Astrology for Lovers Paperback – Illustrated, February 1, 2009

A truly beautiful book

I first read this book in 1981 at the age of 16. I had always been interested somewhat in astrology and, when I read this book, it sealed the deal for a lifelong study of it. Today, I am an accomplished "amateur" astrologer. I mostly view astrology as a way to understand myself and others. I urge anyone who is looking for a detailed explanation of the 12 zodiac signs to read it. She has great insight into each sign and their element (and modes to a lesser degree). As an Aries with a stellium of Aries in my chart, when I read the Aries chapter I felt she had known me all my life! This is a great starter book and introduction to astrology!

I first bought an old hard cover edition of this book back in 1997 at an used books store in Hollywood. The book was stolen in 2007 so I decided to order it again, this time through amazon. This book has a wrong title in my opinion. Although it does cover the "love" part of each one of us, this book is much more than that. It allows the reader to learn about himself/herself, and that's how books like this should be used for anyways. Very interesting reading, and the "shadow" sections on each one of the signs is of great insight because all shadows are related to aspects of our personality that we don't recognize and don't accept. Everyone casts a shadow. The only ones that don't are those standing in complete darkness. If you want to keep learning about yourself, this book is for you.

The only thing I like about this book is that it tries to teach you the meaning behind the sign by giving you a mythology story that shows how the energy of that sign could be displayed in an individual.

This is a good book to read for beginners into Astrology. I was a little disappointed, because I've read most of the material on Astrodienst.com and from Liz Greene's Sun Signs book, which I highly recommend!!! Anywho, it's a good book to have, and I love Liz Greene, she's the best!

This is by far one of the best astrology books on the market. I have been purchasing astrology books for many years. It is my perception that no authors surpasses Liz Greene or Linda Goodman is astrological expertise. I highly recommend this book. The book allows individuals to get an understanding of their mythological essence and the shadowy side of their personality. This will likely be the beginning of self knowledge and a life long journey into understanding self and fellow human beings. No astrology book on the market surpasses this text to the best of my knowledge.

It is a very wonderful book. If someone has curiosity to understand more about each astrological sign, this is a great book to start with. It is very delightful, and has many deep insights. It is not really just for lovers, it is for anybody, who is fascinated by that mysterious connection, which is in between our birthdate, and our lives.
