This book differs from other astrology books in that the personality descriptions, although present, are secondary. What this book primarily aims to do is to describe the energies that exist at certain times of the year (broken down into weeks) and what they are conducive to, what we can expect, etc. For example, I was born in The Week of Study, and Goldschneider describes, not just the personalities of those born in this week, but the themes and energies of this week itself, how it fits into the cycle of the year, what occurances we may meet with in this week, and what type of activities are optimal for this week.

There is also a section for each week discussing the personality profile for people born in each of the weeks, as well as a section which gives succinct descriptions of the themes of each specific day of the year. If you have ever noticed synchronicities cropping up at certain times of the year, or even on specific days of the year, and want to explore why that may be, then this book is for you; however if you are merely seeking personality profiles, then there are better options available, most notably "The Secret Language of Birthdays," also by Gary Goldschneider.

The same folks who made the fabulous Secret Language of Relationships, Secret Language of Birthdays and Secret Language of Destiny also wrote this book. What a huge difference in quality. This book is difficult to understand ... not straight forward like the other books. I would not recommend this to buy until you have gone to the library to look it over first.

This is a good book to get out at parties or with a small group of friends and see how it relates to each of you. Very enjoyable. A bit more accurate than I want to admit!
