As someone who finds astrology fascinating, I am deeply enamored with personology. I always discover new insights about myself and the way I interact with others.
The book is incredibly user-friendly. It starts with the individual profiles. It breaks each of the twelve zodiac signs into the individual weeks. Unlike other books, it devotes just as much time to those born on a cusp as to the other week-long periods.
I find the subdivision aspect of personology more accurate than standard astrology....more

A fun 'little' book that describes your relationship (working, romantic, familial, etc.) with another person based on your birthdays. I say 'little' because it's a veritable textbook and didn't even fit on the regular shelf at the library. Seriously, the size of the book is such that you will be embarrassed to ask for it aloud at the library, or be seen with the wheelbarrow necessary to cart it from the nonfiction section to the front desk. (Is it odd to anyone else that astrology books are shel...more
Perhaps the most accurate summary of the many different types of personalities in relationship matchups, each astrological sign is broken down in 3 parts: each week represents a division of the sign (i.e. aries I, aries II, and aries III) and each week in between the transition to the next sign represents a cusp (i.e. the aries-taurus cusp). Through matching the weeks on the grid, you can compare the relationship theme between 2 individual signs in comparison with each other (i.e. a taurus II an...more
I find myself reaching for this every time I meet someone new. This book is truly one of the best investments that I have ever made. It never gets old, its like the words on the pages change every time you meet a new person. Trust me once you've made an acquaintance with someone you've never meet before you'll be racing home to read what this book has to say about your guys compatibility. Its not just for lovers but for the relationships you have with your friends, and family. A must read for th...more

"This is one of three major astrological books I really admire assemblied by Gary Goldschneider with the help of many other people who know astrology. What I like about this book is that he really takes the time to seperate the relationships not by sign to sign but by decan to decan. In Astrology, each sign is devided into five different weeks which are three decans and two cusps. The two cusps are usually swing weeks which merge qualities of the previous sign along with qualities of the latter...more
This is a perfect housewarming gift. I've had it in my living room for years and anyone of any age enjoys looking up their birthday with someone else's and reading about how they relate to each other. Find out who is best/worst for you in love, marriage, work, friendship. I've found it to be surprisingly accurate but not all the time. You can take it seriously or just see it as a fun parlor game.
I also own the The Secret Language of Birthdays: Personology Profiles for Each Day of the Year this one goes into how compatible your relationships are. Both are fun to read.
Offers insights into your personal characteristics based on your zodiac sign/birthday. Then you can compare your compatibility with those of others based on their birthday. Very cute and lots of fun, it was right on about me and my husband. I wouldn't honestly take it to seriously though.
The lovely folk singer Rose Polenzani introduced me to this book by mentioning it at a concert she was giving in Syracuse back during my undergrad days. She revealed during said concert that according to this book she is born in the Week of the Loner, and then said her birthday is March 7th. Which, you should know, is just two days before my birthday. Which means...that's right folks, I am also a lone-star. Anyway, it was fate - or in the stars, or what have you - for me to connect with this boo...more
5 stars for being surprisingly accurate; usually astrology isn't accurate in regards to relationships or compatibility, since humans are just too complex and unique.
I recommend adding this book to your own personal library as a reference guide. Very illuminating & helps translates subconscious thoughts into repurposed guides.
I found this book hidden in my house. I'm confident that it was put in my way in some attempt to ruin my life. It's working.
This book is SO much FUN!! Find out who you are compatible with & on what level based on your astrological sign!
i've been reading this for over 10 years. the story changes every time you meet someone.
I read this every time I meet someone new and know their birthday
Dead on target on personality types/traits!
Wow this book is surprisingly so accurate!
As good as its older sibling!
The book did my head in..
my bible. serously.
This book is soooo cool!!

oh gawd, how did i ever live WITHOUT this book? from the moment i plunked my $32 down on the counter for this behemoth, we were inseparable.
i have amazed friends and acquaintances alike with its astoundingly accurate insights into personalities and their perfect (and not so perfect) astrological matches.
it's not your crunchy granola hocus pocus anymore, honey: this book will change the way you think about your birthday. and everyone else's.

Maybe you believe in Astrology, with this book you won't have too. These authors have a clear gift in hearing and breaking down the science that God has mapped out for us regarding our personalities.
The book is plaid out in plain text, find your birthday and read. YOU WILL BE AMAZED, it's that on point.

This is an astrology book where you can look up your relationship to the people in your life based on each other's birth week...to say I've fully read it is a bit much, but it's a fun reference book for a rainy day (or when you meet someone new and exciting!).
This note encompasses all of the astrology books shelved here.
A small collection of the esoterica inherited from my parents. I don't use them, but they may or may not have, but defintely were, consulted on all life decisions growing up. Good times.

The book is divided up by week of the year. You match up the week you were born to the week of your partner and see how compatible you are. More fun than accurate, but there are some gems of wisdom buried within the fortune cookie philosophy.
Fun, but also has good insight to relationships. I bought it with little expectation and was pleasantly surprised at how accurate it was.
Best and most accurate astrology book on relationship compatability I have read. Not only love relationships....work and family as well.
This book is my Bible...what a fabulous astrological guide to sun signs...this book breaks it down! it is fun, and enlightening.
I've had this book for many years and still use it to check compatability with friends, roommates, co-workers, lovers, etc.
