Love this book!!! Love Linda goodman in general. She is a great astrologer, and really hits the spot most of the time. The book has general info on signs but goes further by explaining your relationship to other signs. The one flaw in this book, though you can read around it, is that it first gives a brief overview of say cancer pisces, then cancer man, pisces women, and then cancer woman pisces man. The disadvantage to this is when I want to know about same sex relationships, wether they be rom

I love Linda Goodman as an astrologist in general, but this book it great as it shows off so much of her witty sense of humor and cheeky personality. It's a great reference guide for those of us that study astrology as a "hobby" (i.e. secretly obsessed with sun and rising signs and are "the friend" in the circle that can always do "a chart" for someone they just met). She's not quite straightforward in that you wont hear the "don't date a Pisces (which I shou

Maybe it's just me, but I like this book, and I think it likes me, too. But wait - it can't just be me! I used to bring this around with me to classes and such, letting others flip to the pages corresponding to their current relationship-fixation and watching them intensely study whatever "fate" might be written there. In most cases, interested persons were already at least identified with their sun sign, and so you might say that I'm reviewing as and for biased parties, but MAN, Lind

This book was great. I look at this book like a dictionary rather then a book. Linda Goodman is such a talented author because while teaching her readers about the sun signs and how the behave around each other but she uses his words in such a poetic way that just blows the readers away. This book helped me a lot with my relationships in my family. As I was reading this book I realized that Linda loves to use similes, and I love reading similies so this book was just perfect for me. Also Linda m

If Goodman's "Sun Signs" is the Bible of astrology(and it is), then "Love Signs" is The New Testament.
Here, Goodman takes her phenomenal understanding of each sign, and accurately applies it to the intricacies of the way male and female members of each sign interact with every other sign. She's eerily on target with the joys and heartaches that can be expected with every possible astrological match.
With the love and humor that was her style, Goodman shows us that no combin More...

Not what I was looking for, but filled a need for knowledge nonetheless. This book doesn't accurately explain Sun Signs. It does for a general view, yes, but when it comes to people, you really need to make a birth chart for them, interpret each, and then synastry - it's all in the details! On the other hand, I will give credit for being fabulously funny, witty and romantic. It really did fuel my interest in astrology, and bettered my understanding by giving examples of the character of each sig

I have a really old edition of this book, and I use it every time I'm in the process of creating characters for my stories. The character traits for each star sign, and how they interact with each other, are absolutely fascinating and if I need increase the conflict b/w hero and heroine, I can use the star sign traits to assist. I'm a Leo and my partner is Aquarius - opposites on the karmic wheel. Linda's comments on this relationship are spot on. Love Signs is the only writing reference book I'

This truly doesn't belong in the "myths/folklore" bookshelf. However, I don't have any other astrology books & don't plan on buying any more. This book was purchased when I was younger, much more open-minded and getting high just about every day. I never took this stuff seriously, but had fun reading it anyhow. Can't remember the last time I turned to it. At any rate, one of those books I should probably get rid of but haven't yet.
Linda Goodman is certainly entertaining. Fu More...

Do I hear snickering?
A friend bought it for me in high school.
I have to say, though I am an astrology skeptic, there was a time I could meet someone and within a few minutes could accurately announce their Sun Sign.( I did not do it very often, but my accuracy rate was still quite impressive).
Let me tell you. Every man I have every adored has been a Capricorn. My dearest friends are water signs. And according to this book, my parents were a divorce waiting to happen...ka-chin

I was maybe 14 or 15 when I pulled this off my mother's bookshelf. I found the chapter concerning myself and the boy I was in love with: Aquarius-Gemini. It was lovely. It was moving. It was true. It made reference to Peter Pan and The Little Prince, two books that would earn my enduring affection. I've since become skeptical of astrology. Perhaps I fear ridicule or just plain being wrong. Still, it's a significant book in my life. I'll honor the enchantment cast.

This is the weirdest Astrology book I have read. Goodman is very eccentric, she has an annotated bibliography at the end. More like random book list that contains things that have nothing whatsoever to do with Astrology. Was it comprehensive? Not really. It was random in most parts, and the humor was very odd. The book even contains errors, but I think it serves its point, so I can't complain too much.

For anyone who knows me, this can be seen as an unusual choice to have on my shelves. I came across this book while browsing the local chain bookstore, and was struck by the design of the front cover. When I saw the author's name, I knew I had to read it.
Right before I began 5th grade, I read Goodman's first book on astrology--an interesting portrait of late '50s/early '60s gender roles through the lens of astrology--and enjoyed her straightforward, prescriptive prose style so I wa More...

This was my very first book about astrology and I was sold. I like her later stuff less but this pairs every female sign with every male sign and tells a little story of love. Each pairing starts with a little line of poetry. Thank you, Heather Hayes, for bringing this book into my life!

Interesting read, but I still think that popular astrology is missing the element of Qabbalistic astrology that our birthdate indicates our soul tikkun. Other than that, not bad.

It's about astrology. If you like that sort of thing, you'll like this book. Not a "read through" type of book. I especially enjoyed the introduction although I don't adhere to her religious philosophy - I do enjoy her speculations on spirituality.

Helps to get into the head of the partner you can't figure out or how to improve your relationships by learning likes, dislikes, and needs.

Best matching of the signs in relationships I have ever read or known and have studied astrology for over 15 years. I swear by Linda Goodman.

THE go-to book for relationships. Plus she's delves a little into the elements and gives a nice basic intro into how they work together.
