The New York Times–bestselling author’s classic guide to astrology: “What makes Sun Signs different is that much of the writing is done with humor” (The Boston Globe). Before 1968, astrology as we know it had a very limited following in the United States and around the world. The publication of Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs changed that forever. Newspapers began running astrology columns, and soon, an increasing number of people knew their sign (as well as yours) and began to study astrological tendencies. Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs quickly established itself as the worldwide introductory bible to astrology for beginner and expert alike. The book’s simple organizational technique made it easy for everyone to follow and understand themselves and others, sign-by-sign. This updated edition of the groundbreaking classic is an enjoyable way to discover the world of astrology today.

Embark on your cosmic path to self-discovery with this comprehensive guide to the twelve signs of the zodiac.

Taking each of the twelve signs in turn, world famous astrologer Linda Goodman explains the importance of the sun - the most powerful of all stellar bodies - in astrology. She describes the characteristics of each sign and how these can be used to really get to know the men, women, children, bosses and employees in your life. This newfound knowledge allows us to feel closer to one another and to understand that, as Goodman says, ‘Not all Capricorns are meek, not all Leos are outwardly domineering and not all Virgos are virgins.’ Learn all this and much, much more from the world-famous astrologer who has helped millions divine their way to success, happiness and love by studying the sun signs. Before publication of Sun Signs in 1968, astrology as we know it had a very limited following in the United States and around the world. With this book, Linda Goodman changed that forever, bringing metaphysical consciousness to millions of readers around the world for the first time. Newspapers began running astrology columns, and Goodman herself contributed to these in the larger mass circulation women's magazines. An increasing number of people knew their sign and how to interpret the signs of others, introducing the study of astrological tendencies as we now know it.

Using the Sidereal Zodiac, like Nostradamus, an astrologer and metaphysician shares her insight about the blending of Eastern and Western astrology in The Zodiac Conspiracy. This book underscores the omission of Ophiuchus, a major constellation that the Greeks left off the tropical zodiac wheel. It includes a brief section on Ophiuchus, the only constellation named after a real man named Imhotep. The 13 Sun Signs of the Zodiac outlines the differences between popular tropical astrology (that you read in the daily horoscopes) and the science/astronomy of sidereal astrology. This book merges the sidereal and tropical systems to help us understand how the tropical zodiac represents who we are learning to be, while the sidereal zodiac represents who we really are. Rev.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was really a Sagittarian (The Seeker) who was learning how to be a Capricorn goat, climbing up the mountain to become The Achiever. Jesus was probably born under the sign of Virgo to a virgin mother. However, he was really a Libra (The Peacemaker) who was learning how to be a Virgo (The Selfless Servant). All of this and much, much more is explained in this extraordinary book13 Sun Signs of Zodiac.
