Though most folks know their astrological signs and perhaps a few additional basics (Aries can be bossy, Geminis, chatty), probably few can cite details about specific time periods within each of the 12 signs. Goldschneider (The Secret Language of Birthdays) here presents an intriguing analysis of the astrological influences and general qualities behind each week or "personology period" of the year. According to Goldschneider, these weeks-and even the specific days-affect not just those born within them, but the energy of the world at large. For instance, an "Aries I" is born between March 25 and April 2 (the "Week of Curiosity"), and is likely to be both honest and noble. For those born in other weeks, the author suggests, this Week of Curiosity is a time to "appreciate innocence, simplicity, and even naïveté." Goldschneider also offers a list of other personology periods whose members must be cautioned, as they are likely to encounter challenges during the Week of Curiosity. Those born during the Week of Empathy (June 25-July 2), for example, might get "bogged down in heavy, complex emotional states." The author also covers the volatile "cusp" periods between signs (e.g. April 19-24, the Cusp of Power, is "one of the strongest weeks of the year"). Part guidebook to the signs and part investigation of human qualities in general, this is a valuable book for people seeking to understand how birth time might affect lifetime. Agent, Noah Lukeman.

Book Description
The coauthor of the phenomenal success The Secret Language of Birthdays and the creator of "personology" presents the first astrology book to address the seasons of the year and to show how time characterizes events just as birthdays characterize people. The Astrology of Time picks up where the very popular Secret Language series left off, providing unique guidelines for living based on time of year. A groundbreaking book that takes a distinctive look at the nature of time itself, The Astrology of Time explores the inherent energy of each season, month, week, and day and how that energy can influence situations as well as individuals. Fascinating and practical, The Astrology of Time examines the personology of the seasons, covering the twelve astrological signs and the forty-eight personology periods: Why are Scorpio days more dangerous than others? How can we spice up Pisces time? How can we avoid vacation burnout during hot Leo time? What is the nature of a Virgo event? Why are cusp periods often unstable? The Astrology of Time addresses these questions -- and very many more -- as it shows us how to understand seasonal, weekly, and daily energies and live our lives accordingly.
