The Secret Language of Relationships: Your Complete Personology Guide to Any Relationship With Anyone

Summary: A complete waste of money and time
Review: It might be a fun read for those who find astrology amusing, but for those of us who take it serious, this book is an utter waste of your time and money. There are no aspects, or planets in houses, just a bunch of sun sign comparisons.

Summary: Interesting
Review: It's interesting, and unique. It draws from the popularity of "The Secret Language of Birthdays", but not as good. Get the other book. It's more worth it.

Summary: great book!
Review: Since i am on the cusp of capicorn and aquarius if i wanted to read opon the capicorn-aquarius i would havve to read the capicorn part and then the aquarius part. However, in the The Secret Language of Relationships it provides 5 sets of each individual. For example a typical capicorn would be: capicorn-saggiturus, capicorn I, capicorn II, Capicorn III, and capicorn-aquarius. Dividing the signs into 5 differnt characteristics make sense it provides you with the reasoning on why you may hate one capicorn yet love the other. This book not only shows you the 5 sets of each individual sign it also shows you how compatible you are with each other individual sign as well as yourself on areas such as love, marriage, work, family and friendship. This book is strongly recommend...

Summary: Fabulously accurate, insightful and very helpful!
Review: The authors obviously devoted a lot of time and energy to this effort and I'm glad they did. Gives concise, yet colorful descriptions of oneself, as well as provocative relationship descriptions for marriage, love, family, work. The ratings (ie, BEST: creative work WORST: marriage) hit my relationships on the mark, amazingly. I will use this book for a lifetime. It's easy to look up combinations. Authors divide birthdates into groups of 6 to 8, so you wind up with a total of 48 groupings, and 2304 pairings, each with much finer detail than you could get using just the 12 signs of the zodiac. It works!

Summary: Interesting but not sure if information is valid
Review: The book is definitely interesting and some of it is accurate but I found that more times than not I was dissapointed with the description of relationships as I read this book to myself and to several friends, a lot of the time it didn't necessarily make sense with how I or we view the relationship and I (we) didn't agree with what was said. I do however continue to refer to this book and I really enjoyed reading about my week and how it matched up to other signs (even when I don't have relationships with anyone in the other signs) it would still explain behavior patterns of myself which I found to be fascinating. I do plan on purchasing two other books by the same author.

Review: The classification of birthdays into weeks instead of the usually monthly horoscopes gives a better insight into the personalities of people borned in different weeks. This book is a real.... treasure that I will neve loan out to anybody. It has helped me with my relationships with my friends, colleagues, brothers, sisters......... and more!!!! Thanks for writing such a good book.

Summary: The Self Is Only A Function Of Its Relationship To Another
Review: The genius of this book is its balance between the specific and the general. The authors take the days of the year and group them together into periods of between 6 to 9 days. Though this would seem arbitrary, it merely takes the same logic of the 12 traditional sun signs of astrology, and resolves them to a higher resolution from which more complex meanings can be gleaned. So rather than merely describe the twelve sun sign interactions with each each other (144 relationships), this book decribes 48 specific periods each of which has a relationship with all the other periods (1,176 relationships). In each of the 1,176 half-page vignettes, the authors have a startling ability to evoke the flavors and forces at play between any two of the 48 periods.

Despite this immense specificity, the book is still general enough that any person can understand the 48 relationships - relative to their own period, at an intuitive level so that upon learning another person's birthday, they can immediately triangulate the psychic territory that is formed by the perspective at which their two personalities will view and interact with each other. Without needing to know the time or place of birth, let alone the year - which many people are reluctant to reveal, the month and date alone will allow you to ascertain the tensions and blind spots, as well as the harmonies and affinities that are likely to shape the dynamic of your interactions with the other person.

Aside from the phrase used to name each relationship, the book also provides keywords to describe three strengths and three weaknesses. These are useful for summing up very briefly the essence of the relationship. Although some may find it useful, I would not heed too seriously the authors suggestion that each of the relationships make a best and worst fit when it comes to love, marriage, friendship, family or work. Astrology books tend not to have much of any concensus about recommendations for love, work or family relations. In my opinion, astrology is helpful as an aid to understanding individuals and the relationships formed between them, but not as a basis for deciding what type of a relationship to have with them.

Nevertheless, this book's vast breadth, and deep insight, is an amazing achievement that will raise the eyebrows of even the most adamant astrological skeptics. It will help you see that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It's not so much about yourself or the self of the other, but rather the space that is created between.

Summary: AMAZINGLY ACCURATE!!!!!!!!!
Review: THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT! I HAVE NEVER READ ANOTHER ASTROLOGY BOOK THAT HAS BEEN MORE RIGHT ON. I HAVE HAD FRIENDS THAT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST O.K. AND SAID THE BOOK REALLY DIDN'T DESCRIBE THEM ACCURATELY AT ALL. I THEN READ THE SAME PERSONAL PROFILE OF MY FRIENDS AND IT WAS THEM TO A TEE! THE ONLY REASON SOMEONE WOULD SAY THIS BOOK IS NOT ACCURATE, IS BECAUSE THEY NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THEMSELVES AND THERE RELATIONSHIPS MORE OBJECTIVELY. THIS BOOK IS A MUST! IT HAS MADE ME UNDERSTAND PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS BETTER.
