Product Description
Book Description
Scientific proof of the connection between zodiac predictions and human behaviour
Product Description
This is not a book of predictions. It is a sensational book which gives conclusive evidence of the connection between events and star signs. Taking the answers to millions of questionnaires from universities, publishers and insurance companies, an institute set up by Gunter Sachs analysed the extensive data, in cooperation with the statistics department of the University of Munich, and the results are revealed in this excellent, and highly readable, book. Marriage, divorce, suicide, academic life, work, illness, death, criminal activities, even driving accidents - all are analysed with user-friendly charts and graphs to enable the reader to spot his own data.

Very interesting, a study which tends to prove some of the generalisations about star signs and personality have some truth in them. It includes statistical charts of correlations between various character traits and star signs. It may be that personality is related to the hormone levels in the mother's blood when babies are developing in the womb. These in turn are related to light and day length. Has Gunter done a follow up study in the Southern hemisphere to see if the correlations are reversed?

At last, definitive scientific evidence!
28 Mar 2000
For anyone who has studied astrology in depth and been astounded by its accuracy, here is the book to show to your sceptical friends. This is a thorough examination of how each of the twelve signs fare in relation to marriage, study, employment, death, criminal activity and so on. The book provides abundant meaningful statistics and analyses these clearly and carefully. This text should be of particular interest to psychologists and scientists to broaden their minds or anyone who wants to understand their fellow man a bit better.Thankyou Mr Sachs. Highly Recommended .

Can not be ignored
1 April 2003
Write a heterodoxical book and watch the numbnuts lie and squerm. Some people who suggest that they know better, have found it impossible to attack the findings so they attack the author as a 'fool'. But Sach didn't do the stats himself - they were carried out by a group of highly professional statistitions from the Ludwig-Maximilian Univeristy of Munich and theAllensbach Institure for Demgraphic Research.
I have no interest in astrology but there is now far too scientific evidence to believe the blockers who do not want to find evidence for what they do not like. Sach's work is good, building on solid material from people like Michel Gauquelin in France and Percy Seymour in England.
Don't be fooled by the blusterers - there is something in astrology and the physics is slowly being unravelled.

This book is useless.
19 Jan 2003
Sachs' book is full of tables and impressive looking statistical methods. Unfortunately, the results of the statistical methods are not interpreted correctly. Just because somebody read a statistics textbook and learned how to do a chi-square test doesn't necessarily mean he can apply the methodology correctly. It's just as well this book's out of print. Buy a statistics textbook instead and learn some probability and statistical methodology. Forget about astrology.
