Embark on your cosmic path to self-discovery with this comprehensive guide to the twelve signs of the zodiac.I found this book at a thrift store. And have used it consistently for years. I grew up hearing of zodiac signs and i can see traits . The book helped my interest. I started reading their sign and love sign.. To family and friends it helps all understanding there journey. Helps. something in it spoke to me. We are here to teach and we are here to learn.the karmatic wheel is always on plays away. making you going go through the sign again until get it. From the earliest days of my fascination with astrology, there was one author whose work invariably left me with mixed feelings: Linda Goodman. Although her work remains popular among the more conventional mystics, most practicing occultists never even mention her. Frankly, some of her advice was rather suspect. To this day, I have yet to read any other astrology books that propose that the real ruler of Taurus is not Venus, but a planet called Pan-Horus. (Equating gods who belong to two different pantheons and have virtually nothing in common in the first place is, if you can believe it, easier to overlook than many of the other quirks of Goodman's writing.) I have switched to Vedic astrology,it works for everyone very specifically with accuracy of precision and timing versus western which can analyze a man's character pretty well but prediction wise,a big faillll!!! 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 book So you see, Goodman never claims that women are inferior to men. She insists at every turn that the man must be in charge of a romantic relationship, though she never states it quite that explicitly. If it puzzles you that she repeatedly expresses support for the ERA, yet describes dominance as "masculine" and submission as "feminine," your reaction indicates not that you are blind to any strand of esoteric wisdom, but that you do not share Goodman's Victorian interpretations of gender. You see, to Goodman, virtually everything exists on a dichotomy. Characteristics are either masculine or feminine, and what characteristics are which depends on the way they have been seen traditionally. Thus, dominance, power, force, determination, stubbornness, and boldness are masculine; submission, gentleness, passivity, dependence, receptiveness, and nurturing are feminine. For this reason, Goodman heavily implies that Aries women are liberated because they are "masculine" and that Pisces women enjoy being submissive because they are "feminine." In this way, Linda Goodman's Love Signs reinforces gender polarization while promoting the women's rights movement.

Linda Goodman's Star Signs: The Secret Codes of the Universe A Practical Guide for the New Age (1987) Your sun sign is determined by the day and month of your birth and is the foundation of your horoscope. Taking each of the twelve signs in turn, world famous astrologer Linda Goodman explains the importance of the sun – the most powerful of all stellar bodies. She describes the characteristics of each sign and how these can be used to really get to know the men, women, children, bosses and employees in your life. This newfound knowledge allows us to feel closer to one another and to understand that, as Goodman says, ‘Not all Capricorns are meek, not all Leos are outwardly domineering and not all Virgos are virgins.’ Learn all this and much, much more from the world-famous astrologer who has helped millions divine their way to success, happiness and love by studying the sun signs. Oh, and she gave very detailed instructions for how we can all spend 15 years slowly eliminating foods from our diets until we eat nothing but fruit. Why would I want to live off of fruit? It’s like her hair-brained ideas about money and karma, it’s about martyrdom and the denial of human pleasures.If you read this book, you will be able to cope with the fussiness and being perfectionist of a Virgo. You will also understand why people born under the sign of Gemini have two or multiple personality that sometimes lead you to confusion. You will be able to adjust with the tranquility and slow pacing personality of Taurean, level up the energy and cheerfulness of Sagittarius, praise the Leon, laugh with the jokes of moody Cancerian, be as ambitious as Capricorn, as sweet as Pisceans and as friendly as Aquarians. We will also realize our desire to find out the mistery of Scoprion, the enthusiasm of people born under the sign of Aries and the beauty and judgement of Libran.

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. 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 : Horowitz, Mitch (2009). Occult America: The Secret History of How Mysticism Shaped Our Nation. Random House Digital. p.253. ISBN 9780553806755.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. I think the message is good hopeful. she explains it in with wisdoms. And 8 apractical way to use the signs to get to know youself. Hall, Sarah; Rein, Richard K. "Why Did Her Lover Flee? Is Her Daughter Dead? Linda Goodman Seeks Answers in the Stars". People . Retrieved 16 August 2018. 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. For further evidence of this misguided notion, see the penultimate paragraph of the Leo Woman/Leo Man section:
