Amazon.com Review 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. --Brian Patterson
Product Description Offering a two-page spread on every day of the year, a one-of-a-kind combination of astrology and numerology presents an abundance of information, including personality profiles, illustrations, meditation suggestions, and more for each day. 20,000 first printing.

Excellent and Speedy Service! September 2, 2010 S.Parris The book came in great condition and very quickly I placed the order and within two days I received the shipment!
my bible September 2, 2010 Mashka This book is amazing. I try not to check this book until I really get to know someone but its hard not too. Only disappointing thing is when a person is boring, most likely their description will be very boring as well. The things that are said about my own birthday for example are quite crazy. Almost every single thing mentioned is right on the money. Usually I would think that they would just break down the typical scorpio characteristics, but no, they go into so many details, that dont apply to other scorpios that I know.
Never going to through this book out.
On the other hand, the authors book about relationships sucks. Was very disappointed.
I always wonder... August 22, 2010 packer_tattoo I always wonder if the service I got on my last purchase can be beaten by my next purchase with AMAZON.COM. Well, once again, they have. I got my used book in great condition and FAR FASTER than I was promised. Under promise and OVER DELIVER is what AMAZON.COM does. This book is a gas. We've looked up or families, friends and I even took it to work. I love every experience I have with AMAZON.COM and this one is just in a long list that's getting longer and longer
Excellent July 7, 2010 Sharon Pate-martin Thank you for the fast service and great condition of the book. Thank you, Thank you.

Outstanding!!! July 1, 2010 EnvyNone (Atlanta, GA) I was loaned a copy from a coworker and I was sooooo blown away at how spot on this was, for nearly everyone I looked at. I plan to use the information about my own sign to improve my self. What's really impressed me are the things I do that I am not aware of!!! I had a friend read mine and she pointed out things about me that were in the book and I didn't even know I was doing them. It's really good because it lets you see how others may preceive your behavior, and to you it's just normal. I recommend this book to everyone. It's not a cult thing or magic or anything like that. This man has a gift that can be used to UNDERSTAND who you are and why you tend to do things. It also allows you to see other peoples behaviors in a different light. The best thing about it is that it's not giving you an excuse to continue doing harmful, conter productive things, but rather encourages you to do better, to use the information to make corrections where you are prone to have issues. Awesome!!! I will be getting my own copy!
