The Secret Language of Birthdays: Personality Profiles for Every Day of the Year

Product Information

This approach is less deductive than inductive, for example, the question asked is not how Virgos are perceived. But what are people born on September 12 like? Although Gregory seemed to have solved the problem, a snake lurks in the grass for birthday gath­erers, since only those Catholic countries under the influence of Rome (France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg) immediately followed his lead. The Protestant countries (or parts of countries in the case of Holland or Germany) made the change at different timesthereafter. The biggest problem, how­ever, rests with British birthdays, since the British did not go along with the proposal until 1752. Of course, a British old style (OS, Julian) birthday from the seventeenth centwy can be con­ve1ted with certainty to a new style one (NS, Gregorian) by sim­ply adding ten days. However, which birthday should be used for a seventeenth century British figure like John Milton—­December 19 (NS) or December 9 (OS)? And furthermore, what do we do about those figures like George Washington in whose lifetime the changeover took place? Should Washington's birth­day be observed on February 11 (OS) or February 22 (NS)? I didn't get to read this cover to cover, of course, but I looked at what related to me and a few other people I know. I'm not sure the September 21st birthday really described the two people I know who have that birthday, but maybe I don't know them well enough? Though I think I do. It seemed like they wouldn't necessarily recognize themselves in what was said, but maybe they would and I just don't. Hmm. Personology holds that not only are certain types of peo­ple born at various times of the year, as Jung or astrology might have predicted, but even specifically on certain days. Jung pointed out that each of us in the human family, regard­less of where we were born or how we live, carries with us a huge repository of symbols in a kind of collective or archetypalunconscious. The symbols of astrology itself, on the mandala of the zodiac, perhaps spring not only from the configurations suggested by the constellations in the heavens, but also from our own shared human archetypes.

There is a traditional symbolism associated with the signs in MOVE, originally derived from the configurations of the heavenly constellations that bear their names. The data underlying the personality science system presented in The Secret Language of Birthdays are, of course, those with more than seven thousand birthdays.

For the sake of clarity, the following rules have been adopted in The Secret Language of Birthdays birthday lists. OS birthdays are used in antiquity, and for those Europeans who died before the changeover took place to NS. Although astrologers disagree with this approach, arguing that April 3, 1421, was really April 12, 1421, it is this book's contention thatthe date of birth should be the one both accepted by govern­ment decree and celebrated by that individual at that time. In the special case of a small number of universal figures and astrologers, such as Nostradamus, who were aware of the dif­ference or seem to have transcended their time, birthdays are given NS. Thus all historical birthdays are for the most part pre­sented as OS until the change from OS to NS took place in that countty. British seventeenth century birthdays are thus OS even though other countries were ten days ahead.For the first time ever, the Toltec wisdom from the Ruiz family is bound together in a book of Daily Meditations. January 9 people highly value personal initiative, personal responsibility and personal freedom. Because of this they may at times lose sight of more social or universal goals, and perhaps fail to understand or appreciate how the group-oriented mind thinks as well. Moreover, for many born on this day, learning to treat people as ends in themselves rather than means to and end will take them farther in the long run. Cultivating perhaps less dynamic, but more human, values such as kindness, understanding and acceptance is crucial to their growth and indeed their ultimate success.

By simply knowing the date of birth, one can gain deep knowledge not only about oneself but also about friends, loved ones—even new acquaintances. Historically seen, we may be looking at a partial explana­tion for why similar personalities are born in different time periods under the same sign, cusp or on the same day. The cyclical unfolding of repetitive "incarnations"--much like Yeats's gyres-suggests a cettain personality type arising at ahigher or lower level of the spiral, but always in the same loca­tion in any given year.Because of this, a surprising number of people around the world not only know their signs but recognize their symbols in their daily lives. Gary is internationally known as the bestselling author of The Secret Language of Birthdays, The Secret Language of Relationships, and the Secret Language of Destiny.

We are connected to a cycle of life on Earth, the pace of which (in the Northern Hemisphere) dictates that beginning with the winter solstice, around December 21, the shortest day and longest night, the days will become progressively longer and the nights shorter. Will continue to happen. The spring or vernal equinox is reached around March 21, at which time day and night will be equal. By looking at the characteristics of manypeople born on a given day, and correlating what weknow about them with basic principles of psychology and astrology,personology seeks to explore certainrecurring ideas, actions, concepts and themes which those born on this day--now, in the historical past and in the future--are seemingly fated to encounter. Many people have long suspected, as astrologers believe, that the day you were born affects your personality. While no one knows exactly how or why, birthdays do tend to be uncannily accurate predictors of psychological tendencies. The Secret Language of Birthdays by Gary Goldschneider and Joost Effers describes in detail the characteristics and quirks of personality associated with being born on a particular day of the year. The 366 personality profiles in The Secret Language of Birthdays are based on a combination of astrology, numerology, the tarot, and Gary Goldschneider’s many years of observation of more than 14,000 people, including contemporary and historical figures. Goldschneider’s theory of “personology” proposes that all of life is cyclical: people born on the same day occupy the same point in the year’s cycle and thus share certain characteristics. Learn what famous personalities were born on your birthday….Study your astrological sign and your personology profile….Your strengths, weaknesses, and major concerns will be illuminated while you are given practical advice and spiritual guidance. While you study your profile, you will find it hard to resist examining those of family, friends, colleagues, and favorite celebrities.

The Secret Language of Birthdays is truly a celebration of our differences and similarities as human beings. The Secret Language of Birthdays: Personology Profiles for Each Day of the Year by Gary Goldschneider – eBook Details

The rhythm of the year is largely determined by the changing of the seasons as well as the lengthening and shortening of day and night. These solar changes are approximately the same every year. The 366 personality profiles in The Secret Language of Birthdays are based on a combination of astrology, numerology, the tarot, and Gary Goldschneider's many years of observation of more than 14,000 people, including contemporary and historical figures. Goldschneider's theory of "personology" proposes that all of life is cyclical: people born on the same day occupy the same point in the year's cycle and thus share certain characteristics. Personology posits this central analogy: a day is a year is a lifetime is an age. It modifies conventional astrology in two ways—first in the empirical, earth-orientecl emphasis described above, and, second, in thinking about each sign as simply a fur­ther evolution of the one before it. In this way an astrological sign is really nothing absolute in itself but rather a spoke in the great wheel. Dane Rudhyar was the most important astrologer of our time to propose and clarify this idea.
