The Secret Language of Birthdays: Your Complete Personology Guide for Each Day of the Year

Product Information

The Secret Language of Birthdays is truly a celebration of our differences and similarities as human beings. One example of this is Katherine Hepburn, who perhapswanted to cultivate the image of a Scorpio--the studios gave out November 8 as her birthday. Our twist is that you only see about a third of the people in the system - only those whose birthdays match with your for either romance, friendship or business.

It’s the book for the ultimate narcissist,” said Megan Newman, the vice president and publisher of Avery, the imprint of Penguin Random House that publishes the book. Sun-sign astrologers have mostly commented on human personality by applying some generalizations about signs to people.Thus, bringing astrology, history and psychology together in concentric cycles or spirals--stressing evolutionary rather than static models for the individual--is at the heart of person­ology. The Secret Language of Relationships shows how astrology can craft a relationship profile between any two individuals born during any two weeks of the year. Aron Goldschneider, Gary Goldschneider’s son and the book’s editor, was unaware of the occasion until reminded recently. From these notions, a personality type emerged for each of the twelve zodiac signs and then, naturally, for those born under each zodiac sign.

In this way an astrological sign is really nothing absolute in itself but rather a spoke in the great wheel. The historical ramifications of the inability of man to exactly measure this length have been appalling.Nineteen years and over one million copies later, The Secret Language of Birthdays continues to fascinate readers by describing the characteristics associated with being born on a particular day. Goldschneider’s theory of “personology” proposes that all of life is cyclical: people born on the same day occupy the same point in the year’s cycle and thus share certain characteristics. Music, writing, media, politics, sports, science, philosophy, the fine arts and adventure all figure prominently.

By looking at the characteristics of manypeople born on a given day, and correlating what weknow about them with basic principles of psychology and astrology,personology seeks to explore certainrecurring ideas, actions, concepts and themes which those born on this day--now, in the historical past and in the future--are seemingly fated to encounter. Until then, most astrology books, like “Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs,” told you about yourself only in the broad strokes of the 12 zodiac signs: Sagittarians are purportedly free spirits, Scorpios are passionate, and so on.Presumably this is in addition to the aforementioned pure psychic intuition, but I don't pretend to know Goldschneider's methods and he doesn't seem inclined to share them. Because of this, a surprising number of people around the world not only know their signs but recognize their symbols in their daily lives. The 366 personality profiles are based on astrology, numerology, the tarot, and Gary Goldschneider’s observations of more than 14,000 people. After considering famous people born each day, studying them, reading about them, following their lives as well as the family, friends, and acquaintances the author knows, and taking a moment to look past all those apparent differences Ignoring what makes them true individuals, a simple question is asked: What is it that they all have in common? people “seem to have difficulty getting it together” is one reason I spent my 20s laser focused on my career.
