Montreal: Occasion Books Light Creasing on Rear Cover; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. EXCERPT: INTRODUCTION - Astrology has often been used as a means of revealing character traits based on the birthday of the individual. The compatability between signs is simply an extension of this process. Generally, the position of the moon (emotions), Mars (physical drive), and Venus (love/nature) are interpreted in conjunction with the Sun sign to determine compatability. Since it is not easy to gather the type of information required to construct a full-fledged compatability chart, the love aspects treated in this book use the Sun sign as a basis. The characteristics of the Sun sign inform us of the types of love each sign seeks, their priorities in a relationship, and highlights some of the difficulties which may be encountered. Remember, there are no bad relationships in the Zodiac. Each distinct union carries with it a different type of potential for personal growth and understanding. Love is a… Read More
