Astrology for Lovers [Paperback]

Liz Greene (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1990

A comprehensive astrological guide to life, relationships and lovers, Astrology for Lovers is a seminal guide to learning how to interpret the subtle and not-so subtle attributes of both your own and your partner's astrological sign in order to create a better understanding of one another.

Each person has a unique footprint in the map of the cosmos, and Astrology for Lovers guides the reader through each of the Sun signs in an enlightening and comprehensive manner. Each sign is given a lengthy description of its characteristics, as well its creation myth. Greene then expands upon the sign's shadowy side, and finally explicates the fine points of the individual sign as a lover. Astrology for Lovers will teach readers not only critical aspects of their own motivations, but also provide invaluable insight into the inner workings of their lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Liz Greene Will Amaze Even The Extreme Skeptic, October 8, 2000

By 

Liz Bustamante (Miami, Fl) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Astrology for Lovers (Paperback)

Liz Greene will blow you away. Somehow she has eerily succeeded in describing deeply personal truths to each and every sign. This is no vague fluff in newspapers and fortune cookies. I also have another book by Greene that is out of print entitled "Star Signs For Lovers" and I guard it carefully because anytime anyone reads even a few sentences they are shocked at the accuracy of the description of their personalities and tendencies both secret and expressed in relationships. Just don't tell your love about it unless you think they are ready to understand your shadow. Greene somehow intelligently puts into words what every individual already knows and didnt really understand about themselves. As you read this book, you will find yourself stopping and exclaiming "that is so true!". Ive seen it happen with all my friends, and I enjoy sharing their personal discoveries, especially the skeptics whose set beliefs are no match for Liz Greene. I recommend this book to EVERYONE, and NO! You cant borrow it!. This book is so well written with such simple and personal intelligence, and so many insights, I want to know more about its mysterious author. What is her sign? Liz Greene is the real thing, some kind of cosmic prohpet. I guarentee she will freak you out.

5.0 out of 5 stars astrology for the intelligent, September 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Astrology for Lovers (Paperback)

Liz Greene's explanations of sun sign characteristics are precise and unsentimental yet descriptive. Don't be put off by the title. Though the focus of the book is the effect of astrology in romantic relationships, I often refer to her book for help in understanding the personalities and motivations of many other people around me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Liz Greene does it again, July 28, 2004

By

This review is from: Astrology for Lovers (Paperback)

This is the second astrological book I ever owned. (I now have a collection of around 24 books).

The best thing about this book is actually the beginning and ending of each chapter and not the definition of each sun signs itself imho. Liz Greene puts in a lot of passion in writing her ideas and thoughts about astrology and for that I salute her. She gave me the impression she's really writing astrology for the sake of the cosmos and not for the sake of the dollar signs behind astology.

For most of the star signs, she gave pretty accurate (if not somewhat generic) information. But I find all her star signs to be too 'good'. She pointed out that 'We simply can't like everybody'. But her books makes it such that 'We simplcy can't dislike everybody'. She make everyone nice and kind and generic.

Personally, I feel that Greene should have an influence of Libra in her, she makes her book decorative, beautiful and balanced. If I ever want to feel good about myself or people around me, I would definitely turn to Greene's book.

I find this book to be appropriate for anyone who is starting out in astrology, it's quite a delight to read and does contain a lot of information. With this book, you would learn about the general ideas of Earth, Fire, Air and Water signs. This is hardly emphasised in many other books. Since this book is not too pricy, I recommend it to anyone who is interested in astrology, however, I won't recommend it if you are already self-professed professionals in astrology.
