The Secret Language of Relationships: Your Complete Personology Guide to Any Relationship with Anyone


Gary Goldschneider - 1997
    The first book presents "personology, " the study of personality types based on the theory that people born on the same day or even during the same week share unique characteristics. More detailed than traditional sun-sign astrology, with its twelve signature personality types, personology divides the year into forty-eight "weeks, " and, thus, describes the specific personality traits for those born during these weeks or periods. The Secret Language of Relationships examines 1,176 combinations - all forty-eight periods combined with one another. The Relationship Location Finder, printed on the book's front and back endpaper, is designed to make finding a particular relationship profile easy: Locate the place where the birthdays of the two people in question intersect to find the page number of the profile. Then learn what the relationship - whether real or theoretical - is all about. Relationships of all stripes are discussed - not just love and marriage - but friendship, career, parent-child, and sibling. Photographs of famous couples - in love and otherwise, more than 2,500 pairings - beautifully illustrate the text.

Taoist Astrology: A Handbook of the Authentic Chinese Tradition


Susan Levitt - 1997
    The ancient Chinese people developed a sophisticated science of astrology that continues to have profound influence in China today. Rooted in the fundamentals of Taoism, it evolved into a system vastly different from Western astrology. Rather than determining personality by the time of the year in which you are born, in Taoist astrology it is the year itself that determines your character. The years form a twelve-year cycle of signs, each named after an animal. Additionally, your personality depends on which of the five traditional Taoist elements you are born under--water, wood, fire, earth, or metal. This makes for a cycle of sixty unique signs. Taoist Astrology includes information for each sign's personality, compatibility, child-parent relations, and rising and falling fortunes during the twelve-year cycle. Discussions of yin and yang, Confucianism and Buddhism, Taoist alchemy, and the connection between Taoist astrology and Western astrology give you all the background you need for understanding one of the oldest systems of divination known to humanity. Taoist Astrology differs from other books on the subject by grounding its concepts in the ancient traditions from which it originated.

Symbolon Deck


Peter Orban - 1997
    Unlike oracle decks, Symbolon is designed for summoning the past rather than diving the future. The cards, which depict historical scenes from European daily life as well as mythological stories, can be used in two different ways to explore memories of the past. The cards can be interpreted with a purely psychological approach, which does not require any knowledge of Astrology. Alternatively, Symbolon can be used a remembrance tool using Astrology. Each possible astrological constellation in the horoscopes is illustrated by the cards as an expression of deep, spiritual activity.The booklet describes each card with both the psychological and the astrological meaning. In addition, each card is interpreted by one of three positions in a spread: as the problem, the way through the problem, or as the outcome.
