Linda Goodman's Love Signs: A New Approach to the Human Heart – The Classic Astrology Guide to Zodiac Compatibility

this book is so mind boggling and amazing. you would think linda goodman had to be hiding out in the trunk of your car in order to know the characters of you and your friends and family so perfectly. i let my family members read a little of it and had to buy one for everyone who read some of it. you learn how to treat certain sun signs and learn why you shouldnt treat everyone exactly the same. it is so much fun!

Not only does Linda Goodman provide you with an easy to understand overview of the signs - she tells you the information in the most FUN TO READ way. She writes with such ease and with a voice that makes you feel like she is one of your best friends that you have known for years. My grandmother first gave me this book when I was younger and throughout my life I have used this book to gain a broader understanding of the nature behind each sign in order to better understand the variety of relationships I have had in my life. She is SPOT ON with almost everything she describes. I have repeatedly purchased this book to give as gifts. If you are looking for a great started book for Astrology and how the different signs relate to one another - this is the ONE BOOK I would recommend. I love Linda Goodman and I LOVE this book!!

I remember this book from when I was a little girl and my mom brought it home. I just remember liking the cover and reading the bits about Peter Pan. Then as I got older and began to like to read, I discovered what was inside that cover and the rest was history. I love it. It was a great read from start to finish. Over the years every member of our house has consulted it to plunder its wisdom. I don't know much about astrology nor do I believe in it, but the writing style is what keeps me coming back for more. I love it's whimsical spirit and wisdom. The bits of original poetry are wonderful and inspiring. Of a rainy evening you could do worse than to sit down with this one. There are no boring parts, just charming anecdotes about love and relationships. You will enjoy reading about every sign and combination trying to glimpse descriptions of yourself or of people you know. I just don't have a bad thing to say about this book except that it is too short. I wish there were more signs in the zodiac just to read what Linda Goodman has to say about them. Her other books are good too but this one is definitely the keeper of them all.

I actually lost a copy of this book due to a hurricane and water damage and ordered a replacement. This book has always intrigued me because after much reading and reflection, I decided that it does not postulate that there are 12 kinds of people in the world. However, there are traits and tendencies in people that are worth understanding as you navigate your way through life. When you read this book you might find yourself and those around you described very well. It delves into the way that individuals approach life, For instance, two taurus men could have diametrically different ideas about any subject, but it is their intense (translated as stubborn) tendency to cling to that belief after much reflection that is frankly, very consistent in the ones you know. Taken one step further, these broad tendencies among astrological signs could potentially affect a relationship. Whether you believe in astrology or not, this book is worth reading to recognize our own individual traits that could be improved if recognized. Linda Goodman makes a huge subject a lot of fun.

I had my first copy of this when I was a young girl in the 70's! I knew then that it was the most accurate description of me/Sagittarius as soon as I read it. It's not full of fluff and random, commercialized. Miss Goodman has very good astrological research in there, but she makes it easy to understand, and tinges it with humor. I've always loved how it explains your sigh, and also shows you how you match up with each zodiac sign as far as love goes, for men and women. My beloved, dog-eared copy traveled with me throughout my years growing up and I've always recommended it and shared it with my friends. Eventually it was lost during one of my many moves and life changes. I was so glad to finally see it available for my Kindle! Thanks Amazon. Linda Goodman's Love Signs

I will preface this with two things: 1) I am not a big believer in astrology but I think it is fun to learn about and 2) I bought an old edition from 1992. So far I have read a bit of the introduction, a second about my sign (Libra) and a few pages on love pairings. Pros: I am very pleased with the accuracy and insight I have already gained from this book. It has been very accurate about relationships so far and I think this will be a useful book to have for many years. I also enjoy the style of Goodman's writing. She manages to both not take herself and the reader too seriously (poking a bit of fun at signs here and there) and also take her practice very seriously. She calls out the bad habits of other astrologers and common misconceptions. There's a couple of paragraphs explaining "cusp" signs and how moon signs influence personality. All good things! Cons: She focuses only on heterosexual relationships! :( Each sign section assumes the primary sign is a woman and the partner is a man (which means that if you are a man and your partner is a woman you can look up the reverse in your partner's sign section). I would like to know if there really is a big difference when the partners are both women or both men (or nonbinary). Does gender matter that much, really? I do appreciate the analysis of masculine and feminine qualities, but it's all a bit stereotypical. Again this is an old copy (1992), so it's possible that the language has changed in newer additions. It would be great if someone else could comment on that! tl;dr This book is worth purchasing even if you aren't a big astrology believer and can get over the gender binary stuff.

This is an interesting book about relationships - mainly men and women together - using astrology - the month and date one was born - to illustrate either compatibility or incompatibility. It’s interesting but one shouldn’t cast in stone a relationship based on astrology, but it is helpful to read about the traits of certain signs, and whether they will work in a male/female relationship.

I simply love Linda Goodman; she is my favorite astrologer... I would recommend this book to anyone, and every time I am interested in the potential of a new relationship, I turn to this book; it has been in my family quite a while, and several of my family members have their own copy. I enjoy reading the chapters of this book over and over again. This book covers all the combinations of men and women of each sign in relationships. There are the 2 sections of romantic relationships (for example one part would be on the male virgo dating a female capricorn, and the other part of the same chapter would be the opposite: the male capricorn and female virgo dating relationship) and 1 on a general, not necessarily romantic, relationship between people of those 2 signs. The author writes in a way that makes you never want to put the book down, she is so charming.

A great book. Got it for the third time in my life and brand new for the first time. Do go for it if you believe in astrology and numerology. A great read. Also try other books by the same author. She is one of the best ever. A real five starer.

Un elenco di luoghi comuni fuorvianti. Deludente. Ripetitivo per giustificare l'eccessivo numero di pagine. Giusto buono per rinfrescare la lingua inglese.

Fascinating book whose accuracy cannot be ignored. Reading about the compatibility between the 12 different signs is very interesting (look up, as well as your other half, past lovers, and your friends, mum and dad, etc). Written in a poetic, engaging style that's always easy to follow, Linda makes some amazing insights.

NYタイムズ誌上等で活躍なさった占星術家、メアリー・アリス・ケメリMary Alice Kemeryあるいはリンダ・グッドマンLinda Goodman （1925-1995）に拠るポピュラー本、太陽サイン12（女性）×12（男性） =144通りの女男関係をクック・ブック式にまとめたもの。 1978年刊だが、執筆は1970年冬からで、ハリウッド、ホテル内の同じスイ ート部屋で綴られたという。尚邦訳版も存在する。 著者は生前、出生時間等データを公になさらなかったそうであるが、データ蒐集家 のフランク・クリフォードFrank C.Cliffordに拠るそれは存在すると いう。 レヴュアーいわく、ホロスコープ・リーディングで使用する10天体のうちのひと つである、太陽サイン同士の組み合わせという意味では、"Sun-Sign Ast- rology"の域の書である、ともいえるのであるが、詩人でもあったという著者 の文章は読んでいて心地のけして宜しからぬものではない−そして占星術家とか詩人 とか以前に、約900頁に亘り、relationshipを語るだけのなにか、資 質等を備えておられる感もある方−とは念の為、申し上げておく。 クック・ブック式なので、拾い読み用としてだけでも擁していてもわるくないであ ろう。

I`ve been interested in Astrology since my teenage years but let me tell you that this book is THE one for anyone wanting to get to know and understand themselves and others with whom they are in contact with on a regular basis. Linda is a wonderful and funny story-teller, you will smile I guarantee you. This book is like a bible, a book to go back to every time I am not quite getting what the other person I am dealing with is coming from. Perfect to help each and every one of us better communicate with all signs, and wonderful for couples or even closed friends to focus more on their positive traits than the not so good ones. No one is perfect and no signs are bad, period. If I could have done so, I would have given this book a 10 stars. Thank you Linda Goodman - you are a gift from Heaven!
