This book is so right on it is scary. I brought this into work and people made copies of the pages, because they couldn't believe how true the profiles were. MacNaughton gives a detailed view by sign, by decan of your personality the good, bad and ugly. Also, touching on your challeges as a sign and how to overcome. Great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and very informative for just a Sun Sign book, August 8, 2004

This review is from: Robin MacNaughton's Sun Sign Personality Guide: A Complete Love and Compatibility Guide for Every Sign in the Zodiac (Paperback)

Basicly, this book is for entertainment purposes more than anything. It breifly discusses what cusps are and what the planets and zodiac houses mean, but there is no mention of rising signs and even though birth charts are mentioned, there are no charts or information about caculating your birth chart. In other words, this is one of those strictly sun sign books.

But with that being said, it's quite a good one at that. It doesn't just give you a small summarization of your sign, you get analysis of the favorable and unfavorable qualities of both a man AND a woman of a particular sign. Most books simply group everyone under their sun sign and ask us to assume that it applies to everyone. Each sign is even split up into 3 decans where you can get an even more specific summary of your charactoristics( Decans refer to different ruling planets that influence a sun sign personality depending on exactly what part of the month they were born. i.e: For Capricorn, The Saturn decan refers to people born between 12/22-1/1, The Venus decan for those born between 1/2 and 1/11, and the Mercury decan for those born between 1/12 and 1/20 ).

This was my first astrology book and even now, I come back to this one. I'm still quite taken aback at the accuracy of the text, even knowing that this book was copywritten originally in 1979 and has no mention of the rising sign. It's so fun to read about other things for each sign, such as love, marriage, health, friends, and even home( where it gives you decorating pointers on which type of decorating scheme would best suit your sign ).

And yes,there's also the compatibilty guide, which I find to be right on the money in a most uncanny way. Again, the author stresses the differences bewtween a man and a woman and offers comatibilty for not just Gemini and Taurus, but A Taurus man with a Gemini woman, or a Taurus woman with a Gemini man. The book also offers all the other interesting little facts and details that you enjoy in an astrology book such as famous people born under the sign, the sign's element, flower, gemstone, day, archangel, magical number, mode, qualities, primal desire, and planteary priciple.

It's not comprehensive for the serious astrologer, but for novices looking for a little fun, yet accurate insight about themselves and their partner, this book will be a great investment for next to nothing in price. To get more out of it, I suggest finding out your rising sign by getting your birth chart calculated for free on www.astro.com so that you can also read the info on whatever your rising sign is too, since your sun sign is supposed to reflect who you are inside, while your rising sign describes the type of person you convey and how you are perceived by others.
