A History of Horoscopic Astrology (2nded.). American Federation of Astrologers. ISBN 9780866904636. Seligso, Marcia (April 7, 1972). "Stars Fell on the Pentagon: Astrology and the Draft". Life.

For further evidence of this misguided notion, see the penultimate paragraph of the Leo Woman/Leo Man section: This book is the same. It's credibility was not helped by the fact that the personal reputation / credibility of the author is quite low (she was quite naive throughout her life evidenced in the way she handled money or signed contracts, started some kind of a cult with her 20 year younger lover, and kept believing that her daughter is not dead after her tragic suicide at a very young age (the last of which is more sad than crazy); but overall the image is of a tragic yet flimsy woman.) However, speaking of the book itself, the writing is all over the place and the author goes into rambling tirades. It has random platitudes and drivel rather than enough actual substance - art of deflection is something astrologers are experts at. Even the substance that was there, I did not find true (at least for the Aquarius - Sagittarius match in terms of personality traits described). To be fair, it does seem like she actually believes this stuff though. a Capricorn child is very serious in his childhood and when his age grows, he becomes more childish. it's a reverse aging process. 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.

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 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 : 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. Crystal Bush, a businesswoman from Ireland, befriended Goodman at the end of her life and obtained the publicity rights to the astrologer's name at her death. Bush then published the book Linda Goodman's Relationship Signs.

Goodman made Cripple Creek, Colorado, her home during the latter part of her life. She first lived in a small Victorian house on Carr Street ("the little crooked house on the crooked little street") and later moved to a newer home on the outskirts of the main town. Both homes still boast her spiritually themed stained-glass windows. The house on Carr Street is now a bed and breakfast. She died in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on October 21, 1995, at the age of 70, from complications of diabetes.

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. 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.

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. 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. 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. Embark on your cosmic path to self-discovery with this comprehensive guide to the twelve signs of the zodiac. well you see this book introduced me to spirituality virtually,slowly I learnt to know the facts behind fiction and lastly the result of all the churning in my mind is the conclusion-

Linda Goodman's books also reference what she referred to as the "disappearance" of her eldest daughter, 18-year old Sarah "Sally" Snyder, in the 1970s, and the mystery around her reported death. Linda's husband Sam Goodman had identified the body at the New York morgue, and had the body cremated, but recanted the identification a few days later. Linda never accepted the official police closure report as a suicide or accidental suicide, and spent much money, and continued to search for Sally for the rest of her own life. Finally, she believed that her daughter was dead but would return by reincarnation. [2] [3] Death [ edit ] 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. She also says some interesting stuff about Taurus and Virgo being ruled by “yet to be discovered planets.” Had she actually studied mythology, which astrology is inseparable from, she’d know these planets were Saturn and Mars. 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 This author really had no idea what she was talking about regarding money and karma. The stuff she said is dangerous for people to believe, point blank. A lot of fear mongering. She says you have to give half your money away to stay prosperous. That is a load of shit, and it’s actually arrogant to “give money away.” What people really need to be doing is paying one another for skills and talents and labors of love. If that were the case, everyone alive would be doing their dream job, and fulfilling their life purpose. You just give someone money, and it’ll be gone in no time. And there is no such thing as karma except for those who believe in it. They are punishing themselves through the universal Law of Attraction.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. Don't forget that Libra is a masculine sign, with a feminine ruler, Venus. No fair allowing one sex to take priority of mention over the other. Everything must be nicely balanced. The sense of poetry and beauty and harmony in Librans extends also to the equality of their relationship. It's clearly not "harmonious" to always name the man first—or place the male's wishes ahead of the female's. Just is just. Male chauvinism is just so...uncoordinated...so unpoetic. Don't you think? (Goodman, 655)
