okay i've been reading these two books from Linda Goodman and they're titled Sun Signs and Love Signs. i like her approach as it doesn't take astrology that seriously. i love it when people say they don't believe in this sh-- but look at what happened in my copy of Sun Signs - all raggy taggy and torn to bits. It shows how most people are eager to read about themselves and hear what they always wanted to hear. I'll be hiding my Love Signs behind my shelf just in case.

Sun Signs is a great introduction to those who are curious about astrology but aren't that interested in the technicalities. Goodman enumerates the 12 zodiac signs and divided each through: an overview, male, female, child, boss and employee. I was born under Cancer and the book was surprisingly accurate except for one: money matters. Unlike the typical Cancerian I enjoy wasting money, on myself. I had my other planets "read" and found out that I have a moon in Aquarius and my rising sun was in Leo. So that's why I lose my temper that quickly. I also had fun evaluating my friends and relatives. So that's why father hates being contradicted because he's a Leo. My mother is a brutal talker/nagger because she's a Sagittarius. Lord Irwin never listens to my advice because he's an Aquarius. Dr Dick is a social climber because he's a Capricorn. Lady Magalpok always smells nice because she's a Taurus. Master Pogi always looks at the looking glass because he's a Virgo. My dog Kim is a party b---- because she's a Libra. My brother can't decide quickly because he's also a Libra. The purpose of the book is to help you understand people better, but you can also use it to find what's the best way to infuriate a Scorpio.

Aside from compatibilities in Love Signs I also learned how the Karmic Wheel of the zodiac signs works and how two signs are matched. There are patterns to follow on how an Aries will treat other signs. If you would study the temperaments of the zodiac you'd notice an order. Aries the first sign symbolizes birth and infant: impudent, rash, brash and noisy. Then follows Taurus, the baby, all cuddly and indulgent security hungry folks. Next is Gemini, the child, active, playful and loving words for the first time. Then my sign Cancer, the adolescent (how sad), unpredictable, moody, and, like Taurus, security hungry. And so it goes. It's like a pattern of life. It all ends with Pisces the sign of death, resignation and humility. Then it's all back to Aries the sign of birth. It's all cool stuff.
