Book Description

March 9, 1999
WHAT DOES YOUR BIRTHDAY SAY ABOUT YOU?

Did you know that you have your own special flower? Gem? Fragrance? Do you know your lucky numbers? The name of your guardian angel? The best day of the week to ask for a raise?

World-renowned psychic Judith Turner does, and she reveals them to you. Combining astrology, psychology, and extrasensory insight, The Hidden World of Birthdays gives you the keys to unlock the power of your personality.

Each person has qualities that are all his or her own, and each day is as special as the person born on it. In The Hidden World of Birthdays you will find information on:

Gems: The jewels and precious stones that will bring you luck, power, and encouragement.

Colors: The hues and shades that give you charm and charisma when you wear them; the colors you should always have somewhere around you; the colors that will enhance your confidence and calm you when you are troubled.

What's Lucky: Discover your lucky numbers, months, day of the week, and days of the month. There's a lucky charm just for you, and you'll find out the most harmonious astrological signs for partnerships and relationships.

Spiritual Guides: Your star, your angel, your guardian angel, and your spiritual stone can be powerful tools in managing your spiritual life.

And there's more, including a very special section for each birthday called "Judith's Insight," which will help you in making the best life choices and shows you not just who you are, but who you are capable of becoming.

Introduction

Who is more important than you? Wouldn't it be interesting to learn important information that could enhance your life, in both large and small ways? Did you know you have a guardian angel? Has anyone explained to you there are different foods that could benefit you? Wouldn't you like to purchase a fragrance that could make others take notice of you? Some types of music should be more relaxing for you than others. You even have your own special flower based on the day you were born. Would you like to know what your lucky numbers are? Which day of the week may be best to ask for a raise? Are you seeking a mate? This book will explain the best bets in selecting a life partner for you. The tiniest things may make a difference, no matter how insignificant they may seem to you. One color may be luckier for you than another, while another color may balance your mood and enhance your environment.

You can use this book to find out all of this information about yourself. Turn to the page with your birthday to learn how to have a happier, more productive life. For example, my birthday is July 27. By reading that page I'd learn that I need Orange in my environment when I feel weak, I look great in Plum, and Rubies will help me overcome disappointment in love. Using this book will help you unlock the keys to your personality, needs, motivations, and dreams. You can also look up the birthdays of friends and loved ones to help you understand them better, too.

You may notice that some information repeats itself over several days. That's because there are often similarities between people born around the same time of year. But each person has qualities that are all his or her own, and each day is as special as the person born on it.

Here is a list of the information you'll find in this book:

Gems: These are jewels and precious stones that the ancients felt could be worn to bring the bearer luck, power, and encouragement. Use them carefully, as they can be powerful tools in managing your spiritual life.

Colors: Many studies have shown that the colors we surround ourselves with can change our moods, so it's vital to select the correct combinations. We each have a color that enhances our confidence and calms us when we are troubled. According to research, there are colors that will actually make you feel better, especially if your home or workplace lacks them.

Apparel Colors: There are hues and shades that are better and luckier for you to wear than others. They may give you more charm and charisma.

Astral Colors: These colors are ones you may be naturally drawn to and that may benefit you throughout your life in many subtle ways. Listed is the one that is certain to help you find your place in the universe.

Trees: Trees have the attributes of strength and power. They are full of life and offer individual meaning to each of us. You may be drawn to put a special tree in your yard or even have a memory of a certain tree when you were young. You may just look at one all the time and find that it is talking to you. See what yours might say. Once you know what tree belongs to you, you might look at and relate to your world differently.

Birds: I bet you never realized how much birds and humans really do have in common. When you read the description of birds in this book, you may find in the characterization of the birds a fascinating resemblance to yourself. You may only then recognize that without a doubt you have an attraction to a particular bird.

Health Scents: Besides finding out what to wear to smell good, you'll want to splash on what might make you feel good. There are scents that are relaxing and have better effects on particular sun signs. You may be naturally drawn to a scent because it relaxes you or you just love its smell. These scents have been selected for you for their mystical traits and ingredients.

What's Lucky: What's more fascinating than knowing what "lucky" numbers, times, days, months, and years are yours, particularly if they were picked out according to the day you were born? Do you have a lucky charm? You can now. Each lucky charm has been chosen by either its number or sign and could prove to be more than a little beneficial for you. Picking a mate isn't easy, and neither is picking a partner. Maybe this advice could help.

Spiritual Stones: These small bits of Mother Earth will guide you on your path over her. Use them in broadening your understanding of yourself or nature.

Judith's Insight: I have been a professional psychic for eighteen years and, after much meditation and thought, have developed my own insights for each day of the year. You may notice that the traits of some days are similar to those that surround them; however, each is unique. You may be able to relate to one or two items right away, but -- as with the other items -- each time you come back to this book you may glimpse a different part of yourself. As the person reading the book changes, the messages will alter and shift. Each insight was written to hold some meaning for you at almost any stage of your life. However, don't expect that everything will make sense right away. For example, careers that may not even interest you today could give you great satisfaction a year or two from now. The insights offer you a peek not just into who you are but who you are capable of becoming. They are crafted to give you encouragement when you may need it. All the listed information is intended to help and guide you in making the right choices for you.

* JUDITH'S INSIGHT *

A determined individual, you do not allow anything to get in your way. You're aggressive when needed, but you like to appear to be the good guy. You can back away from the demands of others; the demands you will put upon yourself are overwhelming.

Family is of key importance, and it is where your loyalty lies. Sometimes you create contradictions in your own life. You build a path on your property for others to cross, only to realize later that your property will become ruined. You are loved by all circles of people, but you need to be cautious with your language. At times your tone may be misunderstood by others.

Look for a career as a comedian, builder, lawyer, or architect. Try to keep in mind that you are creative, inventive, and strong. Look for a working environment that allows you the sense of freedom you desire. A position with growth potential is best for you. Without growth, your desire for work lessens. Be patient. It may take a while to get where you want to go, but once you do, you'll achieve the financial stability and work contentment that you so much need. When all else fails, use that great sense of humor, which is by far your second most appealing trait. Your heart is your first.

With your hands, you're a builder; emotionally, you're the foundation for others. Be cautious of what you carry on those shoulders. On your own, you can be misguided. Learn to protect yourself better. Others find you irresistibly strong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful and a perfect present, March 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hidden World of Birthdays (Paperback)
While my fiancee and I were on vacation in the US, we found this impressive new release in a local bookstore. We're both tremendously amazed how much our birthdays actually say about our personalities. Having been a nonbeliever in astrology all my life, I can certainly say that Turner's "Hidden World..." has changed the way I look at not only myself but also at the ones who are dear to me. Personally, I've found the categories "Harmonious Health and Nutrition" and "Judith's Insight" the most helpful. The latter's detailed characterization of my fiancee was so exact that it was almost scary. We consider the knowledge about our Best Day of the Week and our Lucky Numbers very useful for any kinds of future decisions. "The Birthday Book" will definitely become our favourite birtday-,anniversary- etc. present to our family and friends, not least due to it's easy-to-read style.

1.0 out of 5 stars slipshod effort, December 23, 2006
This review is from: The Hidden World of Birthdays (Paperback)
I received Turner's book "The Hidden World of Birthdays" and Gary Goldschneider's book, "The Secret Langugage of Birthdays" as Christmas presents. I became fascinated with the subject after reading Goldschneider's book years ago in a library, which seemed accurate to me.

I had similar high hopes for Turner's book. I thought it would be an in depth study of astrology and birthdays. Her study is advice that, in my opinion, could be found online or in any book about astrology. The personality profiles she gives for each birthday is general, unhelpful and sometimes stupid. For example, on one birthday she gives the advice, of "Health Scent: Lavender--This scent might lead others to trust you and make you patient." Excuse me, but how can a specific scent lead others to trust you more? Or, on another she gives the Possessions and Desires, "Crocus: You may spend too much time stewing over those who have innocently harmed you." Turner doesn't give an explanation for why each of these flowers, charms, or colors are right for each birthday.

Turner doesn't give any historical background for why certain stones, numbers, etc; would be good for one birthday as opposed to another. Nor does she explain how she develops the numerological numbers for each birthday. Another thing noticeably absent from Turner's book is that she doesn't have any descriptions about each one of the astrological signs or their "element" (i.e. fire, water, earth, air) and how they relate to one another.

In fact, Turner's book was so bad, the person who gave me the gift initially told me to trash it.


One might ask why I'm being so harsh on Turner? It's because I believe she's borrowed the "personology" premise from Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elffers in "The Secret Language of Birthdays" who do a much better job than she does. Each profile is more in depth, and they include names of famous people born on your birthday, as well as meditations, numerological and tarot cards related to your birthday profile, as well as specific explanations of how they developed them. At the beginning of Goldschneider's book there are definitions/personality traits of each specific astrological sign. Each sign is then divided into four groups (which includes the "cusp" group) and with personality traits and advice for each group. For example, Virgo is divided into Virgo I, Virgo II, Virgo III and the Virgo-Libra Cusp. It includes information about colors, plants, foods,composers,etc; attractions, and life path "themes" for each sign and the stage of human life that every sign represents. There's also an astrological chart included and an index to look up famous people and their birthdays. Turner's book has a few of these features, along with angels for each birth date, but no explanatory notes about why they're used for each day.

If you're looking for a great astrological study, there is no comparison: skip Turner's book altogether and go with Goldschneider and Elffers's "The Secret Language of Birthdays."

5.0 out of 5 stars subtle traits about yourself, April 8, 2002
By 
This review is from: The Hidden World of Birthdays (Paperback)
this book contains typical horoscope information. however, there are some fun additional things like finding out the right composer for you and finding out which tree matches your birthdate. judith's remarks are also remarkably accurate. this is a really fun coffee table book or book to use for an icebreaker!!
