4.0 out of 5 stars TALKS ABOUT THE REAL YOU, April 14, 2000
By SHEMECA HARRIS (AUBURN, ALABAMA) - See all my reviews
I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW BLACK SUN SIGNS REVEALED WHO I WAS IN VARIOUS WAYS. WHEN I BEGAN TO READ ABOUT THE PICSES I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN, I BECAME MORE INQUISITIVE AS I SAT THERE LAUGHING IN AMAZEMENT. I SHARED THE BOOK WITH MY MAN AND MY FRIENDS AND THEY WERE SHOCKED TOO. THELMA BALFOUR IS A GREAT AUTHOR AND I PLAN TO READ MORE OF HER BOOKS. THIS BOOK DEFINITELY TALKS ABOUT THE REAL YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent resource for African Americans., August 5, 1999
By A Customer
At last, there is an astrological guide which includes the African American perspective. I have been a follower of astrology for a number of years and have always been frustrated when I have read the mainstream books because they have failed to be inclusive. When describing people that fall under a particular astrological sign, the descriptions are usually descriptive of Caucasians. Also, the names of the individuals in mainstream books that fall under these signs are also always the names of whites. Black Signs is in accurate description of people born under the 12 astrological signs from an African American perspective. It includes cultural phrases,insight, and relevant suggestions. I found myself chuckling softly, nodding my head, and reflecting seriously about the information in the book. I found the descriptions to be extremely accurate about friends, loved ones, colleagues, relatives, and myself. It has given me new insight about my past and present relationships. I will definitely think about this information when I enter new relationships. Thanks, Thelma, for creating this wonderful resource book. I will definitely pass it on to friends.

This book gives us a new twist on an old topic - astrology. The book is very factual but uses hillarious references to everyday African American life.
