bekahpaige's review against another edition
2.0
Book cost $.99. Read it quickly. It was entertaining & I'm a big-time skeptic but felt it was pretty accurate for me being a Libra. Where it got a little off and sexist was when it described the Libra "woman" as compared to the man, felt a bit outdated at that point.

While I have always liked Goodman's style, her books are rather dated (keeping in mind that they were written decades ago and continually republished): a good writing style and an assumption that astrology as a determinant of personality does not age, but the interpretation does as they are often through a cultural filter. Now it is expected that both spouses work, women can handle things independently, etc. This is not to say I do not enjoy her books, as I often reread sections, and even quote/paraphrase her once in a while ("Aries are stubborn enough to touch a hot stove twice, but not the same stove... Remember that." I find it is a good explanation). However, you will occasionally see the colour of dated perceptions.

Yeah, this book was definitely written in 1968. Here is a quote about a Gemini male Sun Sign as a parent, "See that the youngsters don't confine him needlessly, don't ask him to babysit unless he obviously wants to, and he'll take to fatherhood nicely, with one child or a dozen."
If you want a good laugh while learning about sun signs and stereotypical gender roles, this is your book. This book may not be for you if you don't relate to your sun sign traits.
