Taurus
Author: Joanna Martine Woolfolk
Publisher: Taylor Trade Publications
ISBN: 1589795296
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
Your Sun sign (often referred to simply as your sign) is the zodiac sign the Sun was traveling through at the time of your birth. Your Sun sign is the most important and pervasive influence in your horoscope and in many ways determines how others see you. It governs your individuality, your distinctive style, and your drive to fulfill your goals. It symbolizes the role you are given to play in this life. It’s as if at the moment of your birth you were pushed onstage into a drama called This Is My Life. In this drama, you are the starring actor—and your sign is the character you play. This elegant little volume is packed with what your Sun sign tells you about you. You’ll read about your many positive qualities as well as your negative issues and inclinations. You’ll find insights into your power, potentials, and pitfalls; advice about relationships, love, and sex; clarification on erogenous zones and how you combine romantically with other signs; guidance regarding career, health, and diet; and information about myriads of objects, places, concepts, and things to which you’re attached. You’ll also find topics not usually included in other astrology books—such as how you fit in with Chinese astrology and with numerology.

Star Tales
Author: Ian Ridpath
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 0718894782
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Every night, a pageant of Greek mythology circles overhead. Perseus flies to the rescue of Andromeda, Orion faces the charge of the snorting Bull, and the ship of the Argonauts sails in search of the Golden Fleece. Constellations are the invention of human imagination, not of nature. They are an expression of the human desire to impress its own order upon the apparent chaos of the night sky. Modern science tells us that these twinkling points of light are glowing balls of gas, but the ancient Greeks, to whom we owe many of our constellations, knew nothing of this. Ian Ridpath, award-winning astronomy writer and popularizer, has been intrigued by the myths of the stars for many years. Star Tales is the first modern guide to combine all the fascinating myths in one book, illustrated with the beautiful and evocative engravings from two of the leading star atlases: Johann Bode’s Uranographia of 1801 and John Flamsteed’s Atlas Coelestis of 1729. This classic book, now in a revised and expanded edition, presents additional information on the constellations with new and enchanting illustrations. For anyone interested in the stars and classical mythology, for anyone who is an armchair astronomer, this is the perfect gift.
