The Secret Language of Relationships: Your Complete Personology Guide to Any Relationship With Anyone
The Secret Language of Relationships adopts the format of its bestselling predecessor, The Secret Language of Birthdays, and the compendious collection of combinations that follows proves the book's assertion that "A relationship is a rather mysterious and amazing third entity, one that can come to lead an existence independent of the will or desire of its two partners... in certain cases a relationship can prove far stronger than either individual, leading us to believe that a certain kind of synergy is at work"...
Well-organized, packed with fascinating "personality" information, and replete with snapshots (on every page) of famous couples - whether colleagues, spouses, or lovers - The Secret Language of Relationships is also simple to use. A glance at the two-page chart at the beginning of the book determines your birthday "period." Next, find the period of the person who interests you--friend, parent, child, lover, or mate. The ensuing relationship dynamics are named colorfully and aptly: "Peas in a Pod," "Uncommon Intimacy," "Flexible Structures," "Few Dull Moments," and "Few Antipathies."
Describing 1,176 possibilities, The Secret Language of Relationships sheds light on the classic questions - the hows and whys of chemistry in relationships. Is there a prime ingredient for love at first sight, a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers of it all? An entertaining exploration of the very thing we cannot do without - each other - this wonderful volume explains why we feel the way we do about the people in our lives, and how - if necessary - to make it better.

The Secret Language of Birthdays: Personology Profiles for Each Day of the Year
Sure, it's neat to know which famous people have the same birthday you do, but wouldn't it be fascinating to know what else you have in common with these celebrities? The Secret Language of Birthdays will show you this and much more. Through "personology" (a combination of characteristics influenced by sun sign, season, and day of the year) and an analysis of several thousand character profiles, authors Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elfers have pinned down the traits most common to people born on the same day.
Rather than taking a strictly astrological approach--how the planets, sun, and stars affect a person's behavior--the authors compare the commonalties of people who share birthdays, and piece together a personality for each day of the year, effectively slicing through geographical and cultural differences, while avoiding the one-size-fits-all trap of newspaper sun-sign horoscopes. Some readers may find the authors' strict use of the Gregorian calendar limiting, but conversion to other time-keeping systems is fairly simple (the authors make note of this problem and contend that a day is a day, whether someone names it October 21 or 1 Rajab). Goldschneider and Elfers focus on a model of the year as a wheel spinning in a recurring circle of patterns, an idea that reaches back far beyond the linear calendars we use today. Each birthday discussed includes important numbers, tarot cards, and a dose of psychology, so while you learn a little about the other people with your birthday, you may even discover something new about yourself.
All Around the Zodiac: Exploring Astrology's Twelve Signs
Bil Tierney is one of the very best teachers in the world of astrology. "All Around the Zodiac" follows up his three previous books on the outer planets with clear, in-depth and highly readable descriptions of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Bil's obvious experience shows on every page, making the book perfect for astrology students, beginners and pros. I've been practicing professionally for almost 30 years and I'm still amazed by Bil's ability to bring new light to this ancient subject. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about astrology, themselves and the workings of the human personality.
Skymates: Love, Sex and Evolutionary Astrology
Romeo and Juliet Star-Crossed No More!
If Shakespeare's lovers had had this book, things might not have ended so badly...
"Skymates" doesn't tell you that if you're a Cancer, you should never marry a Scorpio. The Forrests respect our freedom to choose our mates; they use astrology - with humor, intelligence, and compassion - to help us make the best of the relationships we have.
Early in the book, Chapter Two offers a quick overview of the building blocks of astrolgy: signs, planets and houses - this way, one doesn't have to be a certified professional astrologer to use "Skymates."
The Forrests then cover in-depth the houses that make up the Arc of Intimacy and detail the significance of having planets in those houses.
After that, they move into the synastry portion of the book, touching briefly but not boringly on the mathematics of calculating aspects, then what the various major aspects mean: conjunctions, oppositions, trines and squares. Configurations are covered in a sizeable "cookbook" section where couples can look up their charts: Your Mars is square your partner's Mars - what does that mean? Look it up and find out!
Anyone interested in improving his or her own relationships should pick up a copy of this book.
