Linda Goodman's Sun Signs: The Secret Codes of the Universe

Product Information

Lastly, there are some very interesting things in here, like what she says about anagrams, but most of the book is personal opinions of hers about everything from ghosts to politics. She rambled a LOT. And told tons of personal stories about people that went nowhere. And placed way too much importance on people’s Sun signs, which is weird for an astrologer to do. She should’ve known better. The Sun sign is the last thing I look at, if I look at it at all, and I do chart readings full time. Holden, James H. (2006). "Linda Goodman and Sun Signs". A History of Horoscopic Astrology (2nded.). American Federation of Astrologers. ISBN 9780866904636.

This book describes a lot regarding various sun signs in a very interesting way even if you do not want to believe it sometimes. It becomes very interesting when a person reads it and matches his or her qualities. she said believe and just that believe and expect a miracle,!!!now what a fool,as of the whole world just by faith!!she never mentioned that we need action to achieve our goals,not just belief,since she wrote from the judeo-abrahamnic Christian ideology

I have highlighted i greatly and it's always by my bed. Have do and will continue to read it to everybody. My family, Young people and the couple section helps you learn the others sign with comparability. Robert Mcg. Thomas Jr. (25 October 1995). "Linda Goodman, Writer Turned Astrologer, Dies". nytimes.com . Retrieved 17 November 2023. Peter was a Sun Sign Gemini--even though I use particular quotes of his to symbolize other signs in this book, a Sun Sign Gemini he was, who desired never to grow up, searching for something he never quite found, forever destined to be sure only of his own shadow, never of another human being—until, we trust, through eventual enlightenment, he learned at last the lesson of love. The book is organized by Sun sign combinations. All the combinations involving Aries go first, followed by the remaining combinations involving Taurus, then all the remaining combinations involving Gemini, and so on in this fashion. The first pairing we see is the Aries/Aries Relationship, followed immediately by Aries Woman/Aries Man. The next entry is the Aries/Taurus Relationship, which precedes Aries Woman/Taurus Man, which itself precedes Aries Man/Taurus Woman. Thus, the Pisces section contains a mere two entries: the Pisces/Pisces Relationship and Pisces Woman/Pisces Man. Strangely, unlike some erotic astrology books that dissuade the reader from starting a relationship with a member of a conflicting Sun sign, Goodman asserts that any pairing can be compatible; the two halves only need to undertake more work to understand each other. This interpretation is quite refreshing, and an approach that more occult books would do well to follow. Of course, it's likely that Goodman refused to let anything obstruct her "love conquers all" message, as is evident from the "Twelve Mysteries of Love" chapter that bridges the introduction and the relationship analyses.

And she went on and on about people needing gurus to teach them. I’ve never had any gurus to give me their personal perspective. I think had she actually gone within to find true answers, this would be a much stronger book. I read this repeatedly as a kid, because I’ve been interested in astrology and numerology since then. I just now read it again as an adult. I am only giving it 3 stars, which is very generous, because it’s one of the most accurate books I’ve ever seen on numerology. It’s the method I use to this day for my clients. BUT... linda goodman Apart from two great b ooks--namely her poetry b ooks and sun signs and love signs was a huge failure in the mystical world-she was no guru she was a self-deluded freak,heartbroken from the absence of her child,so she created some contorted theories to fool herself and her readers I was 16 or 17 when I read the book!!!I genuinely believed in word druids,immortality,weight loss and so many theories!!!!I was so enchanted,but it made me the most unrealistic and spoiled my adolescence Linda Goodman was born in Morgantown, West Virginia. Although she never revealed her year of birth, swearing even her father to silence, it emerged posthumously that she was born in 1925. According to data collector Frank C. Clifford, Linda was born in Morgantown on April 9, 1925, at 6:05a.m. Clifford cites Linda's birth certificate as his source. Her father's name was Robert Stratton Kemery; her mother's maiden name was Mazie McBee. By her own account, Goodman was born in her maternal grandparents' house on 115 Kingwood Street. She attended and graduated from Parkersburg High School in 1943 aged 18 years.It also defines the nature and characteristics of water, air and earth signs. As it was written a lot of years ago, things have changed greatly. It is based on people belief on astrology. Some of the points that I found interesting were like : The real draw, if you can dignify it with such a designation, of Linda Goodman's output is her hokey writing style. Her first book, Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, frequently read like a corny pop ballad from the 1930s, but it was still just barely sensible enough for a believer to consider it credible. The sentimentality of Linda Goodman's Love Signs is exaggerated enough to be a "New Age Bobby Goldsboro song," as one third party put it. For instance, take this elucidation on the Sun signs of Peter and Wendy from Peter Pan: For me the best thing about this book is it helped me appreciate myself and other people. At the end of the day, I always end up saying "kaya pala ganyan siya dahil ganito ang sign niya." This book is not made to create prejudice but to help understand the oddness of other people.

I could go on and on... but the point is I strongly advise to read this book with a skeptical mindset,dont blindly believe it!!!as she says herself in the bookWendy was clearly a Cancerian--motherly, possessive, gentle and imaginative, trying out her wings in a flight of fancy under the Full Moon, as Moon Maidens often do. No strong Sun Sign harmony between them, you see, so they quarreled now and then, and each heard a different drummer. Wendy ended up in the final chapter as nearly all Cancerians do, safe and secure. No matter how wistfully her heart longed to fly again, she chose home, marriage and children as her ultimate dreams; while Peter, like nearly all Geminis, continued his eternal search for a brighter rainbow, somewhere beyond...still obsessed by twin desires, longing to settle down with Wendy, yet longing just as fiercely to remain free—and true to himself (Goodman, 2). This book is the reason by I am very much hooked in astrology nowadays. Linda Goodman carefully and accurately explain each zodiac sign in some forms of entertainment. In fact, I was suprised that most of her descriptions are true to me. For further evidence of this misguided notion, see the penultimate paragraph of the Leo Woman/Leo Man section: I didn't believe in Astrology until I bought this book. I just had to read the Aries (the first sign) chapter in the book and I knew then to my great delight that this book is genuine.
