unrecognised new sign of osphichus liberated and inspired,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thirteen Signs of the Zodiac: Discover Who You Really Are with the New Sun Signs (Paperback)
this book contains revolutionary ideas which seem correct. Walter overturns and has a switch round with the out-dated zodiac. His work makes a few adjustments to the definitions of the old zodiac signs and this is refreshing, what he seems to be capturing on paper are the more spiritually evolved personalities of today, which is so exciting. The read offers an optimistic vision for humanity at large.

Somehow, the old astrology sounded more convincing...,
By Ashtar Command "Seeker" (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thirteen Signs of the Zodiac: Discover Who You Really Are with the New Sun Signs (Paperback)
There are many things wrong with astrology. As a long-time sceptic in matters astrological, I knew already as a teenager that the Zodiac actually comprises 13 star constellations, rather than the official 12. The rouge constellation is known as Ophiuchus (The Snake-Holder), and is situated in-between Scorpio and Sagittarius. But there's more. The astrological sun signs are badly out of synch with the real star constellations, due to a phenomenon known as precession. Thus, if you were born in the "sun sign of Aries", you were actually born when the sun passed the constellation of Pisces! Which may or may not explain a lot of things...
These arguments, I thought, count as pretty decisive evidence against astrology. That is, until Walter Berg entered the stage. According to Wikipedia, Berg's real name is Barry Parkinson, and he is actually a British astronomer, when not stinting as an astrologist. As an astronomer, Berg (or is it Parkinson?) naturally knows the truth about Ophiuchus and precession. So he decided to devise an entirely new version of astrology, taking these things into consideration. Do I believe in it? Of course not. But it sure is great fun! Just when I got used to being a boring, hard-working family man, read Capricorn, Berg comes along, telling me that I'm actually a New Sagittarian! Well, thank you Walter. Apparently, I'm neither too conventional nor narrow-minded. Actually, I'm always the first to jump up and sing at the Karaoke machine, I'm good at sports, and I love adventurous travel. Not. Somehow, the old astrology felt more convincing. But perhaps I'm just being too conventional and narrow-minded? :D But then, it could have been worse. I could have been a New Ophiuchan! "He is the ultimate hypochondriac who nevertheless sees himself as the one to cure people of their ills. He is a self-proclaimed paranoiac and yet he has the insight to heal the world of its madness. He can be prudish and at the same time laughs at social convention." Gee, sounds like Woody Allen.

Makes for fascinating reading!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thirteen Signs of the Zodiac: Discover Who You Really Are with the New Sun Signs (Paperback)
Having been interested in astrology from a very young age, I was curious to find out about this mysterious 13th sign. I found the book made me question all I had learned about the different signs thus far and left me wanting more. I wanted to know what the astrologers I'd long admired (Liz Greene for instance)thought on the subject. After all, astrology and astronomy once supported one another and to find out everything had shifted and there is now a new sign makes me more confused than ever (I know, I really need to get a life!). As well as myself, I looked up everyone I know signs and could easily believe them all to be true. Am I just hopelessly gullible?! I need more answers! For those not so hopeless and not wasting their lives on trivia (or is it?), this book is fun, well written and especially good for those signs that think their sign is dull (step forward Capricorns and Taureans - you are now so much more fun!).
