Summary: Essential for any astrology student's library
Review: A thorough understanding of the sun signs seems to be an essential step for anybody seriously studying astrology. Linda Goodman has done an outstanding job describing them in their purest forms.Goodman's writing style reflects men's and women's roles as they were in 1968, when the book was written. Some seem to find this offensive; I find it refreshing. The wonderful thing about understanding the sun signs is that you can apply that knowledge in so many ways. I'm having a lot of fun "people watching," trying to figure out what a person's sign is based on their behavior. A knowledge of the sun signs can also be used to help understand the planets that rule the signs, and also to the houses. Well worth the money even if you are not an astrology student and just want to figure out your spouse or kids!

Summary: A Classic
Review: Being a professional astrologer, I rarely endorse a general 'sun sign' book on astrology, however Linda Goodman's book is, without a doubt, a classic of its kind. It certainly made an impression on me when I first read it and was one of the early reasons why I decided to make this area my life work. Read and enjoy!

Summary: Own it? I've Owned Twelve <at least> of it!
Review: First of all, if you own this book <I'm talking about the small mass-market version; if you're fortunate enough to have the hard-cover first edition, put it under lock and key, won't you?>, don't loan it with any expectations of getting it back. It just won't happen. The friend you loaned it to will loan it to another friend who "just has to have it," and that friend will loan it to another friend "who's going through a really bad time and will need this," who will loan it to another friend who has "just met this person, and needs to know all about him/her", who in turn loaned it to. . .and on it goes. This book is a classic. I don't use that word lightly. I still have my "first edition" put carefully away as if someone handles it one more time, it will likely fall apart. "Linda Goodman's Sun Signs" is one of those books I pull off my library shelf and read through randomly for sheer pleasure, or because I've met someone new and interesting and discretely discovered their birthday. It's rarely led me wrong. What's worse, when I read the description of the typical Sagittarian, and the Sagittarian male, it reads like it was written by me, my mother, the CIA, the FBI, and all my friends through more than the half century I've spent on this planet. I first found that rather scary, but now I find it comforting. It means I'm simply being me, the person as I am supposed to be. Over the years, Ms. Goodman has been criticized for her somewhat "shallow" approach to a controversial topic. Whether Astrology has any "scientific" validity, I leave to better minds than my own. But I can testify, from my own experience, that if I can learn an individual's birthday, read Ms. Goodman's text on that sun-sign, and whenever possible, take into account the ascending sign, the moon sign, and other astrological influences that may alter the basic influence of the Sun on a person's birth, I've rarely found Ms. Goodman to be far off the mark. But of course, that's simply my own unique experience. Many scientists, physicists, and astronomers will swear on a stack of Bibles that the position of the planets cannot possibly influence the personality of a person born at such-and-such a place at this-and-this an hour, under that-and-that configuration of heavenly bodies. I must in fairness point out, however, that mathematics will also conclusively prove that a bumblebee cannot fly! A bumblebee's wings are too slender, it's body is too fat an unaerodynamic, for it ever to acheive the condition of lift plus thrust being greater than load plus drag; the situation necessary to acheive flight! L+T > Ld + D = F. That's the equation. Look it up. All I'm saying is that Ms. Goodman's charming book gives me a roadmap of the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac about as reliable as the latest Rand/McNalley to earthbound travel. And that's about as good as it gets. Just don't loan it out and expect it back. Buy two. One to loan, and one to keep <and keep the second one for yourself!>!!

Summary: Very accurate
Review: I came across this book while waiting for something exciting to happen. A friend of mine offered to let me read it. After reading my own sign I was just totally amazed. Almost everything I read was true. The next sign I read belonged to this girl that I really liked but did not work out. I can't say what would happen had I read this book first, but I can say I would definitely know more about her than I had during our brief courtship. Not only is this book accurate, but it is very detailed too.

Summary: Linda Goodman's Sun Signs
Review: I have purchased several copies of this book over the past few years, but every time I loan it to someone because I want them to read a certain part, amazingly they never return it. Then I have to buy another copy! Linda Goodman has an amazing talent for explaining astrology in a humorous way in which we can all relate and understand. I refer to this book a lot when I'm trying to "figure someone out". I personally have a library of Astrology books, but this is the one I most often refer to, followed in a close second by Linda Goodman's "Love Signs", and a puple book entitled "The only astrology book you'll ever need". For anyone who is interested in astrology, even if they don't know a lot about it, this is a good book to start with!

Summary: The most accurate sun signs book I have ever read....
Review: I have researched astrology for ten years and Linda Goodman's Sun Signs proves to be the most accurate of all astrological guides. Goodman has an extraordinary gift for her detailed descriptions of each sun sign, including all aspects of one's lifestyle. I have shared this incredible book with my friends, family, and co-workers. Just as I expected, they rely on their own copies now. Linda Goodman's Sun Signs will be the one book that remains on my nightstand for years to come

Summary: Time has come for this to take on title of a CLASSIC
Review: I remember reading this book years ago! And I do mean years! I was probably 16 or 17 years old. Why would that be important for a review? Because I understood it then, and refer back to it now. In fact I am on my 3rd copy! 1st one, because of all the use, fell apart. 2nd one, lent out and was so good never came back. 3rd one, sits on my bookcase in the area designed for most frequently used books. Sun Signs describes the Suns aspects on ones personalities for everyone in your life. Boss, Male, Female, Child. And very darn accurate if I may add. The reading is kept simple while staying informative. Personally, I don't want to learn how to perform astrology on someone, I just like to read the characteristics. Trine and Seventh Houses overwhelm me! This book is terrific if thats what you are after. I have to say, it helped me to learn where someone is coming from, the way they view life, and the best way to manage my interactions with them. So by understanding where that person in your life is operating from, your encounters can be on a more positive note. As far as enchancing myself and my life, it helped there as well. I am a Sag. When I read this book eons ago, I recall reading about the Sag woman. I was barely a woman at 16 but thats the chapter I read just the same! heehee I recall reading how sometimes a Sag can wound others with their words...they do not mean to do so, but they do. And whether intentional or not, wounds hurt. Even at the young age of 16, upon reading that description, from this book, it aided me to weigh my words just a bit more! Havent conquered this totally quite yet! hahaha But Linda Goodmans insightful words sure did help. Recommend adding this to your collection strongly. I could promise, it'll be dog eared and picked up time and time again!

Summary: BEST ASTROLOGY BOOK EVER!
Review: Linda Goodman, although held somewhat to the side by professional astrologers, nevertheless has written a book that has done more to popularize an understanding of astrology than almost any other volume of its kind. Linda Goodman's descriptions are accurate because, Dear Reader, there is a great deal of accuracy to astrology. Goodman isn't the deepest person in the world or the greatest astrologer, but she sure knows how to reach out and grab a person. If you want to understand your boss, or better yet, create the perfect boss -- click "BUY" and get this book over to your house right away!! This book is also an essential to every astrologer's library. Read the whole thing all the way through at least once.
