5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book to share with friends about their birthdays, November 3, 1999
This review is from: The Power of Birthdays, Stars & Numbers: The Complete Personology Reference Guide (Paperback)
I found this book fascinating and fun to read. It reawakened my long time interest in astrology and my belief that the planets do affect our lives. If you want to learn about yourself and people you know then read this book. I particularly liked the sections on the compatible dates and the secret self which I found very revealing. The astrology and numerolgy section are also full of easy to read facts. This is my personality reference book now and I use it all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Better than all the rest of them out there ..., June 18, 2003
This review is from: The Power of Birthdays, Stars & Numbers: The Complete Personology Reference Guide (Paperback)
I think this book is probably a lesser known version of the big hardcover one called "The Secret Language of Birthdays: Personology Profiles for Each Day of the Year".
When I first discovered these book that was the one I read at the book store, but one day I went back and read this one that was right next to it for my birthday and compared the content, and this book was by far superior.
It is an exceptional book that I have gotten rather hooked on, now anyone that I just meet and get to know their birthdays I go and read up about them.
It used to be I didn't really believe in astrology but this one on your birth date I have found to be very accurate.
This book divides your astrology into several different sections i.e. your love, your career, numbers, advice and more. It is so indepth and in plain language and not astrology jargon, that you will find it hard not to look up everyone that you know and their birthdays.
By the way, the price is a lot higher than this if you plan on purchasing at a book store. Amazon, once again, has the best deal on this book and they ship it to you for free.

Great book! (1999 review) --> More amazed than ever before! (2009 update), November 3, 1999
This review is from: The Power of Birthdays, Stars & Numbers: The Complete Personology Reference Guide (Paperback)
(1999 review)
I've got the popular book "secret language of b-days" and I think this book is equally great. Both are excellent in my opinion. This book is a little different and more insightful in some ways. It tells about your possible work and vocation and even goes as far as possible dates of birth of soul mates, beneficial relationships, love and friendship relationships etc... overall, this book is worth buying
(2009 update/addendum)
Ten years later, having had many more significant relationships and having shared this book with friends along the way, I have to say, this book amazes me mainly in the 'Your Special Someone' dates which I referred to in my earlier 1999 review. For me & two of my close friends, these dates are chillingly accurate. I seriously don't know how authors Crawford & Sullivan did it, but to us three, these dates have been mind-blowing.
My friend Sandy had a hard time forgetting her so-called soul-mate. It took her about 3-4 years to get over him and move on. Their time together, to her, was simply magical. Turns out, his birthday was listed as one of her fatal attractions.
My best friend Michelle was curious about one of her ex-boyfriends (everything from their meeting to their courtship to their relationship strongly suggested they had a strong cosmic connection). When she looked at her 'your special someone' dates, she found that he indeed was her soul-mate & on top of that, she was his! Michelle had also found that another guy that she was wildly attracted to, was in fact her fatal attraction. All of the other guys she had dated were not significant enough to her and thus they did not appear in any of her dates.
The book also has been frighteningly accurate (your special someone) for me too. I've had 7 significant relationships and the only one who ever captured my heart, my true love, was also listed as my soul-mate. None of my other significant others were listed, besides one being under the 'beneficial' category. For me and my two good friends, this book does not lie about who is truly our soul-mates, fatal attractions, etc.
Some people, however, find this book to be inaccurate because it does not list the current person they are in a relationship with as love/friendship, fatal attraction or soul-mate. Truth is, most people we have relationships with AREN'T truly significant enough to qualify. I've had 7 relationships, but until I met my true love, never truly knew what a soul-mate was.
Unless you've experienced unmistakable sign after sign that you are supposed to be with this person, an uncanny string of events that led you to notice this person, then be introduced/get to know this person, an indescribable connection to the person that feels cosmic, you will probably not find any of your significant others listed as your soul-mates! A soul-mate is so much more than the best love of your life, or the person you've been with the longest. Those qualifiers have nothing to do with the true essence of being soul-mates, in my humble opinion.
In conclusion, 10 years after my first review, I've found that in retrospect that for me and my two friends, those truly significant relationships we've had seem to ALWAYS show up in the 'your special someone' section. In no way am I saying that this book is fool-proof or for everyone, but when all is said and done, it seems that for me and my friends, at least, this book continues to amaze with its shocking accuracy.
