Astrology for Lovers

Summary: astrology for the intelligent
Review: Astrology for Lovers is a great book for those who want to know more about their significant others' inner drives and why they are the way they are. And plus, it gives an insight to ascendants which I personally didn't know about until I read this book. Liz Greene also takes away stereotypical images portrayed in newspaper columns which is refreshing for those of us who are curious about what's beyond our "lucky days of the month". Give it a shot, it'll be definitely worth the time. :)

Summary: The Best of Its Kind
Review: Despite its rather corny title and cover, this book is by far the best-written and clearest articulation of the archetypal nature of astrology as it intersects with the specifics of the psychology of the individual. It's influenced by Jung, not someone's half-baked *idea* of Jung, and this is also refreshing. Overall, it's the best book of its kind I've ever read--the *only* book I've ever read on "astrology", in fact, that lead me to feel I had come away with genuine psychological insights into myself, thus giving validity to a subject that is usually approached sophomorically at best.

Summary: The astrology book that explain deep emotion and direction
Review: I am a Sagittarian, and I am very excited when I was reading about my sign. I always think how happy would I be if I had live as a true Sagittarian. I have a friend who is of Capricorn. I shew her the Myth of Capricorn on this book, and she was shocked with the accuracy. Now she become an astrology lover.

I have been studying astrology for nearly 10 years. So far this is the best book I have ever read. As mentioned in this book, Astrology is not just about the personal behavior, but the motivation behind the behavior. Everyone has his own destination to go, and they have their own path to go. By understand myself, appreciating myself and live as myself will I become a contented and a whole person.

Summary: The Best of Its Kind
Review: Liz Greene will blow you away. Somehow she has eerily succeeded in describing deeply personal truths to each and every sign. This is no vague fluff in newspapers and fortune cookies. I also have another book by Greene that is out of print entitled "Star Signs For Lovers" and I guard it carefully because anytime anyone reads even a few sentences they are shocked at the accuracy of the description of their personalities and tendencies both secret and expressed in relationships. Just don't tell your love about it unless you think they are ready to understand your shadow. Greene somehow intelligently puts into words what every individual already knows and didnt really understand about themselves. As you read this book, you will find yourself stopping and exclaiming "that is so true!". Ive seen it happen with all my friends, and I enjoy sharing their personal discoveries, especially the skeptics whose set beliefs are no match for Liz Greene. I recommend this book to EVERYONE, and NO! You cant borrow it!. This book is so well written with such simple and personal intelligence, and so many insights, I want to know more about its mysterious author. What is her sign? Liz Greene is the real thing, some kind of cosmic prohpet. I guarentee she will freak you out.

Summary: Fresh perspective
Review: This is not a traditional information text, you won't find delineations of planetary positions or house emphasis. It is a book of Liz Greene's personal opinions and experience of the sun signs in relation to relationships...and it is wonderful. She writes of each sign individually; their potentials, their shadows, and the way they are expressed differently in men and women. She writes with humor and compassion, giving new insights on both signs with notoriously "bad" names and those who can seem to do no wrong in the horoscope columns. Reading it was not only enlightening but thoroughly enjoyable. She respects the intelligence of her audience, and get's herself across as one might to a valued fellow earthling.

Summary: Liz Greene does it again
Review: This is the second astrological book I ever owned. (I now have a collection of around 24 books).

The best thing about this book is actually the beginning and ending of each chapter and not the definition of each sun signs itself imho. Liz Greene puts in a lot of passion in writing her ideas and thoughts about astrology and for that I salute her. She gave me the impression she's really writing astrology for the sake of the cosmos and not for the sake of the dollar signs behind astology.

For most of the star signs, she gave pretty accurate (if not somewhat generic) information. But I find all her star signs to be too 'good'. She pointed out that 'We simply can't like everybody'. But her books makes it such that 'We simplcy can't dislike everybody'. She make everyone nice and kind and generic.

Personally, I feel that Greene should have an influence of Libra in her, she makes her book decorative, beautiful and balanced. If I ever want to feel good about myself or people around me, I would definitely turn to Greene's book.

I find this book to be appropriate for anyone who is starting out in astrology, it's quite a delight to read and does contain a lot of information. With this book, you would learn about the general ideas of Earth, Fire, Air and Water signs. This is hardly emphasised in many other books. Since this book is not too pricy, I recommend it to anyone who is interested in astrology, however, I won't recommend it if you are already self-professed professionals in astrology.
