Star Signs Rocks!, June 29, 2000
This review is from: Linda Goodman's Star Signs (Mass Market Paperback)
American poet "Mary Alice" Goodman, as Linda was known all her life to her friends and family, was certainly a much-needed prophet in our time. Linda found that the most profound method of divination lay not only in astrology, yet in the intersection of astrology, lexigrams, and numerology. She explains this all in detail in this most important book, Star Signs. One does not have to "believe" in anything to buy and read and treasure this book. If you are on a path to enlightenment, as we all are, and you certainly are if you are reading this...no matter the religious denomination, spiritual bent, or magickal background from which you come, this book, as no other ever has nor ever will, will increase your divinatory abilities, and surprise even you, should you be a skeptic. If you are considering buying this book, I assure you that the day will come when you will do so. And Review #4 is accurate when it mentions that anything since Linda's death in October 1995 which is published post-mortem under her name, is NOT her own work. Relationship Signs, and anything published in her name since 1996, is merely a product of a corporation called LGE, and not only a shameless exploitation of her good name, yet also very inaccurate astrology by non-astrologers, and so much New Age hooey of which Linda never took part. Avoid it. Buy your pre-1996 Linda Goodman books here at Amazon, or used at places like eBay or your local used bookstore. Linda believed in access to the magic of the Universe by us all. She said that there are shortcuts to enlightenment, no matter what your path. She called these shortcuts...books! I assure you that Linda's books, more than any other books out there, are the shortcuts that will help you realize that enlightenment is indeed a path that we must all walk alone, unique for us all. Linda's books are the truest yellow-brick road I have ever found, and Star Signs is indeed a steppingstone to understanding yourself, others, and the messages that we don't always see...without a little help from a poet and a prophet.

My First Spiritual Book, May 31, 2002
This review is from: Linda Goodman's Star Signs (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my first book that I read on spirituality many years ago. I remember it clearly and it makes me happy just thinking about it. I still remember being a struggling/starving college student and reading the section on money. How money was an energy...and that if you told yourself you were poor, you would be poor. And it struck me very deeply, because I always told myself...I'm just a poor college kid. But it all changed after reading this book....my path had begun. This book set the ground work of my future life and the person that I would become. The foundation of all my ideals and perspectives are still in this book. Even though this book is getting a little old, and Linda Goodman herself has passed on (or maybe not?)...this book still holds true and is worth the money and time to read it. I would suggest this book to anyone, it holds keys to unkown doors!

NOT an Astrology Book!!, April 23, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Linda Goodman's Star Signs (Mass Market Paperback)
Unlike Linda Goodman's SUN SIGNS or LOVE SIGNS, this book, STAR SIGNS is NOT an Astrology Book or anything like the other two books at all. You do not look up people and read about their personality traits or compatibility with other people, this is just a type of philosophy book you read from front to back. Basically, think of it as a book the author just wanted to write about her philosophy of life. (in a "new age" sense) Not to say this isn't an enjoyable book. I enjoyed reading it. But I did buy it under the impression it was going to be an Astrology book like her others. If you flip through it at a store, you would see that right away, but for those buying books online from Amazon, I just wanted to make sure this was mentioned so there is no surprise and you know what it is you are buying. In fact, at the begining she writes: "The intention of this book is to reveal, among several other metaphysical codes, a key to wisdom previously comprehended by only a few initiate Masters, a secret hidden for centuries in plain sight and unsuspected by the mundane intellect, long blinded to the simplicity of truth." For those that have other Linda Goodman books, and find her the most accurate of all the authors writing books on Astrology, like I do, it is very interesting to read this book. But for those that are looking for books on Astrology, this is not the book you might think it is since the title so closely fits the format of her Astrology books. The best book of all time to have on Astrology, is her book SUN SIGNS. LOVE SIGNS is a great companion book (volume two) as it allows you to look up two SUN SIGNS and see how compatible those two people would be in a love relationship. STAR SIGNS is a great "New Age" book with some very interesting philosophies on how one should try and live life to get better results from life.
