Linda Goodman's Love Signs : A New Approach to the Human Heart

Rating:
Summary: I love Linda Goodman!
Review: Funny thing is, she doesn't dwell on generalities. She's so specific about each sign's characters, that you keep nodding and laughing in agreement as you recognize these clumsy Saggitarians, meticulous Virgos, ingenius but spaced out Aquarians, and the smug Leos in your life. I'm a cool, stubborn Capricorn, and as Linda explains it,way down beneath this cool "ice queen" exterior lies a warm, sensitive, caring heart, who really should realize that it is alright to need others badly as much as they need me.

Summary: Accurate, Insightful, delightful reading.
Review: I discovered Linda's Sun Signs first. I read it and was completely amazed by its content. Up until that time I had been a complete skeptic. I then discovered Love Signs and it probably has been the most helpful book I have read on the subject of relationships. She is such a great writer and truly has a gift. I have given her book to all of my friends, and they still thank me for it. Do yourself a favor, buy the book, read the book. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Not a must-have book
Review: I got this book because I read one of the reviews here that says this was better than "Sun Signs", an earlier book by the same author. I totally beg to differ. This book is much bigger than "Sun Signs" but ironically not as useful. The size of the book is a result of what the author has to say about each pairing of the signs, male and female. It does not tell you whether they are compatible or not, but only gives you the plus and negative sides and let you decide. Well, if that is the case, why bother even pairing the signs? I can be the judge after reading the sign of my potential partner in "Sun Signs" and then I'll decide whether she is right for me or not. In the end, it is more or less of what you read in "Sun Signs". In many cases, much less than "Sun Signs".

Summary: A sign of my love for love signs.
Review: I guess nearly every astrology student is aware of this text -a worthy follow up to her "Sun Signs" It's been loved and treasured as well as teased. Linda Goodman writes with passionate conviction about all of the astrological combinations and this book indeed appears a labour of love. She explains the harmony/disharmony that commonly exist between the different sign elements and modes and what each sign is here to learn and can best teach. The literary quote before each analysis is delightful. Eg: Cancer/Pisces: "Pale rays of light tiptoed across the waters; and by and by there was to be heard a sound, at once the most musical and the most melancholy in the world - the mermaids talking to the moon." It is not as clinically scientific as many texts but the author is irresistably enthusiastic about her subject. Don't expect total accuracy - the book is general. Some statements are contentious. Eg: She says that Aquarians and Pisceans have much in common and are good for each other. Astrologer Teri King was far less enthusiastic about this combination saying that a cool, detached Aquarian is not a good mate for the emotional and sentimental fish. Either writer could be write depending on the specific planetary emphases in each subjects chart. I hope this book encourages budding astrologers to keep delving into this beautiful and mysterious science. Anything by Liz Greene could be a next best step.

Summary: AN inspiration
Review: I HAVE FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE THE BEST BOOK THAT I HAVE EVER READ ON ASTROLOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS. IF I HAD READ THIS BOOK EARLIER, I WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH A 30 YEAR MARRIAGE TO THE WRONG LOVE SIGN. I NOW READ IT BEFORE I GO OUT ON A DATE AND I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE ON TARGET ALWAYS. I HAVE GIVEN SIX GIFTS OF THIS BOOK TO PEOPLE I RESPECT AND I HAVE JUST ORDERED ANOTHER FIVE BOOKS FOR FRIENDS TODAY!

Summary: Right on the money
Review: I have had my Love Signs book going on 12 years now. When I bought it I read the entire chapter on my then fiance and now husband of 10 years, before I got out of the store. I couldnt put it down long enough to get home with it. It is an amazingly accurate account of each combination of astrological signs. Even my husband who could care less about any "mystic mumbo jumbo" (as he puts it) loves this book. I have shown it to many, many friends and it is allways recieved and reviewed with great enthusiasm. Having read the book at the beginning of my relationship with my taurus husband (I am scorpio)I can say with confidence that everything she wrote about us is true and still hold's true today. Buy It!
