The Secret Language of Destiny addresses the question we all ask at some point during the course of our lives: "What is the purpose of my life?" It identifies, based on birthdate, what, on a soul level, someone came into this lifetime to achieve-in other words, their karmic signature.

Why push a rock uphill when you can discover your particular karmic path and follow it straight to the top? Knowing which way to turn just became easier with The Secret Language of Destiny, cosmologist Gary Goldschneider's latest addition to the Secret Language series (The Secret Language of Birthdays, The Secret Language of Relationships). This weighty compendium of wisdom delights with its handsome design by Joost Elffers, and provides hours of entertainment as you peruse the 1,300 photos and birthdays of VIPs. A database of 7,500 famous folks was analyzed to produce the karmic path descriptions, and gifts, goals, and lessons for each of the 48 paths are clearly illuminated, as are the pitfalls to avoid. Up front are 52 astrological descriptions of personality characteristics for the week of birth. The Secret Language of Destiny is immensely useful and fun for the whole family. --P. Randall Cohan

Very good, but best used as a coffee-table book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Secret Language of Destiny (Hardcover)
There's quite a few negative reviews of this book on here that say "Don't buy this book because only 8-10 pages will actually pertain to you in particular." While this is true, I think this criticism is a bit narrow-minded. That's like saying a dictionary sucks because it "defines all these other words that you'll never ever have to look up in your entire life."Part of the appeal of this book is that its information applies to everyone. If you want a book that only talks about you and your life, I'd suggest buying something else that only deals with your zodiac sign. The Secret Language of Destiny is meant more as a coffe-table book, something used to spark discussion between you and some friends. It's really fun to say to somebody, "Hey, here's what this book says about your destiny. Does any of this apply to your life?" Most of the time the karmic paths (which are base on birth date and year) are eerily accurate. I wouldn't say they're constantly dead-on, but I think that for most people there'll be enough similarities listed to at least get them thinking. A good pick-up if you get a kick out of seeing if the personalities of your friends match up with the personality profiles of their zodiac signs.

All you ever have to know about your destiny!,
This review is from: The Secret Language of Destiny (Hardcover)
This book drew me to it immediately since I have taken such intense interest in the previous books written by these authors. Each section of this book is broken down according to your date of birth (probably according to numerology). Each different section describes what "way" you are headed to; what direction your life is in and what challenges (external and internal) you must face. Then, each birthweek within those sections explains how your "way" works with your astrological decanate. As soon as you start to read about your main spiritual and/or mental goal in life, all the other details described hauntingly fall correctly into place. This book will help you to focus on your true path in life and key you into your personal attributes that work in your favor or are detrimental to your happiness. It has made me much more positive about where I am headed and allowed me to take pride in my misgivings and learn to deal with them without losing site of who I am supposed to be. A definite yes for anyone who needs a little boost in his/her positivity. I LOVE IT!

ASTONISHINGLY ACCURATE.,
This review is from: The Secret Language of Destiny (Hardcover)
My wife and I were AMAZED at the truths found in this book. For instance, I am a "Sagittarius II". Original, eccentric, kooky and eclectic. For years, in my youth, I sought acceptance by being a "people pleaser" type: I wanted to be accepted by "trying too hard". When I forgot about success & popularity (as the book states) in my late twenties, it suddenly found me, as if by magic! On a lighter note, because I am definitely an off-the-wall personality, I found life is much easier once I accepted this fact and by surrounding myself with friends who encourage/appreciate my zany/whacko way of seeing things. By letting go of our ego, our garden of positive thoughts, i.e. our REAL SELVES come into fruitation. Because we are all given particular gifts and idiosyncrasies, the book guides us all according to our own particular character traits! A bravura work. I agree with another reviewer in that these guys really ARE onto something!
