, so I left this one on the shelf. "Love Signs" was much easier to understand.

This book lacks the wit and humor of Linda Goodman's other books, but the relationship material and explanations of planetary aspects are definitely hers. For those who are in denial, if you could properly read the chart, you can go back to her Love Sign Books and do a cross and see that the work is authentic. For example, for a person whose Venus is in Virgo and their partner's is in Aries, you can go back to the Love Signs chapter on an Aries-Virgo relationship and read up pertaining to your particular genders.
Sure, the charts are off some and there are some errors in the book. Get over it! You'll probably see a lot more errors if you read ENOUGH. And trust me, being interested in almost everything, I have.
They did not claim that the charts were Linda's. I believe Crystal said in the preface that she did the charts by computer. If that be the case, then sometimes upon transferring information, things get lost. Stop whining and give her a break! One would think you were Virgos and next to God. Geesh.
Buy the book. :)

I also found this book to have inaccurate tables. Very disappointed.

I am a fan of Linda Goodman for more than 20 years. For reasons I don't understand I never heard of her death, maybe it could have been because in 1995 my life changed radically in many ways, and perhaps in my sub-conscious I did not want anything more to change. So one day I found this book "Linda Goodman's Relantionship signs" and when I read that she had died I was in shock, partly because she was always talking of inmortality and in second place because the book wasn't "talking" like her. I wrote a letter to the co-author Crystal Bush at the address in the last page of the book but never got an answer. Somehow the magic has broken.

I'm a huge fan of Linda Goodman's work, so when I saw this book I grabbed it immediately. I thought it was a bit strange, since I know of her untimely death and the fact that she's already written a fantastic book on relationships and the zodiac (ie: Love Signs)... But I thought oh well, whatever, she must have something more to add.
NO. This book is completely devoid of Linda's trademark unusually witty, disarming turn of phrase and her thoughtful, precise insights and interpretations. Not only that, but WORST OF ALL, when I used this book to work out my ascendant, it was totally WRONG! My rising sign is definitely Libra, NOT Virgo! I tried it on a few other people who's ascendants I knew well, and it was wrong for a few of them also. A lot of the interpretations were also very narrow, lacking in depth or any real insight and thus were hard to ascribe to certain individuals because of that.
Linda's money hungry publishing company or whoever is behind putting this book out is doing her name and memory an enormous disservice. Save your money and make sure you buy Linda's other books like Star Signs, Sun Signs & Love Signs. They are all brilliant.
