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.

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.

(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.

I really like this book and I get a lot of use out of it. Everyone I have looked up in it has been pegged to a "T". The format is extremely user-friendly and the information on each Star-date is extensive and informational without being too wordy. I not only will recommend it but already have. It is a very large book and looks rather intimidating at first, but it does not take long to figure out how to navigate it and find all sorts of information. It is a great tool for doing my readings, and it is also fun to look up friends!

This book is an invaluable resource when learning to relate with people. I have owned this for over 3 years now & can honestly say that I have yet to see it be wrong. I frequently have my friends read their & they are typically shocked at how dead on it is. Provides insight into aspects of personality that may have been overlooked or undershadowed.

I highly reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in astrology.

I bought this book several years ago and still consult it from time to time. It has personality profiles for every birthday of the year and is an easy read with a lot of information. That being said, I don't find it nearly as accurate or fascinating as the "Secret Language of..." series. The "Secret Language of Birthdays" is set up on the same premise: astrological/personality profiles for every day of the year, but it is so much more accurate and with less information. This book is a bit wordy, but still a good read and worth adding to a collection. Please don't leave out the Secret Language series, though... if you're a true astrology fan you would be missing out if you don't have this trilogy of books.

This book is the best book on birthday traits I have ever read, far more accurate than the Language of Birthdays (though that book isn't bad). I couldn't believe how on point it was about everyone, and I do mean everyone, I showed it to. I always look up the b-days of people after I've gotten to know them, just to see how accurate it is, and it has not been wrong so far. Only negative is that it's not always right about the love & relationships/fatal attractions/soul mates, etc. Still, it's a book worth every penny.

Every single person I have looked up in this book has been to a T to their personality, the positives, negatives and everything, Give or take a trait or two, so far this has been well worth the money! I LOVE this book, it's amazing. Anyone you want to know, just get their Birth Date and look them up, it's very VERY accurate that it's almsot scary! It hit me to a T. I'm still trying to understand abit of it, but I'm older now and I've had this for years, it's been very handy and fun!

I HIGHLY recommend this book, two pages for each day of the year it's amazing!

I've owned this book for several years now, including many other astrological books, and I must admit that this is the first book that I (and my friends and family members) turn to! I bring this book with me everywhere. Not only is it a great conversation piece, it captivates everyone, believer or not! Not one person who read this book walked away disappointed! I give this book 5 stars and more!

Excellent book form two great experts and wonderful teachers. Simple yet profound, this book will not leave you disappointed. The fixed stars material is priceless...Enjoy.
