Nothing Compares!!!

Well, what can I say?!?!?! After reading this book 1 time, you will never be able to doubt or deny any of its spiritual concepts. Rosemary does a wonderful job of explaining the question we've all asked since birth "Where do I come from?" Even if you don't understand the events that led to your earthly existence; you're here!!! And boy does Rosemary make it easy to understand why it is we do the things we do. With this book, I've been able to identify all of my close friends and relatives' soul sources. After understanding and grasping the concept that each of us are placed in this physical realm with our own personlaity traits and emotions from individual energy sources, my relationships with others have done 360 degree turn-arounds! Try it for yourself. The minute your eyes stroll across the simply -written pages explaining personal, underlying make-up; Rosemary's words will capture all of your attention leaving you yearning for more information on (who else).....you!

Great Read!

Soul Signs was an inspiring book. I enjoy reading works from this author, and her writing inspires me every time I enjoy one of her books. The stories are heartwarming and her experiences are related in a way that everyone can understand. The best thing is that it is a 'hopeful' book.

Great

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. It really shed some light on myself as well as others in my life. This book is well worth it.

Your eternal soul has its own sign

At your moment of birth, your body was imprinted with astrological information. Perhaps the Sun was in Scorpio, the Moon in Pisces, Mercury in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn, Leo Rising. All of these positions influence who you are in this life. But your body dies and is left behind when your immortal soul proceeds to its next destination. The fact that you are a Scorpio in this life doesn't mean that your eternal soul is Scorpio. We are mixtures. You may be a male Scorpio in this life, with a female soul of a different sign. Your soul is the true, eternal you. Your date of birth doesn't reveal what your soul's sign is. By understanding yourself you can recognize your soul sign in this book. Where did the author get her information? She is a medium. Her information came from a spirit who communicates with her. I realize that's a lot to swallow. I once had a session with a medium, and my impression was that the person was not what he claimed to be. I believe he was a performer, not a medium. As for Rosemary Altea, I'm impressed with this book and I hope she is what she claims to be. There are similarities between her soul signs and the astrological signs. The four elements are the same - fire, earth, air and water. Instead of the three "types" (cardinal, fixed, mutable) this book has three divisions called Introvert (subjective), Central (balanced), and Extravert (objective). If the three divisions can be correlated to each other, then it appears to me that the subjective soul signs would be the cardinal astrology signs, because the quality of being subjective is most similar to the meaning of the cardinal signs. The balanced soul signs seem most certainly to be the mutables, adjusting to left or right as a mutable sign would. The objective soul signs would be the fixed signs. We would then have the following correlations between astrology signs and soul signs. Aries is the Retrospective Soul. Taurus is the Warrior Soul. Gemini is the Prophet. Cancer is the Seeker. Leo is the Bright Star (an obvious choice anyway). Virgo is the Visionary. Libra is the Traveler. Scorpio is the Old Soul (another obvious choice). Sagittarius is the Dreaming Soul. Capricorn is the Hunter. Aquarius is the Newborn. Pisces is the Peacemaker (another slam dunk). It is commonly thought that Aquarius is a water sign because it is the water bearer. The Newborn is one of the air signs in this book. But Aquarius is in fact an air sign. Our 12 signs are peculiar to this Earth. They are related to the soul signs but are not identical. Perhaps the 12 signs would manifest themselves somewhat differently elsewhere in the universe. To use this book you must first understand the four elements and determine which your soul belongs to. In short, if you have a passionate, self centered, blazing energy, you are fire. If you are a planner, a strategizer, a do-er, a controller, a builder, you are earth. If you are more passive and calm, you are

Quite Interesting!

I found this book to be REALLY interesting - and quite insightful. Basically, Rosemary helps the reader determine their own "soul sign", as well as the "soul signs" of others, through a categorization based on the elements (i.e. fire, water, air, etc...). This info. can then be used to help the reader understand why they get along so well with some people and not others, and the best "type" of person for you - in terms of friendships and relationships. After getting this book, I went ahead and figured out the "soul signs" of those close to me - and found the info. to be on target. The insights I gained helped me to understand why I am able to get along so well with some of these people, and yet feel like pulling my hair out with others. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in astrology-related ideas.
