Linda Goodman's Sun Signs are

amazingly accurate! Know yours

Aries is very direct, to put it mildly. Deceptiveness and deviousness are entirely foreign to the
Mars nature. Frankness and refreshing honesty are Arien trademarks, yet rams don't make the
best credit risks. Some of them lack stability and evidence a child-like lack of responsibility.
Even those who have matured can forget debts in the excitement of the ever-present new
challenge of the moment, which will always consume their entire attention. They'll eventually
pay their bills cheerfully and willingly, but you may be out of breath when you catch up with
them. Although Aries is the firebrand, who forges his way through life with daring, initiative and
enterprise, there's a strange quirk to his bravery. Hell face the abominable snowman or the
Frankenstein monster without the slightest trace of fear, yet he can't stand physical pain. Every
Arien, at some time in his life, will indulge in rash behavior that brings an injury to the head or
face.

All about Aries

Aries people have decided features, usually sharp, seldom soft or blurred. The well-marked
brows often join with the narrow bridge of the nose in forming the sign of the ram, perhaps as a
warning to anyone with the silly idea of trying to stop or conquer him that those symbolic horns
mean business. You may notice a mole or a scar on the head or face, a reddish cast to the hair
in the sunlight, and more color than average in the complexion. You may also sense invisible
sparks shooting out in all directions. The movements will usually be quick and capable, with a
mental process to match. Both the male and female rams normally have broad shoulders, and
they may walk with the body slightly bent forward, leading with the head, so to speak, and
almost always in a great hurry.

Characteristics of Taurus by Linda Goodman

The bull seldom rushes forward to stomp on your toes. He simply wants to be left alone. Don't
disturb him and he'll remain contented. Press him and he becomes obstinate. Shove too hard,
tease too much, and be prepared for violent rage. Taurus seldom worries, frets or chews his
nails. He can pout and brood when things don't suit his fancy, but he's not the nervous, twitchy
type. It's his nature to be stoic, and take things in his stride, and nothing really alters this basic
tendency. Taurus people are home folks. There's scarcely a bull who doesn't love to luxuriate
under his own roof and stretch out amid comfortable, familiar surroundings. Change upsets him.

All about Taurus

You can expect many May people to actually resemble a bull, the men that is, and the women
born under the Sun sign will have an intangible, elusive bovine quality about them. The look in
the female Taurean's eyes will be serene and limpid, yet steady. She will move gracefully,
indolently, but with a suggestion of hidden strength. As for the males, the neck will often be thick
or muscular, the shoulders, chest or back, or all three, broad and strong. The entire body will be
well proportioned, whether short or tall. The ears are usually small and close to the head. When
they eat, they chew slowly, and ordinarily have excellent digestions. Not all, but many Taureans
have curly or wavy hair. It's usually dark, like the eyes and skin. Even the occasional blonde,
light-eyed and fair-skinned Taurus people will never suggest fragility of mind or character.

Characteristics of Gemini by Linda Goodman

If there are times when a Gemini person makes you think you're seeing double, don't run out
and change your glasses. Just remember that Gemini is the sign of the twins, and there are two
distinct sides to his changeable personality. A Gemini can change his clothes, his job, his love
life or his residence as fast as he changes his mind, and that's pretty fast. They can do two.
things at once with less effort than it takes most of us to do one. A Gemini knows how to swerve
you from your most stubbornly held convictions. He can twist you like a pretzel with his mental
karate, get you to agree with him and love him for doing it to you.

All about Gemini

The Gemini build is generally slender, agile and taller than average. Many of them have small,
sharp features, as if they were cut in a cameo. You'll find some with brown eyes, of course, but
the majority of those ruled by Mercury will have beautiful, crystal-clear hazel, blue, green or gray
eyes that twinkle and dart here and there. Geminis never rest their eyes on one object for more
than a few seconds. In fact, their alert, quick-moving eyes are often the easiest way to
recognize them. The hair can be light or dark or both-like, streaked. Twins, remember? The
nose is likely to be long and straight or dainty-in either case, probably well formed. There's
frequently a receding hairline in the men (from all that activity in the brain, perhaps), and both
sexes normally have rather high foreheads.

Characteristics of Cancerians by Linda Goodman

You will have no trouble finding the Cancerian. He will be the funniest one in the room, a laugh a
minute. If he's not performing himself, then he'll be grinning at someone else's antics. They
secretly enjoy attention, and they'll soak up any headlines they get. His tears are never
crocodile tears. They flow from the deep rivers of his fragile and vulnerable heart. You can
wound his sensitive feelings with a harsh glance or a rough t- tone of voice. Like mirrors and
cameras, they absorb images and reflect them faithfully. Every experience is engraved on the
heart as a photograph is etched on a negative plate. Cancerian compassion is deep and highly
intuitive. There's hardly a secret he can't strip naked, if he chooses. No matter how much money
he piles up in reserve, Cancer never feels really secure, and no matter how much love he gets,
he always needs more.

All about Cancerians

Some of them are indisputably plump, but the great majority has a strikingly bony structure. The
arms and legs may be extra long in proportion to the rest of the body. The shoulders will be
broader than average, and often the hands and feet are either unusually tiny or quite large. Most
Cancerians are a little top heavy, and they waddle slightly when they walk fast. Whether the
body is plump or wiry, the women will usually wear a sweater size considerably larger than the
skirt size. Or they'll be absolutely flat-chested. Either way, this particular characteristic is quite
marked. There is never a middle ground for this part of the anatomy with female crabs. Lots of
Cancer people have very green thumbs. They produce some beautiful gardens that are tended
and watered with loving care. Most of them also have very green savings accounts, which they
cultivate with the same devotion.

Characteristics of Leo by Linda Goodman

There are no introverted Leos. There are only Leos who pretend to be introverts. Don't let that
soft purr fool you. Even the gentle Leos are inwardly sold on their royal right to rule friends and
family as they peek out from behind the curtains and watch for their chance on stage. You won't
ignore the lion for long in a group. He'll either get the center of the stage with dramatic statements and action-or hell get it by pouting and sulking behind the potted palms until someone
rushes over to ask what's wrong. Love of teaching is why so many Leos end up as educators,
politicians and psychiatrists. The exasperating thing is that they're quite good at rationalizing
things and smoothing out the wrinkles in your life. Too bad they can't manage their own affairs
with as much ease and finesse.

All about Leos

Leo expresses approval generously and openly, and can give almost embarrassingly
extravagant compliments. He's not at all bashful about his displeasure, either. As for the
physical attributes of this Sun sign, just look around for people who resemble a lion or a lioness,
with a mane of hair that sweeps back off the face, and a deceptively lazy look. Leos walk
straight and proud, with the smooth glide of the cat. The females combine lithe grace with a
hidden, quivering intensity. This last will be disguised by a soft, usually calm and steady nature.
But don't forget that the lioness is always ready to pounce if she feels threatened. Her claws are
sheathed, but sharp. You'll notice a commanding air and stately bearing, as Leo looks down on
all the mere mortals beneath him. Ordinarily, the movements and speech are deliberate. Leos
seldom talk fast, run or even walk quickly.

Characteristics of Virgos by Linda Goodman

Social gatherings are not the best hunting grounds when you're searching for these
perfectionists. You're more likely to find them working late at the office than being gregarious at
a cocktail party. It's not easy for Virgos to relax sufficiently to enjoy the carefree social swim,
because they're basically uncomfortable in crowds. The first thing you'll notice about the typical
Virgo is the definite impression he gives that there's a serious problem on his mind he's
struggling to solve-or a vague feeling that he's secretly worried about something. He probably
is. Worry comes naturally to him. Virgos are very critical of their own photographs and fussy in
the extreme about how they look, both on film and in person. If you're observant, you'll catch
them primping in front of a mirror when they think no one is looking.

All about Virgos

The Virgo is normally a small person, certainly no giant, but he's muscular, and he has far more
strength than his fragile appearance suggests. Virgo is quick to deny his habits and traits. He
has an apparent blindness to his faults and he seems unable to see his own weaknesses in as
clear a light as he sees everything else. But the truth is that he does see them-and he sees
them in such infinite detail that he can't bear to hear them generalized. Try to tell a typical Virgo
he's critical, a worrier, fussy, neat or unusually concerned with diet and health, and you'll face a
fiat denial. You won't find those people lavish in affection or in spending money. They're
normally prudent in both areas, giving their love quietly and steadily with little
demonstrativeness, and handling cash just as conservatively.

Characteristics of Librans by Linda Goodman

The Libra character is made up of just about equal parts of kindness, gentleness, fairness, plain
cussed argumentativeness, stubborn refusal to capitulate, philosophical logic and indecision.
Librans love people, but they hate large crowds. Like gentle doves of peace, they go around
mediating and patching tip quarrels between others; still they enjoy a good argument
themselves. Librans know instinctively that to restore harmony to the body, they must alternate
their active spells with complete rest. There's a deep richness to Libra's emotions, no matter
which emotion is high or low at a given moment, and a philosophic approach to both sorrows
and joys that seldom fails to smooth things out eventually. Librans are healthier than most
people, unless they push themselves too bard, and forget to take those necessary rest periods.

All about Librans

The physical appearance of these people may require almost as much concentration as the
personality. There's no such thing as a typical Libra feature, unless ifs the Venus dimple. Libran
features are almost always even and well-balanced. They're pleasing, but not very noticeable,
so it's easier to start with the dimples. There will usually be a couple in the cheeks or one in the
chin. If they're not in the face, you might check to see if the knees are dimpled. The women are
almost invariably pretty, and the men are usually handsome. Still, not all of the beautiful people
in the world are Librans; Venus beauty is in a class by itself, and it's not always easy to separate
it from the good looks of other Sun signs. You'll never meet a Libran who doesn't have a smile
like a soft, white cloud. Most Librans are full of curves, rather than angles.

Characteristics of Scorpios by Linda Goodman

Most people feel nervous and ill at ease under Scorpio's steady gaze. You'll have to break the
spell and look away first. He'll outstare you every time. Next, listen to him speak. The tone can
be velvety soft, husky or sharply cutting, the speech slow and measured or clipped and
staccato, but what he says will never be self-effacing. Scorpio has total ego. He knows what he
is and he knows what he is not, and nothing anyone else thinks will change this knowledge.
You'll seldom see Scorpio give himself away by blushing or flushing, frowning or grinning.
Smiles are rare, but genuine. The body follows the same orders as the face. There will rarely be
any jumping, sudden starts or nervous mannerisms. If you ever come across a chattering
Scorpio whose eyes wander, chalk him up as an astrological exception as rare as the dodo bird.

All about Scorpions

Most Pluto people have powerful physiques. The features are noticeably heavy or sharp, and
clearly drawn, and the nose is quite prominent, sometimes beak-shaped. Ordinarily, the
complexion is very pale, almost translucent, and the brows are heavy and knit together over the
bridge of the nose. There's a crackling, electric vitality about the very presence of a Scorpio that
gives him away. As quiet as he tries to be, such a vital force can't be hidden completely. The
males will have a heavy growth of hair on the arms and legs, often with a reddish cast. No
matter how his emotions are stirred, youll rarely see them reflected on Scorpio's frozen,
immobile face. These people proudly and consciously practice a blank expression. They
command their features to remain firm, and their features obey.

Characteristics of Sagittarians by Linda Goodman

Pick any party and look at the center of the liveliest group. See that fellow sitting there happily
with his rather large foot stuck in his mouth? He's a Sagittarian who has just gone out on a
verbal limb, but he doesn't know it yet. Sagittarius is completely free of malice. He blurts out his
shockingly direct speech in total innocence. The fact that he usually adds insult to injury when
he tries to fix it also escapes him. Don't judge him too harshly. He means well. Not that he
needs your sympathy-or mine. Under his tactless manner is an extremely clever mind and high
standards. His unique combination of wit, intelligence and fiery drive usually brings the archer
straight to the winner's circle. What really gets you is that both male and female Sagittarians are
oblivious to their own blunt speech.

All about Sagittarians

Jupiter eyes are as bright and alert as a sparrow's, and they sparkle and twinkle with refreshing
humor. The archers are either very tall and athletic looking or shorter than average, with strong,
sturdy bodies. The tall ones will remind you of thoroughbred horses or spirited colts. They will
often make wide, sweeping gestures, which may be dramatic and vigorous, but possibly not
very graceful. Sagittarius can wave his arms to make a point, and upset the ketchup. Hell stride
purposefully forward, head high, and trip over the curbstone. What is on the archer's mind and
heart is almost instantly on his lips. He's as frank and earnest as a six-year-old.

Characteristics of Capricorns by Linda Goodman

Where will you find him? Just about anywhere he can advance or improve himself. Anywhere he
can get ahead and further his secret ambitions. Try a social gathering. The Capricorn is not a
carefree party type, but the goat we're studying is a social climber as well as a mountain
climber. Pick a mixed group, preferably in the upper income level. You can also try the middle
income level, but the lower you go beneath that, the smaller your chances of finding a
Capricorn. There are Capricorns who are deliciously romantic- who understand the strange light
of the moon and the glorious colors of the butterfly's wing. But they won't let their emotions blind
them to the facts. You'll seldom find the straight, well-shaped Capricorn nose stuck in other
people's business or the Saturn tongue wagging in gossip.

All about Capricorns

Capricoms can be stocky and muscular, thin and wiry or plump and soft. But no matter how the
body is shaped, the goat will give the impression of being rooted to the spot, until he decides to
move to another spot. Generally, Satum people have straight, lank, dark hair, dark, steady eyes,
and swarthy olive or tan complexions. Many Capricorns have strong feet and wear sensible
shoes. Their hands are capable, their voices usually even and soothing-and you'll probably
notice a gentleness that flatters and persuades. Caprieorns can look and act as harmless as a
feather quilt, but they're as tough as a keg of nails. Capricoms are inclined to be weaker, more
sickly than other youngsters, but both strength and resistance to disease increase with age.

Characteristics of Aquarians by Linda Goodman

Generally kindly and tranquil by nature, Aquarians nevertheless enjoy defying public opinion,
and they secretly delight in shocking more conventional people with occasional erratic conduct.
These normally soft-spoken and courteous souls can suddenly short circuit you with the most
amazing statements and actions at the most unpredictable times. The typical Uranian is half
Albert Schweitzer and half Mickey Mouse. His feet can be wearing sandals, boots, oxfords, or
hush puppies, and he'll seldom bother to check whether they're appropriate for the occasion.
He'll show up barefoot if he feels like it, and laugh at you for laughing at him. Freedom-loving
Uranians can be acutely funny, perverse, original, conceited and independent, but they can also
be diplomatic, gentle, sympathetic and timid.

All about Aquarians

Look for a strange, faraway look in the eyes, as if they contained some kind of magic,
mysterious knowledge you can't penetrate. Aquarius eyes are typically vague, with a dreamy,
wandering expression. The hair is frequently straight and silky, likely to be blonde, sandy or light
brown; the complexion is pale and the height is usually taller than average. You'll notice a
marked nobility of profile. Uranus features are finely chiseled, suggestive of Roman emperors
cut on old gold coins. True Aquarians will often adopt the pose of the drooping head when
they're thinking about a problem, or just after they've asked a question. The head drops abruptly
forward, or cocks to one side, waiting for your reaction. Curiously, thanks to the dual sexuality of
Uranus, there are often feminine characteristics in the male bodies, such as broad hips, for
example-and masculine characteristics in the female body, such as broad shoulders.

Characteristics of Pisces by Linda Goodman

Whoever said, "I don't want to be a millionaire-I just want to live like one," was truly reflecting the
Piscean philosophy. Neptune people. Most of them wouldn't give a minnow for rank, power or
leadership, and wealth holds little attraction. Few Pisces people accumulate money by the
bushel, unless they marry it or inherit it. You'll be impressed with the Piscean charm of manner
and lazy good nature. He's indifferent to insults, recriminations and other people's bristling
opinions. The fish was born with the desire to see the world through rose-colored spectacles.
He knows well enough about the seamy side of humanity, but he prefers to live in his own
watery, gentle world, where everyone is beautiful and all actions are lovely.

All about Pisceans

When you meet Pisces people, look first at their feet. They'll be quite noticeably small and
dainty (including the men's), or else they'll be huge and spread out like a tired washerwoman's.
The Pisces hands will also be tiny, fragile, and exquisitely formed-or else big ham bones that
look as though they belong behind a plow. The skin is silky soft; the hair is fine, often wavy, and
usually light. Pisces eyes are liquid, heavy-lidded, and full of strange lights. Frequently, but not
always, they're slightly protruding, bulbous and extremely compelling. Some Piscean eyes are
simply beautiful. There's no other word to describe them. Few Pisceans are tall; Neptune bodies
are sometimes awkwardly built, but with their extraordinary grace, it's seldom discernible.
