Linda Goodman changed my life.

This book is my second favorite of Linda's. It has such a happy vibe to it. You can tell her heat and soul went into her work. The descriptions are spot on, as well as making me and my boyfriend laugh out loud. A true joy to read.

My Astrology Bible!

I have been into astrology since high school and I fell off it for a while. I placed this book on my wish list and was notified that it was available to I purchased it. This is one of my best book purchases in a long time! Details about the different signs together, and the depths of the good and bad of the relationship were on point. I love the language used in the book, even though and older book, it definitely applies to today. I feel like reading this book has motivated me to live more in the moment and pay more attention to my own behaviors. I was also able to read this with my significant other/best friend, and it made for good conversation between the two of us on our own signs and how we respond to each other. I HIGHLY recommend those who are into astrology to purchase this book!

A personal favorite

This book teaches so much more than the dynamics of relationships. In the same way we learn about ourselves through our interactions with others so can we learn about the sun signs by their relation to the other signs. Also, personal perception affects much of horoscope interpretation and Linda Goodman's Love Signs accounts for this in a way more books don't; indeed, the book transforms it to the readers' advantage.

Guaranteed to be kept by your Bedside!

Linda Goodman's Love Signs has been a classic in the field for decades, and for very good reason. Her material is very helpful in guiding you through the maze of relationships and relationship building. Reading about the different signs and their compatibilities can help you not only when you have fallen in love or met someone "interesting", but it can also help when you are having problems or if you are trying to formulate what we know in the metaphysical field as a "wish list". When you learn more about the different signs and their capabilities and drawbacks in love, you will be able to refine your own taste and expectations. If you are a beginner at love, you may not even realize that there are as many different ways to court and express love as there are signs (12). Do you know what you are looking for? Maybe there's something you want that you didn't even dare dream of. Look in this book ... you may find it in one of the signs. I recommend ordering this book today and keeping it by your bedside! (There is also no better way to learn beginning astrology as with Linda Goodman.)

Wonderful

This book is wonderful if you are looking for the deeper implications of relations between different signs. Instead of just "this will work, that won't work" standard one would get from any other work, this goes beneath the surface. The thoroughness is what impressed me the most, as well as looking at relationships from both sexes' point of view. Quite informative and expertly written.

Tremendously Helpful, Spiritual and Humorous

Linda Goodman was a very eccentric woman, but very loving and humane. And she was a fantastic writer who could write as if she was your best friend and somehow knew you intimately. This book is meant to show people how the different zodiac signs relate to each other. Linda chose to use the Sun sign influence because it's the most prominent one in a person's birth chart. But Linda stresses that it's very important to know a person's whole birthchart, especially the Moon, Venus and Mars placements. For example, Mars has much to do with a person's sexual nature. A Taurus person with Mars in Scorpio will be much more sexual and less inclined toward cerebral pursuits than a Taurean with Mars in Aquarius. I feel that Linda's spiritual perspective is what makes her books very interesting. She puts astrology into its proper spiritual perspective as nobody else has ever been able to do. Also, Linda stressed that anybody can love anybody else, no matter what their Sun sign is. However, Earth signs will definitely get along better with fellow Earth signs than with Fire signs, for example, and Linda explains things like this real well. The book should be used as a guide for tolerance and understanding of others. It should not guide whether or not you dump someone. Maybe you're an Aries person and the other is a Cancer. A probable no-go? But if the Cancer person has many planets in Gemini and Leo, they could be your soul mate. As Linda wrote, learn the other person's entire birth chart. This stuff should be taught in school.

In-depth, accurate, and well-written.

This book is not just a beautiful book on astrology. It is a beautiful book. Goodman analyzes every astrological combination with love and care. She doesn't feel that a relationship will/will not work. She plays more like romance therapist, coaching each sign to work through and appreciate the other's ideosyncrasies. She explains why we're attracted to our opposites as naturally as those who seem to be cut from the same cloth as ourselves. After dozens of cookie-cutter horoscopes, Goodman stands out as the only rational, informed astrologer. Whenever someone can't understand why I believe in Astrology, I let them borrow Love Signs. It will make a believer out of anyone.
