Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

One of the best astrology books to appear recently, this work is exceptional in its in-depth character analysis of each sign. The cosmic gifts, relationship trends, financial tendencies, and career tendencies associated with each sign are all described in detail. The mythology of each sign is included as well, nicely rounding out the book. While most astrology books concentrate on the strengths of the various signs, this book also delves into their negative aspects so that one can really see how to use the information in very practical terms. It's great for helping to deal with people who don't share the same outlook on life as you do. Highly recommended.DMarija Sanderling, Wells, ME

This review is from: Planets and Possibilities: Explore the World of the Zodiac Beyond Just Your Sign (Hardcover)

After years of delightful enjoyment regularly following astrologyzone.com I was expecting a lot more from this book. The writing here is eloquent (as expected), but the subject matter is really at a very basic level. Although this would be a wonderful primer for anyone just graduating from reading their daily horoscope in the newspaper comics section, anyone with even slightly more knowledge about astrology will be bored to tears. This material has all been covered before in the many very good and very bad books already out there. Haven't we all already read Linda Goodman's Sun Signs??? I am sure that regular (or even new) readers of Miller's website will agree that her yearly and monthly updates there are far more informative than anything in this book. It would have been great to see a book that came from her offering the same level of complexity and nuance that makes her take on astrology at Astrology Zone so readable and addictive. Maybe in the next book?

This review is from: Planets and Possibilities: Explore the World of the Zodiac Beyond Just Your Sign (Paperback)

Susan Miller has a devoted fan. I have been so excited to turn each page and discover the history and advances this ancient science has given us. The writing is clear and interesting. The introduction brings the reader to a more personal level with the author. I felt like I was sitting with her and she was sharing information with me; a new friend. I highly recommend this book to anyone searching for a book to gain a clearer understanding of Astrology and how it pertains to you.
